Pear Escort Cards

If any of you know me at all, I am a great lover of escort cards.  Escort cards let your guests know which table they are seated at, at your reception. 
The escort card table - the table that holds the escort cards - are a great way to show off your style, or maybe you would rather have your cards afixed to a tree, clothespinned to string, in their own envelope; the possiblilites are almost limitless.  The only rule is to have fun with it.

Escort Cards can also be great DIY projects.  In fact, the pear escort cards shown below double as escort "cards" and favors.  Besides, they are adorable!

To make your own, you will  need

• paper
• scissors
• 1/4" hole puncher
• fruit
• ribbon
• number stickers (Micheals.com)

1.  Go to TheKnot.com/diy and download their rectangular template.   Pick out paper and print as many tags as you'll need. 
2.  After cutting out all of the tags, handwrite a guest's name on each one.
3.  Punch a hole in each tag and attach it to a pear stem with a piece of pretty ribbon.
4.  Once you've assigned guests to their tables, pop a corresponding number sticker on each pear to help show guests to their seats.
