Escort card questions

Marina, on February 4, 2020 at 7:43 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
I think I'm over thinking this but have some escort card questions! We're assigning tables, not seats. We're also doing buffet so no meal requirements needed.


Can we do one escort card per couple (married or not) or should it still be person? I would like to make it easy as possible and alphabetize, if it's per couple would the easiest way be to alphabetize by the first persons name?

Thank you!

    You can do escort cards for couples, I would do it by last name to keep it easiest since then they wouldn't know which first name would go first.

    For this situation it's also just easy to do a seating chart and forego escort cards since you are only assigning a table but up to you!

    I’m doing escort cards by table but will still be doing one per person rather than per couple.

    I would do last name instead of first because that's more common. The traditional etiquette is that married couples can go on the same card but unmarried individuals should have their own. However, I doubt any of your guests would be furious you put them and their SO on the same card if unmarried.

    I would just do them for each individual. What will you do for couples with different last names?

    Thank you! And just organize them by whoever's last name is first?

    I was going to list both if they have different last names - "Martha Smith and John Thomas"

    We did one for each individual so that they could each claim their seats at the table rather than have guests try to guess what seats were available still if the couple was up mingling
