Escort Cards

Quick question about escort cards. Originally we were just going to have the standard folded escort cards for each couple/social unit.  Now we have decided to use mini adirondack chairs which will hold our escort cards.  My question is that while these can technically be considered favors (they can hold a picture as well) do I need to do it for each person rather than each couple?

We are having separate small favors at each place setting as well so these little chairs are just a fun accent to our caribbean theme.  We are attaching little umbrellas to them too so once they are on the table they will (hopefully) look nice.

So, one for each person, or one per couple?  Thanks!

Re: Escort Cards

  • I think it's fine to stick with one per couple.  I don't think couples will be disappointed that they have to share their chair picture frame.
  • Dumb Question. Are escort cards per COUPLE or per PERSON? I was wondering that actually

    It can be either way.  We did ours per person and the kids all got a kick out of having their own.....plus it was one of the tasks FMIL volunteered for, so it wasn't twice as much work for <em>me</em>

  • One per couple/unit is fine. Like you pointed out, this is not the favor just an added bonus for guests. It sounds very fitting for the theme.

    It is fine to do one per person, or have one per couple. Some people use the individual place card approach to help identify what meal that guest will be having. They often just change the color of a gem or something to specify.

    Every wedding I've been to with a date or as a date, we got one card for the both of us. I don't think either is wrong or right, it's just what you prefer. Those chairs sound so cute!
