Escort cards and Table numbers

Hey I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of where to get escort cards and also table numbers.  I was thinking JoAnn, but I would like to do the numbers myself for the table numbers so I just want the tents.  Any suggestions??

    We made our escort cards with leftover paper from the invites.  We used the die-cuts at Anchor Paper to do them.  If that's not an option, then you could try any of the supply stores probably- Michael's, Jo-Anns, etc.  I know I've seen some, but you might not get a great selection of colors/designs.

    Because I loved them so much, here's our escort cards:

    I also just made ours with the leftovers from the invites.  You can get escort card tents pre-scored and with a computer template at office supply stores though.  My sister found some nice ones that matched her colors decently closely a while back.

    I made our escort cards from VP, they're folded business cards

    And our table numbers are our engagement pictures with numbers on them

    We just ordered our escort cards on Vistaprint - folded business cards - you could alwyas do just the free business card (not folded) and then mount them to left over paper as Steph did. I'm using frames and left over paper for my table numbers - then I have numbers I am cutting out on my cricut and putting on the front of them - that way I can sell them after the wedding and whomever wants them can remove the paper and change them to their colors etc.

    I'm using premium business cards off Vistaprint for escort cards, haven't quite decided on table numbers yet.

    This is exactly what we did.  I got the free business cards, but added a monogram for a couple of bucks and then used cardstock folded in half and put the business cards on there.  We just printed lables with peoples names on them and put them on the cards.

    For table numbers we also went the frame route and just printed off numbers placed them in the frame.

    We are using Paper Depot's die cut, it is super simple and very very cheap to buy the paper from them.

    I bought these cardstock tents from Paper Source for our table numbers and I love them. They probably are not the cheapest option out there, but they are a really great quality. I attached a 5x7" photo to each side of the tent.

    We made the escort cards ourselves with left over paper from our invites (seeing pattern?) We color coated them because we had different meal options.
    Purple = Chicken
    Silver = Pork Chop
    Pink = Veggie
    Black = Kids


    Our Table Numbers looked like this  (tented card stock)




    I would recommend going into Paper or Anchor Paper and looking at their samples. They have a ton of affordable options. :)
