Benefits of using escort cards include giving guests more freedom and making sure that everyone feels comfortable in their own skin.

Place Cards

Place cards are used when there isn’t enough room for both a seating chart and escort cards, or when you want each guest to have an assigned seat within their table groupings so that everything is organized ahead of time for easy navigation during dinner service or speeches. Place cards let each guest know which seat is theirs so that there is no confusion as far as who goes where during mealtime or other events throughout the evening. Benefits of using place cards include making sure that everyone knows exactly where they should sit and eliminating any tension or awkwardness among unfamiliar people who might not know anyone else at the event outside their immediate family members or friends from college/work/etc..
