If you choose to have a seating chart at your wedding, you will need to label the tables. Although numbers are the classic choice and easily identify tables, some brides are looking for a more distinctive and creative idea. There are many alternatives. Some are basic and require little preparation while others can double as centerpieces but are more involved. Here are a few ideas to personalize your table labels.
Personal Memories
Consider using personal mementos of your relationship to label the tables. Kathleen Murray, at theknot.com, makes some suggestions. "Name the tables after your first, second, third, etc., date spots. Or group them by your all-time favorite movies, mountains you've climbed together, or neighborhoods in which you've lived. Take the idea up a notch and gather the best photos of the two of you from different points in your life and relationship and create table cards for each memory. On the back, write where you both are, your ages, why you're there, and what you could have been thinking at the time." If you choose to use photos to identify each table, you can incorporate the photos into your centerpiece.
Words
Identify each table with a quote that is meaningful to you and your spouse. On one side of decorative paper, type or write the quote. Then underline one word. On the other side of the paper, write just the underlined word. Guests will identify their table by the underlined word. Set up the decorative paper so that both the quote and single word are easily visible.
Thematic Connections
Some weddings have themes, and if yours does, you can tie your table names into the theme of your wedding. Charli Penn, at the weddingchannel.com, suggests that if your theme is Old Hollywood, "use classic movie titles for your table names."
