place / escort cards from walmart stationary?

Hi Ladies

I am looking at the walmart stationary store to get my escort cards for the reception. However, the only option to search under is place cards - I know they are technically different (place cards at the table, escort cards to tell you what table). And I can't tell if they are the ones that fold in half so you can prop them up or if they are flat cards. (I didn't even think that was a thing, but now i'm worried because I don't see them specifically say that they fold.

FWIW, here's a link to two of the one's i'm considering.

has anyone had any experience with ordering place cards from walmart?

TIA!

From the specs, it appears they are flat, which I've seen at weddings. They don't need to be tented unless you like that look.

I've never seen flat escort cards - is that normal? Is this something I am way overthinking?? LOL

thanks!

A little bit.

From a stationary view they are the same thing.  I actually used the same cards as RSVPs, escort cards, and thank you notes.  The tented is much more convenient.  If you use the flat cards you will need a way to prop them up so people can see them easier.  I was a one wedding where they put them in mini picture frames that doubled as a favor.

Thanks! I will find some tented ones- easier than finding ways to prop them!

I ordered folded business cards from vistaprint and will be handwriting names and numbers on them. I just changed all the wording from a "legal" business card and filled them in with our info. They stand up perfectly and were pretty inexpensive (although I'll be left with about 100+ extra! since 250 was the smallest quantity I could buy!) My FI is a movie buff, and we go to the movies all the time, so we have few movie inspired things at the reception-- table numbers, escort cards, cake topper, and guest book.
