Talis Bat Mitzvah Stationery Set - Cont.

My client recently added a second order to the talis bat mitzvah invitations I designed for her back in June. In a matter of hours, I quickly designed, printed, and assembled the escort cards and table markers for the dinner after her bat mitzvah ceremony.

Materials used:
- Card stock paper
- Printer and ink
- Aluminum ruler with safety lip
- Exacto knife
- Cutting mat
- Photo corners

Cutting out the escort cards


I used a template to make sure I placed the photo corners in the same spot on every escort card

When the escort cards were completed, it was easy to switch the table designation in and out to accommodate for last minute seat arrangement changes. Below are shots of the final escort cards and table markers.

What's the difference between an "escort card", a "table marker", and a "place marker/place card"? Maybe other people define them different ways, but this is how I think of them: an escort card is the card that tells you which table to go sit at - if it tells you a specific seat to sit at, or if it is placed at your place setting to tell you which seat at the table to sit at, then it's a place card. A table marker is the sign on the table that says "Table 1" (or whatever) to inform you which table you're looking at and whether it matches the table indicated on your escort card. For this event, I created escort cards and table markers - you usually won't have escort cards and place cards, but just one or the other.

Shameless plug time: Love my table markers and escort cards? Need invitations and stationery? Have an event coming up? Visit my website at InvitesbyAndrea.com or email me at andrea@invitesbyandrea.com for more information! I do weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, birthdays, anniversary parties, holidays - anything you might need custom stationery for!
