Paint your eggs with chalkboard paint, let dry, write names and table assignments (for escort cards, or just name for place cards) and voila!  You're done.  Simple, easy, and super cute.

These would also be really cute for a farm wedding!

Chalkboard eggs are also just a fun way to decorate your eggs for easter, and let your kids (or the kid in you) draw and decorate on them.  How cute are these!?

{A Lovely Roundup} Unique Escort Card Ideas

Escort cards are what tell your guests where they are to sit at your reception, but they can serve a much bigger purpose.  They can be a great place to tie in your wedding theme, decor, monogram, or color palette.  Gone are the sad little folded escort cards laid out on a plain table.  These escort cards put a more unique spin on seat assignments!

Real Wedding: Palos Verdes, CA

The beautiful wedding took place on a rare rainy Southern California! Despite the rain, it was a beautiful day with a soft, sophisticated look.

The printed materials we done in grey ink on hydrangea blue paper featuring our Carpenter script. We created escort cards, table signs, menus and a special "thank you" sign for the couple!

The tables were truly stunning!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Real Wedding: Houston, Texas

Last August we featured a blog post on our first world map that was created for a couple soon-to-be-wed in Houston, Texas. We are so pleased to have received photos of the wedding from their photographer, Clint, and to see that the wedding was included in The Knot Texas!

In our original post we mentioned that we also created table signs featuring the locations of the map and are so exciting to share them today!

The couple also used compass place cards to keep in line with the travel theme...

...and had us create this adorable card box and sign for their gift table!

Finally were the cupcake signs at the dessert table - very sweet!

All calligraphy was done in brown ink in our Carpenter script (except the gift sign which was white ink on brown paper).

In the Press: Lake Como, Italy

This wedding that took place last July at Lake Como, Italy is nothing short of beautiful. The venue and view are breathtaking, and the couple is so adorable - they even brought their dog along! We are so pleased to have been a part of this collaboration.

You can see the full spread on InsideWeddings.com or Style Me Pretty, but here are some of the amazing shots by photographer extraordinaire Corbin Gurkin.

We created a map (of course!) for the destination wedding, which was used on totes...

In addition we made programs, small reserved signs, escort cards, table cards and menus with place card belly bands.

And here are some pictures of the venue and happy couple just because they are so lovely!

Bellissima!
