Another creative idea for beach-themed escort cards is to use mini beach balls with each guest's name and table number written on them. These can also serve as fun favors for guests to take home and use during their next beach vacation. For a more elegant touch, consider using seashells with calligraphy writing for the escort cards. You can even personalize each one with a special message or quote for your guests. Whichever option you choose, these unique escort cards will add a special touch to your beach wedding and leave your guests with lasting memories of your special day.
