Oh, the Cuteness (a.k.a. "A Story of Escort Cards")

In earlier posts, I lamented my inability to make a decision about escort cards. I knew I wanted them, in fact felt strongly that I needed to have them. I even found a lot of designs that I liked. Maybe even a few that I loved. But I couldn't land on a final design. I got momentarily inspired and excited by a new-found design, only to quickly lose steam once it came time to actually design them.

And then, while searching wedding favor stores for completely unrelated items, I found my solution. The skies parted, sun shone through and a choir of angels heralded the arrival of a perfect solution! OK, admittedly, that's a smidge dramatic, but I think I made my point. It was a solution so lovely, so perfect, so "me" that I ordered them immediately. I can now introduce you to my escort cards:

While I fully intend to redesign the basic card, the idea of the plantable paper snowflake and the use of a gardening pun simply warmed my heart. Who doesn't love a well-placed pun? It may not be the most creative solution, or even the most elegant, but it's very much in tune with my "green" sensibilities and adds a charming touch of spring to our winter festivities!
