DIY Wedding Project: Escort Cards to Match Your Wedding Theme

 

If you're looking for a fun craft project for your wedding, making your own escort cards can be a great option. This is a project that will let your creative side run wild, but it is also a "safe" DIY project, as opposed to larger jobs like making your own wedding cake or bridal gown. Custom escort cards are another great way to incorporate your wedding theme into your reception. Get inspired by these creative DIY wedding escort card ideas.

Brides find a variety of ways to bring their wedding themes to life, and creating one-of-a-kind escort cards is an excellent addition to your list. Assume you're planning a beach wedding. You'll walk down the aisle to the sounds of a steel drum band, and your bridesmaids will be decked out in crystal starfish bridesmaid jewelry. The ideal escort cards to greet your guests as they enter your reception should keep the beach theme going. Writing names and table numbers on sand dollars and nestling them in a bed of sand in a shallow box is a simple project. It couldn't be easier, but it will really complement your beach theme in a way that plain white tent cards will never be able to.

Nautical themes are always popular for weddings and make excellent DIY escort cards. Making little nautical flags with each guest's name on them is a very festive idea. It would look great to use a variety of patterned fabrics with designs such as stripes, stars, anchors, and so on. Clip each "flag" to a heavy piece of rope that is hung between two trees or in a corner of the reception room. Flag bunting will add a festive nautical detail to your reception venue, and your guests will be impressed by your inventiveness.

Are you planning a garden wedding?

 There are some delightful Mersin Escort card ideas in your wedding theme. Planting flowers in tiny glazed ceramic pots to use as table cards is a very cute idea. There are a few options for adding the names and table numbers. One method is to write the names on metal garden stakes that are used to label plants in a garden. Another option is to write names on paper or fabric leaves and adhere them to the pots. A third option is to use chalkboard paint to paint the ceramic pots and then write directly on them with chalk. Select a plant that complements the overall theme of your wedding. Herbs, pansies, and succulents are all good choices.

Weddings with an autumn leaf theme are very popular in the fall. This is the ideal theme for your wedding if it includes bridesmaids in orange dresses wearing crystal leaf bridesmaid jewelry, a falling leaf design wedding cake, and a flower girl tossing leaves instead of petals. A fantastic DIY escort card project for a fall leaf wedding is to make a tree out of Manzanita branches to hang in the reception space's entryway. Suspend leaves with the names and table numbers from it. Paper leaves, wooden laser cut leaf shapes, fabric leaves, or real preserved oak leaves can all be used. Your table card tree will greet your guests as they arrive for your autumn wedding.

There are a plethora of other fantastic DIY escort card project ideas. For the whimsical wedding, there are pinwheels or crocheted flowers, smooth river rocks for the earthy Zen reception, and origami cranes for an East-meets-West celebration. Everyone will adore your one-of-a-kind wedding escort cards, regardless of design.
