    I remember seeing someone's beautiful escort card poster of a Chicago skyline.  Does anyone have a link? I cannot find it and need some inspiration.

     

    Thanks!

    I don't remember it, but I hope someone else does! We really want to incorporate the city in some aspect of our wedding (it will be in the city, where we live but only one other family member does) and I haven't found anything featuring Chicago except for vintage postcards. It seems New York and San Fran are the most commonly used.

    Here it is: I remembered it was in The Knot Chicago. http://weddings.theknot.com/Real-Weddings/50499/detailview.aspx?id=50499&type=3&wedding+details=Escort+Cards&Sort=KnotPicks

    If you can't find a real poster you like, maybe you could find a hi-res image and have it printed poster size at WalMart/Kinkos/somewhere?

    any luck with the instructions? it drives me nuts that they throw up "ideas" on these websites with no "how-to's!" i am just afraid that if i wing it, it will be a huge mess.

    Hi,

    Did anyone figure out how the cards were stuck to the poster so they wouldn't fall off?  I am getting close to my deadline and cannot find this anywhere please help!
