What are you naming your tables?

Ours will be elvis songs - my oh loves elvis so thought it would be quite funny

I wanted Audrey Hepburn movies but OH won

and he's naming them after mod bands, The Jam, The Clash ect ect x

We are thinking of going for our favourite restaurants or favourite wines. Since most of our socialising is eating out we thought it maybe the way to go. We didn't realise we were such big red wine lovers till our first four engagement presents were all related to it!!

We were going to do things like our favourite holiday destination, our first date, our childhood memories things that mean something to us xx

Ours are of songs and artists eg- Sex on fire- Kings of Leon ?, Groovy Kind of Love- Phill collins etc

Wizard of Oz related - Ruby Slippers, Cowardly Lion, Emerald City, Dorothy, Toto, Yellow Brick Road.. Etc! 16 of them altogether.

Ours are just one letter per table, which spell out our surname. Top table we have Mr & Mrs in freestanding letters.

Yep, were naming ours after places in New York!

This is where we got engaged! x

My OH's best man had this at his wedding last October! His now wife walked down the aisle to 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'! The grooms rowdier friends were sat on a table called 'The Flying Monkeys'. I'm pretty sure that was a small (and very funny) dig!

But in answer to the original post we are naming our tables after our pets!

We're having names. Can't decide at the moment whether to name each table after 1 of my horses (I have enought horses!) or to follow my theme of pink roses with the table names. The roses would probably be more classy but the horse names more fun.

We are either having places we have been; Lefkada [where we got engaged] Bath,Brighton,London,Chichester and Leicester!

Or maybe Song titles with songs that we love?

Deary me we have had such debates on this one and have narrowed it down to 3! We are only having 5 tables and the head table, so:

1. The great lakes of Canada/North America. OH's mum and little bro live there.

2. Famous towers - We have been up the Spinnaker (and we live in Portsmouth), the CN (another Canada link), Eiffel, etc

3. As we have a blue colour scheme, different shades of blue.

We are having a vintage tea paryt kind of theme and naming our tables after types of tea. So my family - Lady Grey, OH family - Earl Grey, family friends fromboth sides - Darjeeling and then out frinds Tetley (not that there is anythign wrong with Tetley).

We're naming ours aftern locally-made beers/ales. A local brewery has sent us laminated versions out its labells to use on the tables.

I think we're naming our tables after films with numbers in the title - one flew over the cuckoo's nest, 29 days later, three men and a baby, ...I think you get the picture!

We are naming ours differnet places in Australia - we met when we were both flying to Oz to go travelling on our own and then travelled round together!!

So we are havign photos from our travelling pics of us at the place e.g. Opera House, Ayers Rock, etc etc!!!

Ours are named after holidays we've had together.

We're naming ours after places along Brighton seafront as that's where we're getting married.

The top table will be 'Brighton' one end and 'Hove, actually' the other end!

Erm, we're having "1", "2", "3" etc? ?

We can't really do that as we have 5 tables and have only been to Canada, Malia and the Isle of Wight!! ?

?

some people name tables, some people have numbers......but having numbers alwasy poses the problem of some people saying 'well, why am i on table 6 and not on table 2 hey, im family!'

we are having ours named after pick and mix sweets

We are having cocktail names, pina colada, blue lagoon, white russian etc as we are serving cocktails as reception drinks.

Were naming ours with love songs...always and forever,everlasting love, truly madly deeply etc things like that...my mum came up with the idea and we think its great!

originallly we were going to use just words relating to love and marriage but we like this idea beta!

x

I've just looked up the names of 'blue' roses and they seem like a stunning idea for table names:

Blue Moon, Blueberry Hill, Blue Magic, Blushing Blue & Blue Crystal.

Hmm, we could choose names of places that we've been together.

"New York", "Munich", "Paris", and erm, "Hull" ?

We named ours after places we had enjoyed visting or that were important to us.

As our wedding is themed around the ocean - we are naming our tables after the oceans and seas and doing little fact files about each ocean or sea!

The Wizard of Oz is exactly what we're looking at going with. It will either be that or the name of musicals. I'm also walking down the aisle to Somewhere over the Rainbow!

We had pets names for our 10 tables (and yes, we have had that many pets together - and another 3 since!)

We are having ours named after landmarks in Auckland NZ, its where OH is from and its a way to involve the family.

We had names of chefs and my favourite cookbook, and names of my OH's favourite sportsmen. So Stein, Oliver, Hummingbird, Faldo, Lineker and Botham.

We named ours after surnames which run through both sides of our families. I lost my Grandma last year a few months before the wedding so one of the tables was named after her maiden name. Same with H's Grandma too.

The top table was H's (and my now) surname.

Where possible we tried to sit someone with the same surname as the table. It went down really well and was a talking point.
