    What are escort cards and place cards and why do you need them?

An escort card lets your guests know exactly where they will be seated. This is, if you have assigned seating. Each card typically has the guests name and table number/name  as to where they will be seated. It is suitable to do one card per guest, one card per couple and/or family. It is your event -You decide! Of course the more cards placed on the table, the more of an effect it will have when guests walk in.

Escort cards are placed at your reception table. As soon as guests walk into your reception this is the first thing they will see. People go all out with reception tables so your escort cards should definitely make a statement - Don't be afraid of color ! Color pops and will make these cards even more unique- Please contact us for creative ways to display your escort cards.

Once your guests arrive to the table they have been assigned to and you have a designated spot for them at the table, a place card is necessary at each place setting. This allows each guest to know exactly where they will be seated once they arrive to their designated table. A place card can have each guests first name, full name or  full name with salutation depending on how formal your event is.

For wedding receptions where plated meals will be served it is extremely important for each individual guest to have a place card at their place setting. This is especially important if each guest chose ahead of time which meal they will be enjoying. This way the servers will know what type of meal to server to which guest.

Instead of physically writing on each place card the entree selection your guest has chosen such as chicken or beef, we have created a simpler, more elegant and discreet way of making this known to the servers. We use different types of embellishments, ribbons or papers to distinguish meal types instead of words. i.e. guests who chose chicken will have a pink ribbon, guests who chose beef will have a red ribbon etc... The embellishments colors and types are custom to your event so you may choose items that will match your tables. Please remember the guest tables are where your guests spend the most amount of time. Each card is handmade and hand cut to your likings - size and design. Place cards set at tables will add to your decor and are a very important part of your table design.

It is very important you let your caterer know of the chosen color coding system as soon as possible. We can create charts for you to give to your caterer ahead of time to make this as easy as possible for them.
