ceglare-
I know you were talking about doing a ribbon board for your escort cards at one point. Are you still planning on that, and how are you doing it?
Anyone else have really great ideas to display escort cards besides the standard tented cards set up on a table?

So instead we're going to buy a big sheet of corkboard and make a giant frame. I bought really pretty lavender fabric at Joann's that I'm going to cover it with, and FI and I made stick pins to hold the cards in place. We're making the frame out of white molding from a hardware store. It's actually pretty simple to do, you just have to make sure you don't make the board too big or too small.
[QUOTE]I like your second idea too. I also have seen it done where someone lists each table like butterfly suggested on one giant poster type thing on an easel. is that tacky because they wont have their own escort cards?

I hope not b/c this is what we are doing exactly :) Just with our wedding colors and gerbera daises.

Someone else on here is doing something similar to LADY's but with a re-purposed window... I forget who, but I always liked that idea, too.
I unforunately have run out of creativity, money, and giving a sh*t when it comes to escort cards, so we're just using the ones the venue provided and my FMIL will write them out for us.

This is pretty much what I told my mom so she said I already bought the frame I will do it. But our biggest pain in the as* is having to ship our photomat paper to our calligrapher to get it done. And once I get it back there is no more changing any tables around. Unless we just have her write the names out and then we do the numbers which might not be such a bad idea!!
LADY - How are you doing this? I'd love to hear. My original plan was to write each name out myself, but now I'm starting to think that I'm less crafty than I think I am.
Inspiration:
Ours (without the cards)

All of this exactly!! I could care less at this point about escort cards so we are just keeping them pretty simple. hahah
