Table Name Ideas Please

We are having couples from our favourite films...

The tables with have signs with the couples names on one side and a picture of the film poster on the other.

Don't name them for the sake of it, try and think of something you love and expand on that.

We love monkeys, always give each other monkey cards etc. So we had types of monkey (Baboon, chimpanzee, orangutan, gorillas etc, was really fun!)

So what are you and OH into?

We like sport. Watch a lot of TV shows. Adore The West Wing so was thinking of having something like that but not sure if people owuld get the meaning.

It doesn't matter if people don't get it, the day is about you two and what makes you tick.

In any case you can always have a picture or small explanation about each chosen name. Some of our monkeys were not obvious monkeys, for example, Barbary Apes, but as soon as you see the picture you realise they are 'Gibraltar monkeys'

We're having sweets. Mainly we both love sweets but also my H2B is known as the sweet tooth and we've used sweets in nicknames etc. Sweets fit with us.

It's not about other people understanding, it's about what you want, and if you're really worried about it you can always put a little note on the centre of the table explaining it

I think it's only worth doing if it's something personal to you.

Our ideas were cities we've been together, landmarks we've visited with a picture, Lakes in the Lake District (where the wedding is), places we've been in Italy (where we got engaged), or favourite bands / songs with a playlist playing in the background while we eat, or even given out as a favour... to name a few. Think we're going for the landmarks one

I wouldn't worry about people not understanding at all! We're having names of the roads in the development we've just bought our house in, which are all named after old submarines, which has double meaning because I used to be in the navy! But no one other than maybe our parents will get it at all! x

?Thanks for all the advice

This simply isn't possible for us. My H2B listens to death metal and likes bands like Cannibal Corpse and Dying Feotus....not really any use for wedding table names ha ha

He keeps asking if he can play some of his music at the wedding and, well it's his wedding too....just a bit nervous as to the guests! It's not my kinda music, in fact he plays it in the car so I know what it sounds like. We're in discussions :oS

We are having sweets too - my OH loves sweets and actually proposed with a haribo ring!! i think if you are going to name tables it has to be sometihng that means something to you, if you can't think or agree on anything there is nothing wrong with 1, 2, 3 etc

Yikes! Maybe not that one then!!
