Weddingbee boards
I loved my escort cards! I used small twigs taken from a pruning of a pear tree my uncle did over the winter. My escort cards were 'tag' style with a ribbon bow, and I cut a slit in 4 inch twigs.
I displayed them on a piece of foam that I covered with moss.I don't have my professional pictures yet, so this is all I can show you, but I hope it helps!
(please cite me if you share the photo. thanks!)

i am doing bud vases with a rose in them with a tag on the vase saying the persons name and what table they are at.
latte and equine! great ideas. I am inspired.
Keep em coming bees!
I am doing a ribbon board (actually saw it profiled on Weddingbee) I've attached a pic. It was a great idea for me because my dad works in the garment industry and sells ribbon so it was easy for me to get what I needed.

@nypabride love the ribbon board! Are you doing it in pink or using another color?
My wedding colors are pink and green and my flowers are Gerber Daisies so I used different shades/patterns of pink and green ribbon. The best suggestion I can make if you try to do this yourself is to try to use a board that is colored (I found pink foam board) that way if your ribbon isnt perfect, there is color behind it.
GGSB those are adorable :)
They won't work with my favors/theme but I LOVE them!
I am getting so inspired! I think I might attempt a ribbon board! But I may not be crafty enough. The jam is so cute too!
I did starfish escort cards:
And the place cards were wrapped around my menus:
Apparently those pics didn't work, here's links:

lisalulu - it's really not that hard. get foam board from any craft store. (you will need 2 pieces for each board - 1 for front and 1 for back). measure ribbon out to size of board make sure you are able to pull it tight enough to cover the board but still have room to glue it on the back. line ribbon up in the order you want it. I found if you lay it out on one board and then glue on the other its easier. use hot glue gun to glue ribbon on board. when all the ribbon is glue on the board, use the 2nd board to glue on the back to help hold the ribbon down and hide the mess on the back.
the project is def easier if you have a friend to help. my mom was my helper and she used to sell crafts for a living so she was a little bit of a perfectionist, but honestly, it really wasn't that hard.
Our wedding is in Dec and so we are haning our escort cards on a mini christmas tree. Our place card are actually going to be snowflake shaped and they will be hung on the water goblets like they are in mid fall.
I got the idea from this picture I saw where they used butterflies.

@nypa bride - I saw this idea on the martha stewart board and decided to go for it!
But thanks for the idea of the foam board I think that will work a lot better than her idea of particle board and a lot lighter!
We did river stones for our escort cards. I wrote on them with a white paint pen. Pretty simple!

@ ggsb: What a great way to combine both the favors and the seating cards! That is such a great favor too!
I love the idea of combining the guest book with the seating chart so I've been using this post from Mrs. Pineapple as inspiration: http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/12/04/graphic-design-wedding/
The same lady who designed our table cards will be doing our seating chart after we finish the guest list. She is going to put it on a CD and we will have it turned into a large poster at Kinkos. For the escort cards, we are putting our names and date of the wedding on one side of a votive candle and the guest's name on the other side. We got the votive wraps from Jo-Ann fabrics. But there is a lady on Etsy.com who will do them for you, we just don't have the money to have them professionally done.
