Unique Custom Escort Cards Inspired by a Deck of Playing Cards

I’ve seen a lot of creative custom escort cards, but this one takes the cake! We designed these beautiful escort cards based on a full deck of playing cards. Each card was hand watercolored and featured something meaningful on each card to the bride and groom. Not only was this functional, it also was a great conversation starter for the guests!

Watercolored Details + Personal Touches

This wasn’t just a pretty setup — it was personal in all the best ways. Each escort card was hand-painted with watercolor illustrations that represented something significant to the couple. Think sentimental, fun, and full of heart. Here’s how the cards broke down:

  • K & Q – For the bride and groom (duh!)

  • J – A tribute to their NYC roots.

  • 10 – A sailboat, for their love of being on the water.

  • 9 – Mushroom hunting adventures.

  • 8 – Marine life love, complete with an octopus and shells.

  • 7 – UMD Terrapins, their alma mater.

  • 6 – Chess pieces, because strategic date nights are a thing.

  • 5 – A whole Maryland-themed card.

  • 4 – Washington Lee lacrosse.

  • 3 – Their three favorite bar cats (yes, really).

  • 2 – Oars, another nod to their boating passion.

  • A – A blue heron, representing the wedding venue's natural charm.

Not only did this custom escort card setup look amazing — it also gave guests a peek into who the couple really are. It’s those little details that turn a wedding into something unforgettable.
