Nearly every wedding requires some kind of escort system to direct guests to the tables. While the standard white tent cards are sufficient, they don't offer much creativity. These are great ideas for escort card ideas for winter weddings. They will make a lasting impression on your guests.
One of the most popular winter motifs is ScarletAmour. These can be used as the base for your crystal bridal jewelry or an accent on your wedding invites. They also make great escort cards. You can find wooden snowflakes that are plain or painted white at craft shops. With a metallic marker, write the names and tables numbers of each guest on the snowflakes. Hang them on a small tree near your reception. The snowflakes look great on a small Christmas tree if you're having a holiday-themed wedding. Make a Christmas tree using branches decorated with clear glass beads, crystal teardrops and other glittery accents for a Winter Wonderland-themed event.
You can use votive candles to make warm and inviting escort cards for winter weddings. You can either use pretty votive holders made of glass and write on them using a marker or attach a tag with information about each guest. The candle display will be safer if you place a small tealight inside. This will help keep the flames contained within the holder. You can ask someone to light them up at the last moment, right before guests arrive. To make it easy for guests to pick up the candles, you can arrange them in a long row of candles or in multiple rows with plenty of space between them. It's a beautiful entrance!
You can make escort cards in a traditional tent style, but you can also add a winter twist to them. For holiday cheer, tie a tartan bow at the top of each card. This is very easy to do with basic tent cards. Simply punch two holes at the top of each card, then run a piece of ribbon through them. Then, pull the tails out of the hole to make a bow. A shimmering silver ribbon can be substituted for the tartan to create a New Year's ceremony with lots of sparkling crystal jewelry, and a bridal gown with silver embroidery.
It's a great idea to hand out escort cards from your favorite winter treat such as gingerbread men, greeting your guests. Tie a small banner with each guest's name and table around the neck of the little guys. You can make the gingerbread men look like grooms and brides for even more fun! This tasty twist on the traditional Escort Card will delight your guests!
