It’s not just another table to be seen, each and every guest has to stop here to find out where to go next. The escort card itself doesn’t have to just be a piece of paper that people throw away- it could be something more creative that doubles as your favor or serve a more functional purpose (think cards on top of champagne glasses for a toast or little potted succulents guests get to keep).
