Leaves
Jean and Michael carried a leafy theme throughout all aspects of their wedding day, from the leaf-print invitations to the tea leaf favors. Appropriately, they used leaf-shaped escort cards and strung them above a collection of bamboo, moss, and rocks. See more from this wedding.

Music-Inspired
Since Carmen and Pete are both huge Beatles fans, they incorporated the love of the music in their wedding day. Each table was named after a Beatles album, and guests picked up personalized cassettes to find their tables. See more from this wedding.

Airline Wings
Emily and Scott's romance all started in transit — they met and fell in love on a Southwest Airlines flight. And a few years later, Scott popped the question on another Southwest Airlines flight! Tying into their history together, their wedding day included a travel theme. The escort cards were shaped like flight attendant airline wings. See more from this wedding.

Mason Jars
For Jessica and Jason, it was important to honor and respect the environment throughout their wedding day. They repurposed antique glass jars as their escort cards, which also doubled as simple, chic lanterns. Guests found their seating cards tied with twine to Ball jars holding soy candles and birdseeds.

Photo Strips
Dana and Whitaker's beautiful wedding inside a botanical garden took full advantage of the gorgeous setting. Since they planned to have a photo booth at the reception, Dana and Whitaker snapped some fun shots and create photo strips to use as escort cards, which were hung from a tree at the reception entrance.

Hubcaps
Alex and Rich wanted their quirky, fun-loving personalities to shine throughout their wedding day —which included vintage cars, an inflatable bouncy house, and roller skates. Since each table was named after a type of vintage car, the couple displayed their escort cards on hubcaps. See more from this wedding.

Floral Inspiration
Bonny and Dave wanted their wedding to be anything but ordinary. They found the perfect location in Cornerstone Gardens, a nine-acre property filled with a series of eclectic gardens. Their escort cards fit in perfectly with the garden theme — each was displayed on a vase of white ranunculus and ivy. See more from this wedding.

Harry Potter Wands
Christine and Andy met online through a post about Harry Potter news, so it seemed only natural for their wedding to be influenced by the series. They used magic wands for their escort cards, placed around the Sorting Hat, which sorted guests into their house tables! See more from this wedding.
