Table names - lets hear yours!

I think we're deciding between 2 options - important places to us, or random numbers with photos of us at that age. I can't decide, but I think if we go with places we will still have some older photos around somewhere.

I think we're gonna go with the Houses from Game of Thrones. I wanted Disney couples as I'm a huge Disney fan but OH wasn't keen

We haven't decided 100% yet, but my ideas at the moment are:

Places we've lived (OH was in the RAF and I've moved around a few times so it's something relevant to us both)
Disney films according to order of release (so that numbers don't necessarily go in order, but numbers are involved)
Disney couples (one half on the table plan, the other on the table to add a bit extra to the table hunting!)
Favourite sweets (we're both big kids!)

I love the idea of having baby pictures with the table numbers, but already plan to do 'baby photo bunting'

I really like the way people are managing to make it personal and relevant

Video games and animes which we enjoy or have meaning to us, so: Final Fantasy, Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, FullMetal Alchemist, Kuroshitsuji, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, My Neighbour Totoro. The exception is our sweetheart table, which will be called Avengers Assemble, in homage to the fact that OH was building an Iron Man suit when I met him. I've designed the table names and plan already ?

Still not 100% but think we are having ice cream flavours as our table names! my other half is an ice cream freak!! We are having a vintage ice cream van after the ceremony that is a surprise to everyone except me and OH. Also think we are going to favours to match the tables, eg salted caramel, vanilla, chocolate, mint choc chip cookies etc depending on what table your on x

Is this any help from a wedding I shot in 2007

Fab. I need to scrap my entire wedding and plan again!

I won't but that's brill. Please tell me it wasn't Susie and Toto's?

Nope -- so you are good to go

We met when I was in Australia for the 2003 rugby world cup and our wedding is during this years rugby world cup so our tables are the surnames of our favourite players of all time. The top table name is still in negotiation!

We really like Paris and we also got engaged there, so we named our tables after Paris landmarks. As we got into diving recently, if we were getting married again, we would probably name the tables after our favourite dive sites

Andy

We (me) are huge primate fans. So our table names are primate names with corresponding photos. Gorillas, chimps, orangutans etc

A wedding we went to a few years had London Underground stations because they spent a lot of time in London when they were dating. One this year had composers because they're both musical, and another had places (close to home, rather than on holiday) that they visited a lot when dating.

Our current favourite theme is famous/significant Mancunians or people associated with Manchester.

We had names of Oasis songs as it is OHs fave band. The bridal table was Wonderawall (or first dance but we had the Ryan Adams Version) and my uncle who's band was playing was on Rock n Roll Star.

There were 7 in total. Can't remember what others we had!!!!

Might have to steal the idea of the posters - love that! Haha The relevant musicals to the people on the table is good too

Well there are loads of posters you can pinch on pinterest and Google images - I just 'saved image as' and then pasted into a word doc, making sure picture ended up as A5 size

I want either 'we go together like....' And have the tables as
Fish and chips
Bert and Ernie
Ice cream and jelly (not all food but that's all I can think up off the top of my head!)
Etc or couples like Danny and sandy, Scott and Charlene. Had the OH on board a bit but only if we could have silly ones like Lennon and McCartney (my dad hates Paul McCartney!), Fred and rose west, Liam and noel! So at an undecided right now! We don't have things on common like music or anything but I don't really want just numbers and have seen the places on holiday so many times I want to do something a bit different! Not fred west different though!!

My h2b is a big Tottenham hotspur fan, so we're doing players from the past n now, bill nicholson, Gary Lineker, Glen hoddle, Harry kane, jimmy greaves, Jurgen Klinsmann, Paul Gascoigne, Steve perryman and then Gareth bale. Xx

I think we will be having London Underground Stations for our table names.

Although we now live on London/Essex border, I was born and raised in London and H2B had lived in London since he came to the UK when he was 11.

H2B also works for the London Underground so makes things even more relevant LOL

Recent weddings we've been to have had designer brand names, chocolate bars, countries

We're not 100% decided yet - still have a year to go. The front runner is constellations, but animal themed. So table names will be things like Ursa Major (the bear) and Camelopardalis (giraffe). We're super into astronomy - waiting for results of the GCSE we took this year - and also having the reception in a Safari Park. So fits pretty well

We are using names of ski runs.

We both love skiing and we got engaged on the mountain.

We're debating between:

Cocktail names. As we're well known for drinking cocktails and I'm known for making them lol

OR

Train station names. As we spent the 1st 7 years of our relationship travelling 300 miles each way on the train to see each other every week

We're having houses from Jane Austen novels, like Pemberley, Mansfield Park etc.

I'm thinking of having Amsterdam places and street names, as it's where I was born and we met. I hope to find nice old postcards of each street, and write a little story on the back about its history and/or what it means to us. Thinking of some of the historical landmarks, as well as the streets where we lived, where our university was, and where we had our first kiss (after he gave me a lift home on the back of his bike, it's like a Dutch movie haha)!

Yay for Beatherder table! We're having that too as having a festival theme so all our tables will be named after them - Glastonbury, Creamfields, Homelands, Sziget, Parklife...

Ours are going to be named after bottles of Champagne! Moet, Veuve Clicquot, Bollinger, Dom Perignon etc...

We are having different whiskey names. My OH is really into whiskey and its something he really wanted to do because at military dinners we've been to like Burns Suppers they have a different bottle on each table and keep passing them round and he really wants to do this

We're having ships from some of our favourite sci-fi shows.

Millennium Falcon (from Star Wars)

Liberator (from Blakes 7)

Serenity (from Firefly)

Whitestar (from Babylon 5)

USS Enterprise (from Star Trek)

and TARDIS for top table :-)

I was going to go with just table numbers but now I've seen this & the great ideas on here. I want something different that relates to me & my husband to be.

We got engaged in Disney World, and I'm a Disney fan (OH is now converted!) so we had Disney songs that relate to romance/relationships etc. Wanted it to be subtle Disney rather than in-your-face!

Tables were:

So This is Love (Cinderella)

Kiss the Girl (The Little Mermaid)

You've Got a Friend in Me (Toy Story)

Bella Notte (Lady and the Tramp)

Once Upon a Dream (Sleeping Beauty)

You'll Be in My Heart (Tarzan)

Hakuna Matata (The Lion King)

When You Wish Upon a Star (Pinocchio)

Told my hubby to be that I wasn't happy with just table numbers. We've now decided on places we have been on holiday together that mean a lot to us. We are even putting a picture on the table with the holiday.
