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.
