One functional aspect of wedding decor that definitely shouldn't be overlooked is the escort card - and modern brides are definitely looking beyond the traditional folded cardstock to find ways to tie the escort card into the wedding's overall theme and decor. If you are doing long, farmhouse-style tables or picnic tables at your reception, you might not need escort cards - maybe a "sit where you like" sign is more your style. However, if you're doing traditional round 8-seat tables, escort cards that direct guests toward their table - denoted either with a number or a name - are a way to help guests avoid confusion and "where do I sit?" anxiety, especially for out-of-town guests or those who may not know many others at the wedding. Basically, escort cards keep your wedding reception from feeling like the cafeteria on the first day of middle school.
