Escort Card names

Futuremrsk, on July 28, 2019 at 4:56 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
When writing out escort cards, do we just put peoples names, or add the Ms, Mr, Mrs. Dr, to them? So would it be John Smith or Mr. John Smith on the card, along with their table number?

    Either is fine, totally up to you. We decided not to do Mr/Ms/Mrs/Dr on the escort cards simply because we thought it would be easier for people to find their names if the card was less cluttered with an extra prefix..

    Thank you!! Not doing the Ms/Mr/Mrs/Dr makes more sense to me, I just wasnt sure what others have done. We have to have ours in alphabetical order for our venue so working on that this week before we head up for the wedding!

    Yeah same, we did ours in alphabetical order too! I liked the idea of having the prefixes on it to begin with just because I feel like it's a nice touch of formality, but... when I thought about people looking for their names (even in alphabetical order) and everyone's starts with M..... it's definitely going to add a few seconds to everyone's search. And "a few seconds" for each of 100 people adds up, lol. Just taking it off seemed more practical Smiley tongue

    Good luck!! Are you writing them out yourself?

    We just used names, no Mr./Mrs. Much easier and cleaner for alphabetizing them!

    Up to you, and formality. We just did names.
    If it was a super fancy, black tie event, I’d expect a title on there too.

    Since none of our guests have the same name we’re just using first names.

    I just finished writing mine, we used just first and last names to make them easier to find, and plan on laying them out by table number.
