Question been asked to death, but......

I'm also stumped for original table name ideas so I'll be following this thread with interest. I'm sure there will be some fab ideas offered

Just found this on google

i really like the song title idea! We both live music, have very similar tastes in music and have so many songs which have been significant to us throughout our 10 years together, I think this could be perfect for us!

Thank you that's great! I clicked on the link to the 100 different ideas and there's a couple of possible ones in there too!!! :-) xx

We're planning to have dates significant to us

our table- wedding date

my family table- my DOB

h2b's family table- his DOB

our engagement date

our first holiday date

our first festival date

the day we bought our house

the date I first watched H2B race (he's into Motorsport)

What are your hobbies? I'd go with something you both really love and find something suitable. I love when things at weddings are really personal to the couple & you can tell with these sort of details

We had one big table but we both love music and would have picked either albums, songs or artists probably so I think it's finding something related to your interests.

What are you in to? Make it something that's personal to you as a couple.

What about your favourite music? You could use an album cover instead of a table number?

I'm having traditional 1-8 table numbers but I have free standing wooden numbers which have been painted silver to match the 'Mr & Mrs' letters on the fireplace behind the top table, they look lovely.

If you can't think of anything maybe just go with numbers but do it differently rather than the standard ones a venue might provide?

God luck x

We too are struggling with this, but we could be going with our favourite film - Nightmare Before Christmas!

We are obsessed with travelling, so our table names are pretty obvious!

A friend of ours loves racing (cars) and named the tables after different corners on a certain circuit (I want to say Le Mans, but I could be totally wrong as I know nothing about cars!)

I've seen golfing couples name their tables after famous courses too.

If my OH had his way, we would be naming our tables after something triathlon/bike related, but all I can imagine is a table named 'spokes'!

Someone may well have replied with this, but just in case: http://www.planyourperfectwedding.com/article/planning-tips/100-wedding-table-name-ideas has a lot of ideas!! (sorry, I don't know how it hyperlink it!)

We thought for ages about table names as we didn't want the numbers as there will always be someone complaining that they're at No 7 when auntie so and so is at No 3 etc. OH loves ACDC so we are having their albums as table names. X

I printed our table name cards as 7x5 inch photos at Tesco.

Designed them on Microsoft Powerpoint rather than Publisher. You can set the powerpoint slide to the right side before starting to design it. When happy with each slide, 'save as' JPEGS rather than Powerpoint, and it converts each slide (table name) into a separate JPEG, which the Tesco Photo website will take as an upload.

We got some spray glue and stuck the photos back to back to make the finished product. Picture below shows the front. The backs were different, including pictures of old style pin up girls.

Named the tables after our guests rather than ourselves though, as felt this was a bit nicer and relevant to them! We had people travelling from all over, so it was Dodgy Dubliners, Berkshire Belles etc. Half flattering titles and half rude ones, just for fun

We had numbers meaningful to us, linked to our birthdays, no. of years we had been together, date of the wedding, date we met. Some numbers were dates e.g. 4 for 4th month, some were years, so we got 3 numbers from the same date. It made it a talking point with people trying to work it out.

That really helpful!! Thank you so much!!! Xx

Thank you all for the great ideas too!! Xx

Well that's one of the nicest ones I've ever heard of ❤️

And me!!! Love this one!!!! :-) x

We are having our tables named with poker hands starting with the highest poker hand..... We both met playing poker for fun over the internet, so this has a meaning too us.

Just thought, I am crap at this so I would be tempted to name the tables:

This Table, That Table, Which Table? What Table? Mad Table, Who Table, Why Table?

Haha it would tie in nicely with my Alice childhood obsession in a little way :-) hahaha

Failing that, it would be album names that mean a lot to us :-)

ah - my OH and I met through poker too

That's brilliant ?

Not just for Alice themes, but also for people either struggling to find names, or not really keen on the whole table-naming-concept.

We're both into music (OH even does it as a job) so I suggested the album covers thing to him. His response was "ok, as long as we can include an album by Septicflesh". I could imagine my grandmother's face if that was her table, so we're rethinking

There are so many different ideas for table names - I think it will be really difficult when it comes to my planning to decide on things like this! I was a bridesmaid for my cousin a few years ago and her and her OH lived quite close to each other throughout their lives so they created a map to get them from the house he lived in whilst growing up to the house she lived in whilst growing up to the house they live in together now. They took road names from the map and used those as the table names! I also think it's a cute idea to pick your favourite numbers (if you have any!) and use pictures of both of you at that age for the table numbers (obviously with a number displayed!) Another idea I have seen recently whilst wedding browsing is hotel names. You say you haven't travelled to many places but have you been to 7 hotels together / between you? If so, you could use these as table names! I really love the idea of making it personal to the bride and groom - makes it different to any other wedding the guests will ever go to again!!
