I checked Bridalbook and Martha Stewart Weddings which are my go-to websites for wedding ideas. During the process I have learned that aside from the traditional folded paper, escort cards can be a fruit, a chocolate bar, an old cassette tape or an origami - concepts are endless depending on the couples creativity and craftsmanship. But since we are aiming for a traditional and classic wedding reception, I opted for a crosswise folded card to be my template. I used Publisher to layout the designs (a purple damask border and our monogram in turquoise) and the names of the guests. I had them printed on a plain white brief card which is thick enough to stand on its own.
Here are the finished products:
 |
| We glued a bow and a crystal for added design. |
 |
| Male escort cards have turquoise ribbons. |
 |
| Purple ribbons for female and family guests |
 |
| The card itself is a folded one fourth crosswise of an A4 size paper. What I like about Microsoft Publisher is that you can make a custom template depending on the dimensions you want. |
 |
| Our monogram was incorporated for a personal touch. |
 |
| For a little contrast, we used an opposite colored crystal to accentuate the bows |
