10. Rustic Terracotta Pot Escort Card Display
Escort cards are essential for directing your guests to their assigned tables, but they do not have to be displayed on a boring, flat table. A rustic terracotta pot escort card display combines practical seating information with charming, living botanical favors that your guests can take home at the end of the night. This interactive display adds a lush, garden-fresh element to your reception entry space.
Purchase miniature terracotta pots and fill them with organic potting soil. Plant a small succulent, a dynamic air plant, or a fragrant kitchen herb, such as rosemary, thyme, or mint, into each pot. To create the escort cards, cut small, elegant flags from heavy kraft paper or cardstock. Write each guest’s name and assigned table number on a flag using a fine-point calligraphy pen. Glue the paper flags to wooden toothpicks or small bamboo skewers, and insert them gently into the soil of each potted plant. Arrange the pots alphabetically on a multi-tiered wooden ladder or a rustic table, creating a beautiful, lush green display.
