These vintage key escort cards are a charming idea for a vintage wedding. Escort cards tell guests which table to look for at the reception, to save everyone wandering around trying to find their table. It looks beautiful and as every key is different, the guests feel very special with their own personal key! They can take the keys home too, as a memento of the day. Hunt at thrift stores and flea markets for old keys, or find old keys or vintage style keys lots on eBay.
