Escort cards vs. Place cards

What's the difference between escort cards and place cards? Escort cards indicate the table where you will be seated, while place cards indicate your particular seat at the table. Some couples choose numbers for the tables, others opt for names of favorite places, romantic celebrity couples, songs, movies, beaches, hobbies, etc. Place cards are usually written in calligraphy. Displaying the escort cards can be as simple as having them lined up on a table, hanging from branches, served on a silver tray or a framed chart. Place cards can be tucked in a napkin fold, put in a frame or incorporated into a favor. Use your imagination and have fun with both. Who has seen some different takes on these?
