How many tables will you have ?

We did favourite restaurants. We had 12 tables I think.

DuploTrain · 06/08/2023 21:29

We did place/city names that were meaningful to us

Favourite places you have travelled together.

Things linked to a shared hobby.

Films or books you both love.

My friend used the names of pets they'd both had, she does almost have a zoo though 😂

SM4713 · 06/08/2023 21:34

Countries or places you have travelled too
Colours or flowers you both like
Favorite foods
Games you like? Monopoly, connect 4, snakes and ladders?
Favourite meals
Pet names
Street names
Favourite restaurants/cafes- it could be anything really.
You could also just number them 1, 2, 3 etc!

I did animals. Table with Norwegian guest was Killer Whales, table with my dairy farmer uncle was Mucky Cows, table with my riding mates was Classy Horses.

Table names should be personal to you.

Names of places you've been
Restaurants you've eaten in
Bands or songs you like
Films you've seen.
Books
Flowers if your into gardens

This or local/regional surnames

caringcarer · 06/08/2023 23:21

We had cricket grounds as both love 🏏.

Evenstar · 06/08/2023 23:27

My friends used musicals

NoNoNoYoureWrong · 06/08/2023 23:32

We did places our parents/ we had lived, with a little info on the back of the name card. As our parents were from 4 different countries. It also helped to get the different parts of the two families taking to each other.

Just something that is personal to you as a couple.

tuscany88 · 07/08/2023 00:43

Cities that mean something to you

catin8oots · 07/08/2023 01:28

mintich · 07/08/2023 02:21

We did locations of our first 15 dates!

ThankYouVeryMuchGerry · 09/08/2023 20:35

My first wedding we named all our tables after sweets and had a bowl of that sweet on the table. The table plan had sweets glued all around it. Everyone loved it.

Edthehorse · 10/08/2023 07:17

Films/TV programmes you both like

Places you've been on holiday

Favourite local places

goldensquaresofjoy · 10/08/2023 07:18

The classiest weddings I have been to have all just used numbers tbh.

Justhereforaibu1 · 10/08/2023 07:20

We did surnames of previous generations of our families. For example my Nana was a Smith so that was one.

I attended a wedding who had chocolate names tables complete with vases of said chocolates as centre peices. It made for a freindly wedding as people at tables traded chocolates.
