Embroidered Cocktail Napkins and Seating Chart

Hi All! We’re in the beginning stages of deciding on decor for our June wedding. I would love to incorporate embroidered cocktail napkins but not exactly sure how to. For anyone that did, how did you do so? Some ideas I’ve seen so far are: keeping them at the bar as decor (then would people use them for drinks?), using them as coasters during cocktail hour, using them as menu place cards for the passed apps (the design would say the app and would be included on the trays so people would see what the app was as waiters were walking around). As a guest I’m just not sure what I’d do with these napkins if I saw them at a wedding.

Also, we are planning to do assigned seats at the wedding. We’ll have place cards at everyone’s seat. If we do this can we also do escort cards or do we need to do a seating chart? It feels weird to have both place cards and escort cards. My main goal is to have escort cards and have assigned seats (not tables). How would I do this? Thanks!
