Tiny detail, not important but bothering me!

Most weddings i've been to have just had peoples first name on the actual table with the full name ie Joseph Bloggs on the table plan. But don't know if that's the norm...

Most weddings I've been to....

Joseph Bloggs - on table plan,

Joseph Bloggs - on place name,

Hi,

Have you come back from cloud 9 yet? Well done.

I did shortened names so the best man is actually called Derek but we call him Del so seems daft to put Derek when we wouldn't normally in conversation. His wife is Joanne but gets called Jo so again used that.

ETA I put surnames on both the table plan and place cards.

Weve used full names on both- Joseph Bloggs. thought it looked fancier ?

We did the Mr/Mrs/Miss thing but also used shortened names, so our usher was Mr. Jonny Mxxxx on both the table plan and the place card, even though his name is Jonathan. Only his mother calls him Jonathan!

We are not putting titles (the whole Ms/MrsMiss dilemma was too much to take) and have a mixture of formal and shortened names. It depends on the person really - we have a Jonathan who is sometimes Jon sometimes Jonathan so we are using Jonathan - then there is Jim who has always been Jim so Jim he shall stay...

Sorry thats a lot of waffle to say very little, hope it helps anyway

Joseph Bloggs on plan, Joe or Joseph on name places, mainly what we know them as, but also that's because I can only fit so many letters on my poker chips.

I think you need surnames for definite on the plan but once they get to the table, even if there's two people with the same first name I'm sure they'll work out where they are meant to sit.

I had enough trouble working out if people were Miss, Mrs or Ms for the invitation addresses, if I offended anyone then I'm not doing it again on the day!

That's what I was trying to say!

We put on the table plan first name and then last name. I would have got too stressed getting the titles right! lol

Thanks! Think I'm going to leave titles and do a mix of things we know people by and the full name and surname depending on how well we know them.

Hitched comes to the rescue again!
