They don't look too hard. Some cinnamon sticks and a hot glue gun? Thank goodness for etsy, giving me all sorts of ideas.

You could totally do those! I made my escort cards and I will give you some hints...

I made text boxes in Word and copy and pasted until I had enough for all our guests. Then I typed the name and table number picking the font I wanted.
After I printed them I used a paper cutter to cut them out. Then I used my same paper cutter which you can slip in a scoring blade and scored the cards at their half way point. This made them SO much easier to fold! Play with the next box size before you make all of them to see what works. Then all you need to do is glue on the sticks! I love the idea- super cute!
