On of my favorite options--particualrly for spring and summer weddings--is to use natural elements like fruit and flowers. Print guests names with typewriters (or maybe some courier new made to look like a typewriter) or beautiful caligraphy and you've created a really unique display for your guests.
Or if you have an especially unique theme, try to work that theme into the escort cards. I love excort cards that are not cards at all, but bottles, or a library card catalog.
But even if you do choose to do paper, there are so many ways to arrange the cards that it does not have to be boring. I love the use of tags, or arranging the cards as leaves or blossoms on a tree. And I've seen a lot of weddings using beautiful ribbon or string in escort card arrangements.
Lastly, I love it when escort arrangements are done by using large chalkboards (I know PB likes this one as well).

I'm just guessing here but are the matrioskas your favorite? I lean towards the lavender sprig and the mini bottles
ReplyDeletesuch fun ideas. i wish i had something more creative like this at my wedding.
ReplyDeleteI had never even thought about this nor have I paid any attention when I've been at weddings! Duh! I just want to know where my table is so that I can put my purse down.
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm looking at these ideas I rather like the ones that look like playing cards (it needs to fit in a purse or pocket) ... maybe for a gift you could give a deck of cards with your cute faces on them!
