Table Names - Winter Wedding (not Christmas though!)

Buzzee, 8 August, 2011 at 14:38 Posted on Planning 0 6

Didn't want to hijack the other thread so just wondered if anyone has any ideas for table names for winter weddings (not Christmas or NY related though). Have (through google) found winter plants as an ideas, but not keen on that option. i thought different names of snowflakes could be good, but all the names are quite ugly i.e simple prisms/sectored plates/hollow columns - not really feeling that!!

i also thought naming the (wedding breakfast) tables after breakfast items could be a goer, but not sure if people will "get it" and sitting on "table sausage" doesn't really sound very glam!

for some reason this is the one area that i'm finding tricky! i think its because we don't have a theme as such!

    Have you or OH got a shared hobby or interest with an interesting list of names you could use. OH and I do a fair amount of hillwalking so our names are tors, and we considered mountains we've climbed.

    Ski resorts, if you like skiiing.

    A friend took hers from the follies around her venue - we were on Temple of Venus

    Could you have Wintery names - Snow, Frost, Ice, Snowflake, Icicle...?

    Winter animals - Penguins, Polar Bears, Arctic Fox...

    Snow covered mountain ranges? Ski Resorts?

    Found this on a google search:

    How about different 'eskimo' words for snow? Here are some examples:

    This is Alaskan Yupik:

    A. Snow particles

    (1) Snowflake
    qanuk 'snowflake'
    qanir- 'to snow'
    qanunge- 'to snow' [NUN]
    qanugglir- 'to snow' [NUN]

    (2) Frost
    kaneq 'frost'
    kaner- 'be frosty/frost sth.'

    (3) Fine snow/rain particles
    kanevvluk 'fine snow/rain particles
    kanevcir- to get fine snow/rain particles

    (4) Drifting particles
    natquik 'drifting snow/etc'
    natqu(v)igte- 'for snow/etc. to drift along ground'

    (5) Clinging particles
    nevluk 'clinging debris/
    nevlugte- 'have clinging debris/...'lint/snow/dirt...'

    B. Fallen snow

    (6) Fallen snow on the ground
    aniu [NS] 'snow on ground'
    aniu- [NS] 'get snow on ground'
    apun [NS] 'snow on ground'
    qanikcaq 'snow on ground'
    qanikcir- 'get snow on ground'

    (7) Soft, deep fallen snow on the ground
    muruaneq 'soft deep snow'

    ( Crust on fallen snow
    qetrar- [NSU] 'for snow to crust'
    qerretrar- [NSU] 'for snow to crust'

    (9) Fresh fallen snow on the ground
    nutaryuk 'fresh snow' [HBC]

    (10) Fallen snow floating on water
    qanisqineq 'snow floating on water'

    C. Snow formations

    (11) Snow bank
    qengaruk 'snow bank' [Y, HBC]

    (12) Snow block
    utvak 'snow carved in block'

    (13) Snow cornice
    navcaq [NSU] 'snow cornice, snow (formation) about to collapse'
    navcite- 'get caught in an avalanche'

    D. Meterological events

    (14) Blizzard, snowstorm
    pirta 'blizzard, snowstorm'
    pircir- 'to blizzard'
    pirtuk 'blizzard, snowstorm'

    (15) Severe blizzard
    cellallir-, cellarrlir- 'to snow heavily'
    pir(e)t(e)pag- 'to blizzard severely'
    pirrelvag- 'to blizzard severely'

    And these are Umingmaktormuit Inuit dialect:

    akuvijarjuak = thin ice in the sea; anijo = snow on the ground; hiko = ice (generic expression); hikuliaq = thin ice

    ivuneq = high pack ice; kaniktshaq = snow (generic expression); kanut = fresh snow without any ice; kuhugaq = icicle

    manelaq = pack ice; maneraq = smooth ice (for the skating fans ; nahauliq = snow bunting; nilak = freshwater ice

    peqalujaq = rather old ice; pugtaq = drift ice; qanik = falling snow; quahak = fresh ice without any snow

    tsikut = large broken-up masses of ice blocks; tugartaq = firm, winter ice

    How about 'snow' in different languages? Or winter sports? Or winter clothing - wellies, gloves, scarf, hat etc?

    Or you could take inspiration from your venue rather than seasons. Our tables are named after different beers that the brewery produces - we were originally going to have names of ports we would be visitng on our honeymoon cruise though.

    What about names for different winter-type festivals? Or after things that happened on your wedding date - for example did you know that 25th September is the birthday of Felicity Kendal?! lol

    So, for example, and you'll forgive me that I can't remember the exact date, but for 30th December you could have:

    Kipling; Ullman; Diddley; Woods; Titus; Croft etc lol

    I like the suggestion above for wellies/scarves/mittens etc.

    I thought maybe films set in winter time or with snow in it? i.e. Bridget Jones, Alive, New in Town etc.

    Maybe think of cities that get snowy in the winter and have pics of them on the tables as snow scenes i.e. Paris, Prague, Berlin etc.

    Is there anything round your venue you could use? Our venue is near several waterfalls, so we're naming our tables after them. Someone else on here (AJ?) is using the names of trees near their venue.
