Place cards and Escort Cards
The difference?! Place cards are the handwritten names you place at each seat. Escort cards are the handwritten names AND table assignments you place at a table or wall to direct guests to their table. Both are small elements with beautiful impact on your event’s aesthetic and guest experience.
What seating card calligraphy accomplishes
First impressions: A carefully lettered place card signals attention to detail and elevates the entire table setting.
Way-finding: Clear, legible calligraphy helps guests find seats quickly while maintaining beauty.
Keepsake value: High-quality hand-lettered cards often become mementos guests end up taking home!
Cohesion: Style, ink color, and material choice tie place cards into the overall design of the wedding or event.
Styles and aesthetics
I offer a tremendous variety of writing styles. If you don’t see something you like on my writing styles page, I can create one for you.
Formal calligraphy: Elegant, flowing strokes, high contrast between thick and thin lines. Ideal for dressy events and classic weddings. Try my Tiffany, Milly , or Logan styles.
Modern calligraphy: Looser letterforms, variable baselines, playful; pairs well with contemporary designs. Try my Jen, Jo, or Madison styles.
Brush calligraphy: Bold, textured strokes from a brush pen or paintbrush; works well for casual events. Try my Jen style and ask for it done in brush pen writing.
Pointed-pen casual: A middle ground: pointed nib but with relaxed structure for legibility and refinement. Try my Jen or Madison styles.
All-caps or sans-serif hand-lettering: Crisp and minimal, good for modern or gender-neutral aesthetics; can be mixed with script for names vs. table numbers. Available upon request in either pointed pen or brush pen.
Monoline script: Uniform stroke weight, clean and modern, suitable when ease of reading is a priority. Try my Jen style and ask for brush pen or paint pen.
