Name that table!


Why just stick with boring old table numbers when you can personalize your tables with names that have meaning to you and your fiance? Choose anything from movies you've seen together to places you've traveled. So the question is... what should you name the tables? Start by thinking about where and how you met. Perhaps you met at college- you could name each table after a building on campus. When my hubby and I were deciding on what to name our tables it was pretty easy. We were both collegiate cheerleaders and met teaching cheerleading camps... so it was an obvious choice when we decided to use the name of co-ed cheerleading stunts as our table names. To go along with these, my lovely little sis came over and took pics of us doing each of the stunt to accompany the name. On the back of each card we wrote the story of how we met and how cheerleading brought us together. Our guests loved it and it was a wonderful way to put a personal touch at each table.


While naming tables can be a unique touch, it can also get confusing for your guests if they go looking for table "Torch" so be sure to add a number along with each table name so guests can still easily find their tables. To help our guests find their tables we used the wording:


Mr. and Mrs. John Doe

You are seated at Table 9: "Cupie"


Anyone else plan on using table names? Share your ideas!

We both have a love for Jazz music. Our tables will be named after famous old African American Jazz Legends. Examples are: Nina Simone, Cab Calloway, Dizzy Gillespie, etc. I'm in the process of looking for pictures of all of my choices.
