Table name ideas?!x

We named ours after Shropshire hills as this is where we are from and we enjoy walking.

What is your theme for the wedding? Do you have something you both enjoy doing?

That's lovely FunkyDiva -we're going for London Bridges 'cos we're getting married overlooking the Thames, and it means a lot to us both. Other ideas I've seen are holidays you've had (with a picture from the holiday as the table marker) or words for love in the language of each country you've had. A friend did characters from her favourite play - midsummer night's dream.

Just found this on a website.

Colours - colours connected with your theme - so if your colour is blue, tables could be sky, midnight, royal etc. Places - places you've been together. Hobbies - words connected with a particular passion one or both of you have - eg if you are golf fanatics then you could have tee, 19th hole, fairway, green etc. Songs - names of songs by artists you both like. Honeymoon - Going on an interesting/exotic honeymoon? Use names from that - for a safari you could use names of animals, for a beach holiday you could have palm tree, white sand, coral etc. Venue - take inspiration from your venue. If it's castle you could have spires, moat, princess etc. "I Love You" - "I love you" in different languages. Season - table names could fit with the season - a winter wedding's tables could be called icicle, snowflake, blizzard etc. Location - think of names relevant to your location - if you're getting married in a town or country with an interesting history then pick out some of those people/events. Where you met - make a reference to where you met. If you met at university you could have landmarks from that town or a list of colleges/halls/bars. Heritage - use your heritage/ancestors. If you have a Scottish connection then use all things Scottish - tartan, whisky, kilt, loch etc.

We're having our pets names!

Ole, Busby, Rio, Wesley, Fudge, Wispa, Boo, Spike, Rafael and Fabio

Blimey RaeF you have a lot of pets!

We're going for an RAF themes for our tables - FIL was in the RAf so we're naming the top table after his squadron and the other tables after british aircraf currently serving and thise that have been decomissioned

We've been round the houses with this one and have settled on places in Scotland that we have been.

We were going to go for flower names then foreign countries that we've visited. I also liked the idea of jem stones.

Wow, what a great and fast response from you all!

I love the pets idea but we dont have any pets....

Love the holiday idea but we've only been abroad togther 3 times...

Dont really have any hobbies (I know that sounds boring!)

I saw on another website a 'disney' themed one;

Seven dwarves cottage

Enchanted kingdon

Cincerellas castle

etc etc....I thought it could be funny to stick my partners rowdy mates on the seven dwarves table, but not sure a disney theme is particularly 'us'.

Theme for the wedding is creams, golds, light browns, lace etc (I think), quite classic suppose! xxx

Were thinking about having either our favourite movies or movie genres

Eg Comedy

Horror

Romance

Thriller

Chic Flic

Animation

I know who i will be putting on the horror table!?

What about favourite games;

Cluedo
Monopoly
Buckaroo
Chess

You could put the board on the table as decorations, and you could find the box pictures for your stand name and each place card could have a person piece e.g. trivial pursuit circle...ready for the cheese!

Scrabble Cake?

You could even make your H a personalised monopoly board as a gift for the day!

What about favourite chocolates/sweeties/biccies etc etc??

Sadly not all still with us! Though we currently have 7 - 5 hamsters and 2 gerbils. These are the most recent additions:

Ah RaeF how cute are those little Hamsters!

We've gone round and round with this idea.

Flowers, pets, and even most recently settling on naming them after our grandparents/close people who are no longer with us. But we're not back so square one, with my oh most recent imput being the red arrows.

We are naming ours after our favourite racehorses, we are having a photograph of each horse and details of it's career xx

We're having super heroes! Batman, Superman etc ?

I am loving all this planning and have totally become a hitched addict!! lol. I've heard of farmers calling tables after breeds of cows/sheep, or tractors, but i like the ideaof calling them after sweets!! dolly mixtures, bonbons, fruit pastilles!!

Oooh i like having 'i love you' in different languages - but is it too twee?

we were going to have different species of butterflies since i have always thought they were beautiful and we're having butterflies on place cards and table plan. but since we have 20 tables i think this might end in huge confusion - 200 people walking around reading each table name to see if it is theirs! so might have to do plain old numbers

We are going to have names of beaches I went to as a kid, beaches he likes to surf at and beaches we have been to together and hopefully postcards of these beaches too.

We are having a black tie reception and have decided to name are tables after James Bond films - Diamonds are forever, From Russia with Love, Casino Royale etc x

We didnt have a hobby or had been to many places so went with our theme. 'rustic/woody' so probably going with trees, with pictures of trees with numbers carved into them

Long haul holiday destinations we've been on for us ?

Unfortunately mine's football related!

At the moment we are going for local landmarks around our venue. i'm sure it will change yet again! ?

We're going for butterfly names as thats our theme, altho seriously got to get on internet to google names!!

We're thinking of having retro sweets as the table names and then having a jar of each on each table. Not set in stone yet though.........

This is ours- Snowflake, Ivy Garland, Winter Wonderland, Holly Berries, Blizzard, Icicle and Frost

Im thinking of names of the lakes in the Lake District, we got engaged in near ullswater, I'm still not sure may just go for numbers yet x

We're going to have wedding photos of our parents, grandparents etc as the table names - although I haven't quite worked out how to do the naming bit yet as there'll be two Mr and Mrs Hirst's and two Mr and Mrs Kiddle's lol!

We haven't really got stand out hobbies - so otherwise may be others that have been suggested such as our holiday destinations, favourite bands as we like festivals or football for the other half!!

Everybody has really creative ideas!

We're hoping to do movies, the idea was for us to recreate the DVD covers but may just end up photoshopping our faces on theirs as time seems to be dissapearing fast!!

What about musical genre's - jazz, Pop, RnB, Opera, Classical, Rock, Punk, Heavy Metal etc.

You could create centre pieces/favours with musical notes and cd's

Have pulled up this thread again as we are now stuck! Went to do the beaches one and didn't have enough where we had been together!! We will have been together 3 yrs when we get married and spent 2 of them saving for the wedding, so haven't been many places together!

We are going to New York for Honeymoon so thinking of New York Landmarks, although one of our guests did this for their wedding (we didn't go to it though). Another thought is movies filmed in New York, and going completely away from the New York theme, h2b has just suggested puppets from The Muppets, as we both love them!!

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated
