Sending out a call for the ultimate Southern anything reminds me of just how many goodies we take pride in in the South. For example, we’ve gone a whole week without featuring a sweet tea concept, and it’s difficult to get more Southern than that! Luckily, Chelsea from Southern Fried Paper is here to set us straight with her adorable escort cards. Thanks also to After Yes for planning the display, and Sarah Kate, Photographer, for the lovely images!
From Chelsea:
“What’s more Southern than sweet tea?! We crafted small paper envelopes of tea with names and table assignments on the front of each. After guests find their name, they can sip a big glass of Southern sweet tea as they find their seat!”
Thanks so much, ladies! Readers, if you love this idea, be sure to let us know in the comments! And remember, you’re welcome to give a vote of support to more than one concept.
LOVE this! such a sweet idea!
What a cute idea! I like the inclusion of a pre-dinner drink, too! A little “self-serve,” interactive escort card!
Love the sweet peach tea! Makes me thirsty for some right now…
Absolutely LOVE this idea! What a cute way to display the names and the tea at the same time!!
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Southern Fried Paper makes the cutest stuff!!!

So cute! I love the straws and the fresh sliced apples!

Great idea! I love that it’s not just a plain ‘ole name card … and who doesn’t love sweet tea!?

Great idea, beautifully put together. Who doesn’t love sweet tea? I’m using this entire setting when I plan my wedding. After Yes, we’ll be in touch!
I am the event manager for my company and I am always looking for new and innovative Invites. Once I found Honey Bee Invites I was absolutely hooked. If you have never experienced Honey Bee Invites you are missing out. I give them 2 thumbs out .
Love this idea! I’ll be DIYing this soon!!
Love the bow times. Bow ties are in style again. My husband wears them all the time!
I don’t think you can get more southern than this! Great job Southern Fried Paper!
I think this is the ultimate southern idea. Creative, homey, casual yet elegant. The epitome of southern style. I vote for Sweet Tea.

I cannot tell you how much I wish I was a Southerner!! Alas, I am from New Zealand and fell in love with your blog a little while ago : ) Is there any way you can send me a recipe for good sweet tea? It looks SO yummy but every time I’ve tried to make it I fail miserably…
Laurien: Hi Laurien! I am from Australia, and my mum is a Kiwi! she lived in the deep South for about 6 years as a young lass (and was legally adopted by a Southern family) and so consequently I have grown up with alot of Southern traditions, cooking, stories and memories! I feel a kinship, and so consequently I am going to have a few select Southern touches at my wedding in March. Sweet Tea will be one of them!
[…] Fried Paper touches, correct? (Yep, just check out our first Ultimate Southern Challenge, where her sweet tea escort cards were a finalist!) That’s why I just know you ladies are going to die over the inspiration […]
