Table names

stressybride, 27 May, 2011 at 16:03 Posted on Planning 0 14

Hi guys

with 2 months to go to my wedding I still have no clue what to do about table names.

My partner came up with idea of things that go together i.e the top table would be love and marriage, other ones would be strawberrys and cream, wishes and stars (my favourite one) dancing and moonlight. But that's about as far as we got!! we have 10 tables and we are totally stuck. If anyone has any suggestions I would be so gratefull

    As we don't have a 'theme' as such, we're thinking of having each table named after a breakfast item (seeing as it is the Wedding Breakfast!). So potentials include 'The Full English', 'The Fruit Salads', 'The Sausage McMuffins' etc but not sure if that is a bit naff!

    Hmm, I'm not sure I'd get theme from those - they are a little vague (and I don't always think of cream with strawberries, with peaches maybe...). It needs to be a little more defined. If it were applied to my theme, it would be things that go together that are song titles. Maybe without the strawberries one, you've got the "romance" thing going on. Horse and carriage? (That's following the lyrics of Love and Marriage!) and a bit weddingy.

    Do you have a theme for any other part of your day?

    My friend had famous couples (that are still together!) which included fictional characters as well. I thought that was a lovely idea.

    I'm naming my tables after who is on them e.g. bridesmaids, oldies, The Browns etc etc etc

    Well i am planning on having all of our tables to be named after Disney films. after all they were what i watched when i was growing up! my favourite was beauty and the beast so that will be mine and my partners wedding table name. so i suggest you think of all of your favourite movies and name the tables after them. i have 13 tables so its a very difficult task but if i can't find all names for them tables i will have to do my favourite movies not just disney ones.

    Ours is a christmassy winter wedding so probably have the names of the reindeer Smiley smile not sure what else . I like the ideas of stars and wishes .... you could have hopes and dreams? Hearts and Bows? Rainbows and butterflys ? Sunshine haze and Winter cuddles ? Trust and Honesty ? Dance and sing? Love and live? ... I like the idea of words that are happy and inspirational. You could google inspirational words.

    Poeple have alsorts of different names, ive seen people have favourite shows such as cats, oliver etc... or films, couples, colours, flowers or places that relate to you and H2B like places you have been ... foods you like ... books you read .... pet names Smiley winking .

    Hope this helps xxx

    We are calling ours after names of Oasis songs. We are big fans (H2B the biggest) and wonderwall (ryan adams version) is our first song

    The top table will be wonder wall and some others will be Rock & Roll star, roll with it, stand by me, etc

    Given that our wedding is in the New Forest, we've named our tables after trees, starting with Oak for the top table (being the typical 'english' tree), with Sycamore, Beech, Pine, Ash and Elm for the wb.

    We haven't yet decided if we're going to "name" the evening guest tables, as it's a 'sit where you like' effort, but if we do they'll probably be other New Forest related things such as fox, badger, pony, deer etc. Probably not use "cattle grid" though...
