Table Naming Ideas
 
All of you brides-to-be who use our fantastic wedding forum will have spotted a few messages about using words instead of numbers for your reception tables. And why not? Who wants to sit at table 10 when you have the chance to sit at the Champagne table or be part of India or Coronation Street?

Weddings are all about having fun and celebrating your lives together with the people nearest and dearest to you. Choosing a theme that relates to your lives, loves and interests will keep your guests amused and your reception memorable.

Don't restrict yourselves to the table names. Use them as a trigger for the table centres and favours or napkin holders and place cards. Just be creative. If you are honeymooning in Africa you could name your tables after different safari animals and use little wooden carved animals as a gift for your guests to take away with them. The Zebra table could be decorated in black and white whilst your trend-setting mates might appreciate a leopard-skin print on their place cards.

So where to start… well, one B2B is using the Fab Four, the Beatles, as her theme. Although she could just pick song titles or their names, it might be more fun to make a table plan in the shape of a 1960s street map showing the place names used by The Beatles. For example: Abbey Road, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, The Cavern, Yellow Submarine. You could do the same with the most romantic places in your relationship like your favourite restaurant, where you met, where you had your first kiss, where he proposed and your favourite holiday destination. Just don't be surprised if your Grandma looks a little confused at sitting at the Asda table or MacDonalds!

If you have a love of travel then use a world map and stick flags into the countries you have visited and their corresponding tables.

Fancy a celestial theme? Celebrate a heavenly day with Angel, Star, Planet, Night-Sky, Heaven, Cherub and Moon tables decorated to match.

Blend in with your medieval castle and ask your guests to sit with Camelot, Guinevere, Godiva, Merlin, Lancelot, King Arthur and The Round Table.

Pick your favourite Disney film for inspiration. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves works well but be careful who you assign to the Wicked Stepmother or Dopey's table!

Be clever with an Oscar-winners theme and create a little quiz for each table on the characters, plots and winners for each film you pick. The prize could be a mock statuette and a bottle of champagne.
