I voted wrong because I answered the question you asked in your post, not the one at the top of the poll. oops. Rephrase on the poll maybe?
I voted no and meant yes.
we did one per couple. i did diy and made paper flowers for each card, they took forever, i wanted to do the least amount possible.
I was going to do my escort cards so that they're one per person, but that is just because we are going to add a component to the escort cards that notify our servers what meal they selected for dinner. Logistically, it wouldn't be possible to do that if we made the escort cards one per couple.
It's not tacky to do otherwise but I am personally doing one per person. I'm not doing anything elaborate though.
I've only ever seen one per couple unless, in the case of a head table, the couple is not being seated together. Especially maried couples will be Mr. and Mrs.
I'm going individuals. We have a lot of long term, unmarried friends. I think it would be weird to put two names down and have them guess whose name the card is filed under. The only time I would go couples is if it's a plus one, and I didn't know their name. Like "Matt Smith and Guest".
I've never heard of doing one per couple- we're using our cards to indicate meal choice as well, so it wouldn't really be possible.
When I use escort cards at all, which is rare, I use them because I want particular gentlemen to "escort" particular ladies to the table. This is the formal protocol that escort cards are designed for, and you usually see it only at true white-tie affairs like consular dinners. The gentleman's name goes on the outside of the envelope, the lady's name goes on the inside of the envelope, the envelope is handed to the gentleman by the butler or footman when he arrives, and if he doesn't know the lady then the gentleman immediately seeks an introduction to her. And yes, that really does happen at that kind of affair so no, there's nothing "tacky" at all about doing one escort card per couple. Place cards, of course, are done one-per-guest and are sitting on the table when the guests arrive.
I've never seen escort cards used in that "proper" fashion at a wedding: usually they are used to indicate to arriving guests what their table number is. But since formal protocol would dictate one per couple, you shouldn't feel obligated to do more than that.
I've seen it both ways.
We're doing one per person because our guests are selecting their meal.

Is it okay to do one escort card per couple? (Single guests would still get their own).
EDIT: We are having a stations dinner menu so meal choice isn't an issue.
