XP - escort card help

My venue requires each guest's escort card to indicate their meal choice so that the servers know who ordered each meal. An example that the coordinator showed was gluing a gemstone/bead to each card with a certain color corresponding to each meal choice.
 
I am printing the escort cards myself and they are white with a silver trim (got them at joanns). I need ideas for what to put on the cards. I don't have distinct theme but I guess "spring" would describe it. My centerpieces are going to be white hydrangeas in mason jars surrounded by votive candles and one white ceramic bird decoration. My colors are navy and light blue and white and also a little bit of gray.

My only idea I have is to find either a flower or bird stamp and buy 4 different color inks and stamp each card. 

Any other ideas? Thanks in advance :-)

FYI - there are 4 meal choices, including kid's meals so I need 4 different colors.

    Another way you can define the entree choices would be to perhaps place an underscore under the name, and depending on the style, it would dictate what they ate.  For example, people with a curved S-like line underneath their name would get the chicken, a S-line with 1 line through beef, 2 lines through salmon, and 4 lines would be vegetarian, or whatever the dishes are.

    ive seen alot of people use small little "diamonds" or gems and put 1 or 2 of them on depending on which entree.

    I like the gemstone or the ribbon idea.  You could do white for chicken, green for vegetarian, red for beef, and no stone for pasta... They have good sparkle and scream "oh hey, what is this on my place card and why doesn't it match the person next to me?"
