Thematic Thursdays: Designing Your Escort Card Table

Couples have been moving away from escort cards in the last couple of years because they feel it might be too formal for their wedding, a lot of work and extra money spent. Personally, I love finding my own escort card amongst all the guest names. It makes me feel special knowing that I was one of the guests that the bride and groom wanted on their special day.

While I agree it is extra work, planning and money to have an escort card table, it is a great way to introduce your wedding theme right when your guests arrive. The display can be any way you want it, formal or informal. After all your guests have found their escort card and the wedding reception has started, you can use this table as double duty as a dessert table, midnight snack table, or wedding favor table (for guests to pick up upon leaving for the night!)

If I have convinced you to have an escort card table, here are some inspiration ideas!
