Escort card and seating chart displays are often an overlooked element of a wedding reception. If you’ve taken the time to agonize over a custom seating chart for your guests then the escort card display is something you’ll want to put some thought into! The escort card or seating chart display is the perfect time to showcase your personality or something special that you and your new spouse share in common. Or, perhaps the display simply ties into the wedding theme and design. Get creative and think outside of the box for this detail of your wedding reception. If you need a little inspiration to get your creative juices flowing, we’re sharing some of our favorite escort cards and seating chart displays from the last year!

2. Custom Seating Chart Vases:
This beautiful setup was featured in the 2019 Colorado Fall/Winter Magazine. Designed by Sweet Zion Paperie, this seating chart was displayed at a styled wedding shoot at The Broadmoor’s Cloud Camp.

We love an interactive escort card display, especially when it involves Moscow Mules! Guests can grab a drink to go. Sip and mingle while finding your seat. Choose a common staple for the drink or opt for you and your significant other’s go-to happy hour cocktail.

6. Sophisticated Lifesize Statement Seating Chart:
This lifesize seating chart is bold, sophisticated and makes one heck of a statement! We love the sleek, black color that was chosen for the background. It stands out. The candles and greenery add a nice elegant touch. Opt for a lifesize seating chart because, well, frankly they’re easier to read! Guests will be able to locate their name and seating assignment much quicker.
