Escort card help please

We are planning to give two favors. I love sweets and my fiancee loves savory so we are doing olive oil for his pick and mini bundt cakes for mine. Both with a nod to his Greek heritage.

We plan to include the olive oil with the escort card. However how do we set up the escort cards? We planned for each adult guest to get a small bottle but not children. Do we have the cards filled out for each person? If so, how do we include the kids? Do we fill it out per couple and family? If so we would need to place the couple’s two bottles packaged together I assume. Then some will be packaged and some won’t for the guests who did not bring someone.
Any suggestions please?

I think the easiest solution would be to switch the favors- include the Bundt cake in the escort cards, since every person will be receiving one. Then you can place the bottles of olive oil at the adults’ seats. That would cause the least amount of confusion for everyone.

Agreed with PP. I also made an escort card for everyone (kids included). From there plan out your tables and have the number of olive oil bottles correspond with the number of adults at each table.

I would just give something different to the kids. Ideally something else that's close to the same size as the olive oil. Maybe bubbles? A tiny jar of M&M's? A handful of crayons tied together?

I agree with the previous comments - either give a different favor to the kids (I love the bubbles idea!), or just use the bundt cakes with the escort cards and have the olive oil bottles already at the tables.
