There are many ways to get creative and show your personality with your wedding details. One small detail that can be a huge hit with your guests is your choice of escort cards. There are SO many great escort card ideas out there that range from elegant to playful to simple and sweet. You can find plenty of options through online resources or completely personalize them and come up with your own! In no particular order, here are 10 great ideas that I’ve come across …
1. Plants – Your escort cards can also double as your wedding favors! Small plants are a great wedding detail that can be used as both. Just add a little tag with the guest’s names and table numbers. Perfect for an eco-friendly wedding.

2. Polaroid Pictures - If you happen to have photos of all of your guests (or the time to take them before the wedding), they would be great to use for your escort cards! There are programs that will take any photo and make it look like a Polaroid picture … so whether you use an actual Polaroid or not, you can get the look of it for your escort cards. The space at the bottom is perfect for writing in names and table numbers!

I’ve seen plenty of cute vintage pins out there that could be used to dress up your escort cards – perfect for a vintage or floral themed wedding. This is definitely a little surprise that your guests (particularly the ladies) will be excited to put in their pocket or purse once they’ve found their table.

5. Small Toys – Depending on your wedding colors or theme, you may be able to find small toys to use as escort card holders. If you come across a toy that just fits in perfectly with your wedding, do some research. You may be able to buy those little buggers in bulk!

8. Paper Flowers – You can have fun escort cards with nothing more than paper! Try dressing up your paper cards with little paper accessories – like little flowers. These are cute, simple … and even use recycled paper.

9. Candles – If you’re having en evening wedding, candles are great to use. The candles will be lit just before your guests arrive. Once each guest finds the candle holder with their name on it, they’ll have a little flame to guide them to their table. These are also great because there will be a small candle lit for each guest at all of your tables.

10. Shells - Beach themed weddings have always been a bride and groom favorite. If you’re planning a wedding on or near the beach why not use real shells in your wedding details. You can easily find or buy different kinds of seashells. Glue them onto your escort cards to add just that little something extra.

Hi, that is so cute! You must have a lot of patience!
Did you give your florist the boxes to fit the flats into, or did they do it all for you? We’re buying flats from a nursery, but we have to fit them into smaller boxes so we were curious.
Thank you!
Most of the times i visit a blog I notice that most blogs are amateurish. On the contrary,I have to say that you have done a good job here.
Good job.No matter where we are, we must study all the way. As the proverb says that: You are never too old to learn. Thank you for your blog.
Fantastic blog! Very well written, I expect you to write more
My daughter used the “clothes line” idea for her escort cards, took polaroid pictures of her guests who then hung their pictures on the clothes line. It was very nice.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Really nice ideas
Love these! I have to say the fruit and the plants are my faves of the bunch, but it’s great to see so many unique ideas to fit anyone’s wedding theme!
