table names

[northeastmom]

I know that there was a thread about this before but I can't find it. I was wondering what names you used for the table? I don't want to just put numbers on the table. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks

We are only having four guest tables. we are going to use Disney movies. We chose cinderella, pirates of the caribbean, toy story and the jungle book. Each table will have movie related centerpiece and a coordinating linen color, i.e. cinderella will be light blue. good luck with your plans:goodvibes

I also only have four tables, including our sweetheart table. We are thinking about doing Disney couples, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Ariel and Eric, Belle and the beast and Rose and Prince Phillip. But, I too would be interested to see what others are using as this is not definate. DF wants to do 'lost' charatcters, but the more unknown ones like jeremy bentham!

[Kim1167]

We had 7 tables - I used disney couples!

Mickey and Minnie, Beauty and the beast, Lady and the tramp, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Pongo and Perdita, Donald and Daisy, Alladin and Jasmine,

There are many others though, as you know!

I love the idea of Disney couples, also very romantic.

Mt friends met each other at Epcot and the groom had previously lived in Italy, so they used the names of the World Showcase countries in Italian! My friend's DH wouldn't allow character names becuse he thought it sounded like parking lots - despite all of us saying otherwise!

We have twelve tables, including the head table. Since my wedding is on Dec. 13, my tables are named after presents in the "12 Days of Christmas" song.

What a cute idea!!!!

We were going to do numbers, but for our ages with pictures of us at that age... like table 1 would have pics of us at age 1, table 2 would have pics of us at age 2, and so on... Although I don't think DF is going to be able to find enough pics, so I need another idea!

since our reception will be in italy we are doing different italian cities.

What a cute idea!!!!


Thank you! :goodvibes I was trying to think of something cute, like places that are special to us, streets, cities, etc. Then I thought, it's Christmas, not? :santa:

[Princesskeyblade]

We are doing names of fairytales, and our centerpieces will be coordinated with the table names!

[keenercam]

We are doing numbers, but not sequential and not starting at "1" -- instead our numbers are of significance, like the month we met (10) and got married (12) and the year we met (82) and got married (84). Our sweetheart table is numbered "143" which is our "code" for I LOVE YOU!

[MegKate]

We originally were going to name them after states we lived in, but now that we've gone from Escape to Wishes, we're going to name them after cities that we've lived in - Rob - Portsmouth, Rye and Caribou. ME - Worcester, Auburn, Lubbock and Limestone.

[nickandlarisa]

I don't have any ideas yet but definitely subscribing to see what everyone else comes up with!!! We are having 13-16 tables.

Love the 12 days of Christmas idea!!! So creative and fun and perfect for your date! Maybe I can do Christmas in July :santa: , haha, just kidding. Keep the ideas coming!!!

That's a fab idea - I love it!!

I think there might have to be some guessing at how old we are in certain photos though if we tried this...

This thread got me thinking, and this might be similar to what you are talking about (btw, I would love to hear about your centerpiece ideas). So, our theme is "old world fairytale" and I have seen these beautifully illustrated books of classic fairytales.

So, thinking out loud here ... we could have the tables named after fairytales and have a book on display on each table somehow to indicate which table it is. Also, I think on the place cards instead of outright saying "Cinderella Table" there would be a clue, a pretty obvious one like mention a glass slipper, from that tale that would direct people to the correct table. Not sure how the books on the tables would work with our centerpieces, but its the start of an idea ...

[goodmorningirl]

maybe you could lay the book on the table and depending on the centerpieces, put those on top of the book. I dunno that's just what I kinda see. :)

We named our tables after buildings at our schools where we met. One was Le Mans Hall and another was Morrissey Manor, along with pictures of each building. Our schools are very old so the architecture of the buildings is beautiful and the pictures turned out really nice. I think there are pictures of our table names in my blog somewhere.

We had 4 tables and named them after the school houses at Hogwarts from Harry Potter: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Our head table was platform 9 3/4. Strange maybe but I love Harry Potter and I didn't want anything traditional.

That's awesome Melissa! I, too, am a HUGE HP fan! Love your idea! :goodvibes

Before we decided to move the wedding to a small venue in Vegas, we had decided to name the tables after rock and roll bands. We picked bands that fit those guests seated at the table. My Mom's was "Queen", my work friends would be "Motley Crew", etc We were then going to make "LP" Covers and incorporate them with the centerpieces. Name cards were going to be back stage passes for the band (creative but we never came to a conclusion on how we were going to pull it off)

I am going to miss my rock and roll wedding but we'll party like rock stars in Vegas instead and I'm really happy that we saved the money for our disneymoon instead!

I love your idea! We are just doing the name. My DF is designing the table names. We are also designing scrolls that will be laid on the table with the stories written on them. (We have more tables than princesses so we are using some fairytales that are not well known too). The cennterpieces are so much fun to think about. For example: The parents table is going to be "Cinderella", and their centerpiece will be the glass slipper on a silk pillow surrounded by orange rose petals and hurricane candles. My DF and I will come up with the name of our own fairytale as our table's name and our centerpiece will have to do with our favorite things or things that were signifigant from our dating/engaged time.

Out of curiosity..... where did you find those books? I would love to give them as part of my bridesmaid gifts!

Amazon ... if you search the artist K.Y. Craft they should come right up. I would love to see your scrolls!! Are you writing an abbreviated version of the stories yourself, or did you find a short version somewhere to copy???

I can't wait to see the finished product too....:goodvibes DF is a graphic designer, so he did some brainstorming and thought of the scroll idea. DF and I are going to write them as if we were telling the story as a bedtime story so it will be somewhat abreviated. We already did Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.

I have to say I agree with the friend. Disney couples, attractions, countries in EPCOT, would be fine but since you brought it up I would think of parking areas ifyou used single characters.

These are all so creative! ;) I was thinking about doing our favorite rides from different theme parks (especially since we met at Busch Gardens in Tampa).
