"Various Design Patterns for Communicating Seating Arrangements: A Guide to Creating Escort Cards"

Increasing Number of Brides Creating Escort Cards♡

More brides are preparing "escort cards" to make it easier for guests who come to the wedding to find their seats quickly♡

Originally, escort cards are a standard item in countries with a strong party culture.

It’s so cute and admirable to see a lineup of cards like this at the entrance...♡

Overseas, the classic is a bi-fold card type like this.

And what we want to focus on is the design of the escort card that conveys "where is your seat" ♡

Surprisingly, it can be quite challenging to make it stylish without coming off too formal.

I’ll introduce some lovely examples that were posted on Instagram, so please use them as a reference＊

Here’s How to Illustrate the Seat on Your Escort Card♡

＜1＞

"your table is.. XX" is a classic phrase when creating escort cards.

It clearly shows that the tables are arranged in a 4×3 format and that the names of the bride and groom are written where the high table is.

Having many squares arranged, with one colored in, is easy to understand and cute.

＜2＞

This is a layout type where there are many long tables.

＜3＞

An alphabet inside a circle ♡

The venue is long and narrow, but the card is oriented vertically. It's stylish with eyelets holding it together, giving it a chic look ♡

＜4＞

Informing guests of the exact position of their seats is kind!

＜5＞

This idea has both front and back, making it easy to understand "which table" and "which seat" with just one card＊

＜6＞

Using a gold POSCA pen for circles and checks.

＜7＞

An escort card layout where round tables are placed around long tables ♡

＜8＞

A two-tone design in white and a theme color is stylish ♡

＜9＞

Expressing the entrance door with "Entry".
