Assigning a seat and table for guests at your wedding or event can be a daunting task. Communicating it to your guests should be the easy part!
Escort cards vs place cards – what is the difference?
An easy way to remember the difference between escort cards and place cards is to think about an escort card as escorting you to your table; while a place card is placed at your place setting or seat.
The function of the escort card is to communicate to guests their assigned table. Escort card displays come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. From dramatic wall displays, to oversized framed signs, to a traditional table – cards or names are typically arranged alphabetically to allow guests to easily find their name and know where to go when it is time to be seated. Usually couples are listed together.
Once at the table, you find the placecard. Typically this type of card is simply the guest’s name. Sometimes it will include a pre-selected entree choice for each guest. We love incorporating the menu and the place card into a single piece, giving a personalized touch to each menu. Unlike escort cards where couple’s are listed together – every individual receives a place card – one for each seat.
