Place cards and escort cards do the quiet work of guiding guests to their seats — and done well, they add a personal, polished touch to every table. Here's how to use them alongside your seating chart and other signage.

Escort cards vs place cards

Escort cards tell guests which table (picked up at the entrance); place cards mark each specific seat. Many weddings use a seating chart plus place cards — the chart for the table, the card for the seat.

Personalize each one

A guest's name in beautiful lettering at their seat makes them feel personally welcomed. Add a small detail — a menu choice indicator or a thank-you note — for extra warmth.

Double as favors

A place card can pull double duty as a favor tag or be paired with a small gift, tying your table styling together and giving guests something to take home.

Match your suite

Coordinate the font and finish with your seating chart and welcome sign so every printed detail speaks the same design language.

Small cards, big polish

Place and escort cards guide guests and add a personal touch to every table. Coordinate them with your wedding signage suite for a seamless, styled reception.
