take a seat

Another installment of Marriage Mondays here...

I'm not quite at the step of figuring out seating and table placement for my wedding, since I do have to get all the response cards back first (actually that would mean I would have had to send out the invites too).  But, I have been brainstorming escort card ideas and how I can direct my guests to the correct table.

There are SO many cute ideas out there- creative ones I would have never dreamed of.  These are just a few of my favorites

apples

I've seen this fruit idea alot, but I still think its great- perfect for a fall wedding 

 Pomegranates

Pears

Having a theme wedding- how about this BBQ rub idea

Or do you and your fiance really love candy- these lolly pops are adorable

Individual pomanders are perfect anytime of year

These fabric dot cards are too cute

Having a summer beach wedding?  How about a tray full of sand to show off your beach chair escort cards

Love wine?  These cork escorts are a perfect match for the wine table numbers I posted about HERE

Are you a reader?  How about creating a card catalog of escort cards

Another bookworm idea...

Cover books in a matching fabric or paper to your wedding colors and print each guests name on the spine.  A bookmark or bookplate inside the book can direct them to the right table

And maybe my favorite idea for a city wedding- these taxis have direction cards to point your guest in the right direction- LOVE!

    What great ideas! Love the apples placecards for a fall wedding. We went to a fall wedding where they used the miniature white pumpkins with brown and green ribbons featuring guests' names. Very pretty.

    Love the book idea! My oh my these all seem like a lot of work, though. I guess that's part of the joy of planning a wedding.

    I'd love to plan my wedding all over again. It's been 6 years and the styles have changed so much in weddings. These cards are just beautiful. I can't wait to see what you do.

    The books are over the top, the pomegranates are lovely, but I think the corks are my favorite for their simplicity. Weddings have come a long way since my big day 13 years ago! Have fun deciding!

    I love those little apples and pomegranates! We did something similar but used Taffy Apples wrapped in clear plastic bags with a twine bow and handmade place cards. So perfect for fall!

    Oh my gosh - those little beach chairs with the tiny umbrellas are my favorite!!!!! They're so cute!

    You know, I was the only one who thought a seating chart was important, but I put it off (because of RSVP's and last minute additions), and then I just didn't have time to do it. It all ended up okay, although I missed having something kind of cute to do.

    The book idea is lovely! It would be really neat too if each book was then the favor for that couple... maybe a selection of favorite love stories? Or perhaps a Jane Austen wedding-- that would be really fabulous!

    so many cute ideas! apples are actually more expensive than i thought. I used them for a photoshoot and was amazing how much they took out of our staging budget (we had a ton)

    I love these ideas! My friend hung hers on a string across a mantle... it was really cute, it looked sort of like bunting.
