Escort or Seating Cards


















Confusion always reigns trying to get the wedding or event guest seated at their appropriate tables. The use of an Escort or Seating Card is a great way to handle the process.

We provided the seating cards for the recent Arizona State ABC Meeting. This meeting was sponsored by Kim Horn, "Professional Bridal Consultant" (tm) the ABC State Coordinator for Arizona and Nevada. Kim, who is also the President of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide: http://www.bridalsourceguide.com/ , allowed Uncommon Invites to provide the seating cards for this event.
The 2nd photo shows the table of seating cards, the 1st photo shows that the guest took their card to their table to use it as their place card. The photos were graciously provided by http://www.photographicpassion.com/
These cards were printed on solar white, had the corners rounded off, then mounted onto a crisp, black tented card. Using 2 colors in this fashion really makes the cards stand out. For extra style we added black Midori ribbon tied with a knot.

The price for these cards, with the Guest name and Table assignment as shown would be only $2.75 per card. Think of these for your upcoming weddings & other events. We can provide a 5 business day turnaround on these types of cards.

To all Wedding Professionals!


I received this quote recently from Tony DeLisi, who is a Master Bridal Consultant in the Association of Bridal Consultants organization - aka - ABC, and the owner of Memorable Events! Toni is also the ABC State Coordinator from New Jersey, and tomorrow she is co-hosting the NE ABC Regional Conference with Lois Pearce, who is also a Master Bridal Consultant, the owner of "Beautiful Occasions" and the ABC State Coordinator for Connecticut.


Now, more than ever with the tight economy, I thought it would be appropriate to share this with you. We all get jaded about weddings, and sometimes I see in the eyes of folks at our Oregon ABC monthly meetings - that lack of spark that we need to convey to our brides. It isn't that we don't care, but we can loose sight of what drives our business.


The author of the quote was unknown to Toni - but I hope that if you need it, it can give you a reminder jolt! Otherwise, it is just a great reminder of why we do what we do!


It is titled - "Because"


Because the Bride has a need, we have a job to do.

Because the Bride has a choice, we must be the better choice.

Because the Bride has sensibilities, we must be considerate.

Because the Bride has urgency, we must be quick.

Because the Bride is unique, we must be flexible.

Because the Bride has high expectations, we must excel.

Because the Bride has influence, we have the hope of future Brides.

Because of the Bride, we exist!
