"Find Your Party Animal" escort card

Keri, on September 2, 2019 at 12:54 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 10

I've been trying to add more personal/funny touches to reflect our personalities. I saw this idea for escort cards, and think it is cute/funny. I'm assuming I could spray paint ones from the dollar store and glue on flat escort cards. Not sure how study they will be. Seriously contemplating testing a few out tomorrow. Thoughts? Too much work? We are less than 60 days out now!

    How many guests do you have (that'll really determine how feasible this is).

    Also, as a tip, try to get some spray paint with primer included. If you can't find any get some fine or extra fine (120+ grit) sandpaper to at least cut some of the sheen off the animals, otherwise they'll crack or dry weird. We did a few test runs for our wedding and got this tip from Pinterest and it worked so well. T-Rexs were a running joke at my wedding. We spray painted a bunch of them rose-gold and hid them throughout the reception (in succulent arrangement, tucked behind the bar, in the bathroom arrangements, etc.).


    Good luck!

    Thanks for the tip. Would have never thought about using sand paper.

    We invited 180, expecting around 140. Majority are couples, but that would still mean around 70 or so animals. I just love the idea, but can see how it might be a huge time consumer.

    I found a store on Etsy that makes these. She added a picture holder so that I used them for my table number/sign holders. They were pretty sturdy.

    I think is a cute idea if it actually matches your theme. If I see this I’ll personally think there’ll be something more related to animals for your decor unless you’re an animal lover that everyone knows this. On the other end I’ll make sure to use animals that don’t offend people. Animals like rats, snake, insects are the ones that come to mind. You’ll have to analyze what animal you pick for couples as you’re stating “find your party animal” so in a way you’re describing them. I’m not sure if that makes sense but I’ll try to avoid offending people. The idea itself is really cute.

    I love this idea! Hopefully people play around and “connect” with their animals haha I also agree with getting a spray paint with primer or sanding down the animals so the spray will stick! Good luck!

    We were considering buying magnetic place holders in the shape of golden animals from Etsy. However, the cost was more than we were looking to spend. We ended up purchasing escort cards with animal cut-outs instead (as entree designations for the caterer). Spray painting the figurines yourselves is a great idea!
