Football themed wedding - help!!!!

Hi and welcome.

There are a few brides getting married on that day (I only know because it's my dad's birthday so sticks in my mind!)

I just bought these favours for the boys, something like that could work;

They're really good chocolate too.

For table centres I can;t really think of much, although I'm sure you could match it to black and white.

Tables could be named after legends from his team (Newcastle?) or to make it less team specific, England players? I only mention making it less team specific as, for example, my OH hates Liverpool so going to a LFC themed wedding would be his worst nightmare!

Invitations could follow a football them.

There are so many possibilities, I thik your problem is going to be decidin what not to have in a football theme tbh!

Hi Sarah-Kay

Thanks for the advice, we've getting those for the kids favors and having lotto tickets for the adults. OH is a Grimsby supporter and so are all his family - thankfully not many of my family are into it. I've just drawn a complete blank with ideas, we don't want flowers or candles or balloons as table centres so we're having a lot of problems with it. It's all his fault lol I'm blaming him as he's not here to defend himself xxxxx

THere is a football cake here if you skip through the photos.

Welcome to hitched by the way

Are you sure you don't want flowers? you could have black and white pomanders in different sizes (they'll look like footballs but be stylish at the same time).

Hi by the way, welcome!

Could you maybe incorporate imitation trophies or cups - perhaps holding flowers? You could have a larger one for the top table with black and white ribbons tied to the handles. Table numbers or names could be in the shape of football shirts with the numbers on, likewise the table plan. Order of Service/Day could be like a match programme. Place cards could be like the old vintage collectable cigarette cards of players! You could have a Subutteo table set up in a corner for the kids (or big kids!) to play with in the evening!

This is a table plan i sourced for one of my customers, not one i did myself, and is A0 size

Matching table names

if you'd like more details you can email me at ****************@**********.***

love this cake too!!

How about naming the tables after famous players and make them in the shape of shirts or names of other teams that are in the same league. you could put the scores on a shirt for table number ie

1-0

2-0

3-0 etc

how about using red and yellow cards somewhere in your evening or meal or in the speeches that might be funny. Or you could bring in a footballers wife thme along side it.

the table Numbers could be red and yellow cards or whistles, goals. if i think of any others ill post again good luck x

We're having our reception themed on my other halfs fav football team, so far we have named the tables after players and instead of a square card with the name on we have card football shirts, he has made the table plan with the teams crest on, our flowers are based on the team colours and our place names have the team crest on too. We are lucky though as red and cream are quite common wedding colours but there is alot of beautiful wedding stationery ect in black and white at the moment.

OOOOO that's sound DEAD exciting!!! :-) x

How weird...I've been surfing the Hitched forum for most of the day (yes, I know - a little bit sad! lol); anyway; I finally logged off to do a bit of research about themed weddings and without realising it, I was pinged staight back to Hitched forum and to a post where the OP is getting married today! ?

There is no real reason for this post - just thought it was a little bizarre - hope it went well OP ?

They would have to be imitation as we are talking about Grimsby football club..........

only joking.....I must admit that I truly admire supporters of lower league teams
