One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is discovering all the details that our brides and grooms have come up with to make their wedding unique! Our couples spend months, often over a year, planning their big day and choosing all the little things that will come together to create their dream wedding. Jay and I just love seeing it all come together! When we arrive at the wedding venue, one of us always make a beeline for the escort card table because, most of the time, our brides and grooms are so busy enjoying their day with their friends and family that they don’t even get to see the untouched reception details! So much time and effort goes into all the little things, so we do our best to capture them all so that years from now our couples can look back at their images and be reminded of all the special details of their day. If you’re planning a sit-down dinner for your wedding reception, escort cards are the first items your guests will come across as soon as they arrive. Why not make them pretty? I’ve been collecting Wedding Escort Card Ideas for a couple of years now and it’s finally time for me to share them with you! Here’s all the inspiration you’ll need to get you started!
