We all know the feeling of arriving to a wedding and the headache of looking for our names through the tired old seating cards; it cannot only be tedious but a bit boring! This year in the wedding world we are soaking up so many great new concepts and embracing how much the wedding industry is blossoming!
Escort cards and seating chart displays are often the first thing your guests will see or experience at your wedding, so why not make it interesting! An escort card is not just a piece of paper with a name and table number, but sets the tone and helps carry the theme of your event all the way from the lobby into your reception space! Add your own personal touch and more importantly your wedding style to this display and get the excitement moving from the second your guest walk in the door!
Save a tree, use a Seating Board!
The classic envelope seating card has been there and done that! It’s time to save some paper, and move on to a new classic! Escort boards/signs are making a big statement at events throughout the world, and we are hoping right on board, pardon the pun! We love that this idea can fit in to so many different styles and themes as you can use a variety of elements to create these displays. From wood, lucite, chalkboards and more, you can design this to fit into your perfect party!

Interactive Escort Display
Another trend that brings a lot of character are interactive escort displays. The guests play their part in finding their name/seat number but are also invited to participate in the fun! Adding a special treat is a great way to get the party started! Glasses of champagne or a touch of sweet is a new and creative way to get guests in the wedding mood and have a exciting start from the gecko!

Seating Cards aka Wedding Favors
One of the last escort displays we loving this wedding season is incorporating your guest favors into their seating cards. It’s exciting because not only are you killing two birds with one stone, but the guests are always thrilled to take a little token home with them from your special night, and now it’s better than ever with a personalized touch! These ideas can range from many favors like bottle openers, picture frames, luggage tags, succulents and more! Get as creative as you would like, and give the guests something you would love to receive as a favor! It’s a great personal touch that makes a fabulous connection.
