The Best Advice on Handling Your Trickiest Dilemmas
I’m
confused. What is the difference between an escort card, a place card, and a
table card?
Great question! The escort card
is often mistakenly referred to as a place card, but the two are quite
different. The escort card informs guests of the table at which they will be
sitting and has their names and the table number on it. These cards are usually
placed alphabetically on a table near the reception entrance so guests can
easily find their spots. The place cards are already on the dinner tables and
situated at a place setting to indicate where each guest is to sit. Used more
frequently at formal weddings, these are optional for informal weddings. The
table card is a prominently displayed sign on each reception table that bears
its number.
We're
getting married in April 2015. Is it acceptable to send out wedding invitations
by e-mail?
Although it may be tempting to
do, wedding invitations should be sent the traditional way. After all, with
e-mails inundating computers and Smartphones today, an invitation received
through the mail is considered very special—and also a good way to set the tone
for your wedding.
Where
should we place our favors? We’re giving our guests bottles of wine, and we’re
not sure whether to put them on the reception tables or display all of them on
their own.
It’s up to the two of you to
decide which presentation appeals to you most. You can put a bottle at each
guest’s place setting on the reception tables, or all the bottles can be
beautifully displayed for guests as they leave. Just be sure that someone
monitors the table, so people don’t take more than one!
