Unique Place Card Ideas

Many people don't know the difference between an escort card and a place card. An escort card. Escorts Cards are essentially cards with a guests name and table number printed. Once the guest knows what table they are seated at, Place Cards are then found at their appropriate seat. 

Place cards are not very common actually. Usually, only very formal or black tie events provide place cards and they literally dictate the place you will be sitting. The hosts have taken it upon themselves to place you at a seat at your assigned table. 

It's very important to match your place cards to your decor as you want them to blend in with your table setting. You can get very creative with your place cards, even making them your wedding favor. 

Here are some unique place card ideas that we love:

Our favorite Bridal Shower Gift ideas

Your bridal shower is a great opportunity for your close friends and family to share in the joy and happiness of your upcoming nuptials. It is customary for attending guests to bring a small gift, and unlike the traditional wedding registry, these presents can be more geared towards the bride’s individual needs rather than a joint gift for the couple. It can be difficult to know exactly what to give a bride-to-be, especially when considering the possibility of certain more risqué gifts being deemed inappropriate if the shower is attended by certain audiences, i.e. family or young children. Here is our list of favorite gift ideas:

1. Lingerie

2. Cook Book

3. Items that can be used during the upcoming Wedding 

4. Personalized jewelry

5. Personal photo of you and the bride in a frame

6. Relaxation materials: scented candles and magazine subscriptions, spa day voucher

7. Baking Equipment

8. Travel Accessories

9. Cosmetics

10. Personalized his and her items
