    We had our grandparents names. All of mine are dead and H only has one left, so this was our way of including them on the day. Naturally, H's grandad sat on his own table!

    H is really into classic cars so we thought about having car names, Daimler, Ferrari etc Or Grand Prix track names.

    I left the naming of the tables to H as his pet project (he was to print out pictures of the cars). It wasn't done, so we ended up having 1, 2, 3 etc ?

    Other ideas i've heard are;

    'Love' in different languages

    Favorite films or songs

    erm, can't think of anymore.

    We need to decide if we are going to have table names, seeing as our wedding is in just over 2 weeks & I've not done the seating plan!

    I wanted to have different types of cheese, but OH wasn't too keen (just realised that I've written a pun - Keens is a type of cheddar....?)

    We may have ski resorts we have been to. I think there have been 9 (that's how many tables we are having)

    A friend had locks on the Thames (he used to be a lock keeper) or you could have trees, flowers, bridges, authors, books......

    We're using numbers, but instead of 1, 2, 3 etc using motoGP rider numbers and putting rider bios on each table. Numbers are copied from the front of each riders bike:

    We're having our favourite comedy shows....each table name will have one of our favourite quotes! So we're having Blackadder, Phoenix Nights, Morecombe and Wise, Two Ronnies....etc etc......

    H2B came up with the idea of Love and Laughter as our theme ?

    We will either just have numbers and I've already bought them as they match the menus or h2b wants motorbike names so Kawasaki etc. I'm not bothered either way but the numbers will look much better but if he wants motorbikes he shall have them ?

    We haven't decided yet, but the other day I thought it might be an idea to have tables named after all the big marriage anniversaries eg Ruby, Silver, Gold etc but I can't decide it I like that idea yet....maybe it will bring us luck for a long successful happy marriage!

    We had metallic elements from the periodic table eg Au, Ag, Pl, Cu, Mo. The top table was Pt which is the symbol for platinum. H works as a metallurgist so that is where that idea came from.

    Other ideas were:

    Cocktail names

    Types of red wine

    Places that we were going on honeymoon

    Names for different shades of pink as pink was one of the colours in our scheme

    They were from sugarspunsister but we were the last order for her to fulfil as she stopped business quite a while ago.

    These were them and we gave out prizes to 10 golden ticket winners.

    The lady has unfortunately closed the website, ours was her last order as she started full time work.

    We are getting married in the Roald Dahl suite, so am keen on having his books as table names otherwise maybe places we have lived (fair few) or (his suggestions) Welsh Rugby player names ?

    Personally I would like to have the names of our favourite bands/singers as the names. But am a bit of a muso and he isn't.
