Inspiration: Escort Cards

Escort Card Board
Miniature envelopes holding stamped table assignments were pinned to a fabric-covered board propped on an easel and displayed on the lawn.

 
 
How to DIY:
Wrap a foam board with fabric, securing the edges with masking tape.

Using rubber number stamps and colored ink, press your table numbers onto their respective escort cards.


Place the escort cards in their corresponding envelopes, and attach them evenly to board with ball pins.

The leaves of a four-leaf clover are said to stand for hope, faith, love, and luck - a fitting sentiment for a St. Patrick's Day Wedding.

Wish Upon A Wedding NJ Chapter Launch Party

This post is long overdue...better later than never...

Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization that provides weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. Often, couples facing such situations do not have the energy, time, money, or resources needed to plan their wedding. Our organization takes care of all the details, offering couples a chance to relax and enjoy a very special day while surrounded by the love of their closest family and friends.

I wanted to share a few pictures from the launch party that took place at The Florentine Gardens back in January for this wondeful organization. We at For Your Event Planning and NJ Candy Buffets were delighted to be a part of this day along with many of the top notch and dedicated wedding and event professionals in the area.
