Chic and Lovely Ideas: A Collection of Overseas Wedding Escort Cards ♩

Stylish Wedding Items: Escort Cards ♡

To all the brides-to-be out there, have you ever attended a wedding that featured "escort cards"? ♡

An escort card is an idea that originated from overseas weddings, serving to inform guests of their seating arrangement at the reception, similar to the seating charts in Japan.

They are placed in the reception or welcome area, allowing arriving guests to choose the escort card with their name on it. ♡

While escort cards are common overseas, they are still quite rare in Japan. That's why, if you incorporate them into your wedding, guests will likely be amazed and say, "I've never seen anything like this!" or "This is so stylish, just like overseas!" ♡

This time, we will introduce stylish escort card ideas from overseas brides. Not only the items but also the display ideas are simply wonderful. Please use these as a reference! ♩

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #1: Flower Seeds

Flower shops sell cute packaged flower seeds. Here’s an idea to attach printed craft paper with names clipped to the seed packets to create escort cards. Since the packets themselves are colorful and cute, a simple arrangement will work.

It would be lovely if guests could take them home and grow flowers from the seeds! ♡

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #2: Candles

Using candles, a staple item for weddings, as escort cards is a delightful idea. The refreshing blue candle holders look stylish.

As guests take one to their seats, there should be candles lit everywhere when the reception begins. If the lights are turned off upon entry, it will surely create a magical scene! ♡

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #3: Photos

Print two enlarged photos of the bride and groom, cut one into smaller rectangles. By attaching the cut card onto the other, you’ll have a stylish escort card and board. It serves as both escort cards and a welcome board, so it's a two-in-one solution! ♡

It would also be nice to have guests write messages on the piece with their names during the reception and return it when they leave… such a lovely idea! ♡

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #4: Whiskey

Here’s an idea to use stylish miniature bourbon whiskey bottles as escort cards. Each bottle has a simple name tag indicating the table number.

This is sure to delight guests who enjoy drinking. For those who don’t drink, you might want to choose stylish labels that can be displayed. ♡

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #5: Shots

Here’s another boozy idea for escort cards. "Take a shot and find your seat!" such a bold message! This must be a wedding for a lively couple who loves their drinks! ♡

While this might be difficult to incorporate into the reception, it could be a great idea for after-parties with friends who enjoy drinking. ♩

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #6: Letters

Turning letters into escort cards is such a charming idea. The display resembles that of a craft shop, which is stylish. ♡

Unlike the seating messages, guests can read these while waiting at the reception area, which is appealing. This simple yet thoughtful item may be the one guests appreciate the most.

Overseas Bride’s Escort Card Idea #7: Popcorn

This idea is like being in a movie theater! Using popcorn as escort cards generates excitement and anticipation before the movie starts. It’s a very American and chic idea! ♡

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #8: Seashells

Using seashells as escort cards ♩ All you need are seashells and gold pens and paint. Paint the outside of the seashell and write the text inside. ♡

If escort cards like these are prepared, guests will likely think, "This wedding is going to be different!"

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #9: Driftwood

Discovering very natural escort cards is a treat. This is an idea that uses driftwood or wood scraps as escort cards. Driftwood can be found at craft shops like Tokyu Hands! ♡

Overseas Bride's Escort Card Idea #10: Special Edition

Lastly, let me introduce an escort board instead of escort cards. It features a large blackboard with the names of the guests written for each table. ♡ Even brides who might find it hard to prepare individual items can replicate this idea!

If you decorate it with flowers or lights around it, it can serve as a photo booth as well! ♩
