Escort Tiles

I love everything about escort cards. As a guest, I enjoy finding my name and feeling like I "belong." I also appreciate the thought put into reserving me a seat at a table. As a bride/wedding planner, I love being able to add a little bit more organization to the party. Plus, it's another fun way to keep your theme alive. Anything goes when it comes to escort cards!

You can keep 'em simple and traditional, which I think is always beautiful:

Or, get all sorts of creative:

The escort card possibilities are endless!

In our case, I think this is a perfect opportunity to add some more talavera to our wedding. Several months ago, I bookmarked this image I came across on WeddingbeePRO. I fell in love with these hand painted tiles by Laura Hooper Calligraphy:

Hmm...now if we can only get our hands on 200+ small talavera tiles. Getting our talavera vases was enough of a challenge, and we def don't want to bother family in Mexico anymore. In an effort to bring this idea to life, Mr. Tortolito and I are taking a day trip to Tijuana and Rosarito this weekend. We are on the hunt for some local, hopefully inexpensive, talavera...and maybe pick up some Mexican goodies and food while we're there (lobster in Puerto Nuevo, anyone? Heck yea!)

What do you think? Are you providing escort card for your guests?
