Escort cards, how to write them?

Carrie, on October 27, 2019 at 6:35 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
We are doing escort cards for our guests. But I'm at a loss for how to plan it out. Couples on a single card or they each get their own? How do we do families? Parents get a card and its assumed their children sit with them, or should we make individual cards for the kids as well?

    We gave every guest their own card. We assigned tables so guests could use the cards to mark their seats rather than having others playing the guessing game of how many other people are in their party?
    Plus I think it makes everyone feel a little special to have their own cards!

    We did individual cards for everyone because we had to indicate meal choice.

    Everyone gets their own individual card. Also I highly suggest a separate table for kids if you can because parents usually love that and the kids enjoy being around others their age. Happy planning!

    Married couples typically go on one card (unless you need to indicate meal choice). Children can go on their own card or you can have "The Smith Family" on a card if you'd like and they are at the same table.

    I have the kids sitting with their parents for dinner but also have a separate "activity" table in the back (away from the bar and the doors) so the kids can play card games, color, or just hang out and not be stuck with boring grown up talk.

    We don't need to indicate meals thankfully. We just weren't sure what was normal for families and such. Thank you for the advice ladies!

    We put one name per escort card. It's nice for each individual to have a card and put it at their place setting Also, our venue required us to identify meal choice - so we had to have cards.
