Weddings are pretty cut and dry with their general structure, so why not cut loose and do something different where you can? While a small part of your overall day, your escort cards can bring an event to life.

Escort cards are small items designed to lead your guests to their tables. Traditionally, a simple name card would suffice but many modern couples are looking to inject their personality and humour into their big day.

Get creative and offer something to remember with your escort cards. These days, anything and everything could work. From miniature skateboards to coffee cups and even dinosaur figurines, the possibilities are truly endless.

Here are a few fun and funky escort cards we’ve found:

Our team carefully hand placed each vintage postcard for this beautiful escort card display of 291 names. Complete with vinyl lettering, a vintage bike and some touches of floral and smilax, guests discovered where in the world they were sitting…

Alright at this point we’ve SEEN some pretty innovative escort card displays but this one is just next level genius ✨⁣ .⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Here’s the deets: ceramic colorful ring dishes made by @amorology’s bride’s talented mother were housed in custom built display cases they created with @backupbackdrops and were calligraphed by @fourthingspaper to guide guests to their seats! How brilliant and meaningful?!⁣ .⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (Photo by @ashleykelemen)
