Table Numbers

Table numbers are a great way to add a personal touch to a wedding. Below is a list of table number / name ideas that have been generated by myself and other brides to get you thinking:

- Use table numbers, but decorate them with baby pictures from the age that matches the picture. For example, at table #1, there is a picture of both the bride and groom at age 1.





- Use years as the table numbers. Put a picture of each of you during that year on the card.

- Use table numbers. Go around town and take a picture of you with that number. I saw one couple take silly shots with a blank board around town and then photoshop in the number on each board. The same thing can be done with your dog hold a sign or the number being on something of significance to you both as you carry it around town (ie. basketball, typewriter)

- Name the table after places that you and your fiancee have traveled to together. Put a picture of you both at that location on the card.

- Name the table after local places that are important to you - ie. restaurant. Put a picture of you both at that location on the card.

- Name the tables after places that represent a shared interest - ie. football stadiums

- Name the table after local tourist attractions. Put a picture of you two at the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, etc. on each card.


- Use pictures of "found" numbers, like street signs and telephone keys:



- Name the table after places you will go together on your honeymoon. To make this even more special, pick up enough postcards in each location to send one to each person who was at that table. (For example, pick up enough Paris postcards for everyone at the Paris table.) Use these as your thank you notes.

- Name the tables after interesting types of wine and set the wine on the table in order to name it. The table can then share that type of wine during dinner.

- Name the tables after words related to love (ie. patience, kindness) or the word love in other languages.

- Name the tables after a type of flower. Feature that type of flower in that table's centerpiece.

If you have more ideas, I would love to hear them. Please add a comment to add it to the list!
