I was at a DC wedding venue the other day that was absolutely stunning but the wind on that particularly breezy day was blowing everything all over the place. It made me think about ways in which events need to be “wind-proofed” including little things like making sure that escort cards don’t fly away.

You can always use something as an alternative to paper escort cards, like a framed listing of table assignments or hand-polished rocks with names written on them, as examples. But if you really want to use the traditional paper cards, just be sure to display them securely. I love these two ideas.

In the first, cards are nestled in a lentil-lined serving tray to keep them from flying away. The second shows cards tucked into old window shutters. Both are fun and clever!
