Table names inspiration please

We are gonna have names of butterflies but god know when i will do it as only 3 weeks and 6 days to go!!!

You should be able to do the date and pic thing in your timeframe...is a lovely idea x

We're not sure what we're going to do yet, but I thought of animals we like (so moose, giraffe, cat, dog etc) TV programmes, characters from films and programmes we like (someone's going to end up with the Buffy table in that case!) or pick some that are relevant to you and some for him.

And if the whole thing is stressing you out, just have numbers. There's no rule that says everything has to be customised, even though it's nice to do.

Not sure how I'm going to display them, but I like the memo clip ones with a block or something more fancy at the bottom. Not sure what we're going to do for the table plan itself, might have that as my handmade thing with some coloured card or something. We're getting our invites etc from vistaprint, so I might design a postcard or something using the design we picked as a 'frame' and then print the names/numbers on them at home. I love making things by hand, but made a conscious decision not to overload myself - hence printed invites.

Good luck with your ideas!

Have you got a general theme for your wedding? How about romantic quotes from films? ie 'you had me at hello..' TBH I really like just numbers as I think it looks quite classy.

I think there is so much pressure to have everything fitting in and customised isnt there???!!!

I love the idea of famous quotes actually - haven't heard that one before!! A friend had types of wine which i really liked but she's too close of a friend to have the same idea as!!!

LOL same here Lizzieloumoose as we are big Buffy and Angel fans and we thought about famous contemporary couples (names and photo): Bella and Edward, Buffy & Angel, Tarzan & Jane etc...

We are having names of places that we are going to visit on our honeymoon, designed like postcards with a postage stamp personalised for the wedding...

Place Names so far:

Sri Lanka, Anuradahpura, Bergtempel, Columbo, Dambulla, Pinnawala, Pollonarvwa, Sigyria, Thalawakale

Maldives, Meeru, Mali

I did think about photos of us at the age of the table too... still might use that!

I think that were going to do precious gems / stones I.e. Diamonds, Pearls, Saphires, Rubys etc then on the place cads stick on the proper stones (obv not real one but you can get so many nice stones on ebay!)

We're being a bit mean with ours and possibly having colours (OH and my brother are both colour blind) either that or football grounds if he gets his way!

Some fab ideas ladies - love the postcard one but i dont thnk we are going to enough places to do that!

For some reason i had the idea of doing photos in years but i could just do tables 1-10 with a pic of us at each age...that might be easier maybe.

Ours being country fayre theme we're having different fabrics which correspond to the fabrics on the tables - gingham, spotty, striped, check, floral etc.

I think I'm going with places that mean something to us. - where we first met, our first date, where we first lived together, where we live now, maybe one called after our kittens. I'm going to have the name of the place and then underneath an explanation of what it relates to...

At a friedns wedding last year they had the m.i.l.k cards as they all have really cool pictures of like different couples with romantic and funny quotes under them

She had 2 cards back to back so it was the same on each side then on the table plan you can just wrte to quote xx

I love the fabrics idea fancyfree :-)

Moving on from the movie quotes, how about lyrics from a favourite band or if you have an 'our song' for your first dance, lyrics from that.

I LOVE this - what a great idea!!!

Our theme is stars so we are having names of stars then on the back there will be a few facts like this

Alderamin or Alpha Cephei, is the brightest star in the constellation Cepheus.

It is approximately 48.8 light-years from earth.

Alderamin translated from the Arabic al dhira al yamin, meaning "right arm," refers the arm of the king whom the constellation represents.

Alderamin lies close to the precessional path of the north celestial pole, so that it periodically comes within 3° of being an exact pole star – a status it last held in about 18,000 BC and will hold again about 5,500 years from now.

We are both big Sci Fi fans and love anything to do with space so its quite apropriate for us

We are having the names of places we visited in Majorca which is where we got engaged

We have cards with the name printed on but not sure yet if they will be just put on the tables or displayed higher

Very similar to Mrs C's! Named after holidays we've been on and made to look like a postcard - complete with postage stamp!! ? The table plan is a cork notice board with the postcards stuck on.

Mrs C - you will love Sri Lanka! We went in 2007 and been to a few of the the places you mention - they'd started bombing again and a couple of places we were due to go to became off limits so we had to have a detour ?

We've gone nice and simple - names of Scottish places that we've visited together

Hi

We are having our favourite racehorses as table names. I have downloaded some pictures from the internet and printed them onto some pearlised card, I have put the horses' name above the picture, some information about the horse and listed the races it had won. Then I have mounted it onto another piece of card that matches the colour scheme. It looks great. I even emailed the trainer of one of the horses and have got some fantastic photo's sent from them. We are calling the top table the jockeys and are having set up in a horse shoe shape !!

Suze xx

I absolutely can't wait!!!

We were going to use photos of us in places we had visited but couldn't find enough different locations to fill 12 tables!!!
