What do I name the tables at my wedding? This is a question that I hear so many times and how hard it is to think of something other than just numbers, fear not this blog post is for you.
Firstly take a moment to remember that your wedding is all about you, a union to join two souls together in a celebration that reflects their interests and personalities.
Now that you have done that, what is it you would like to reflect about yourselves as the table names and in your decor. Do you want to have names or things that encourage your table guests to talk, a little trip down memory lane or let your guests see inside your creative mind.
So here are a few suggestions to get you started, it is by no means an exhaustive list. Hopefully it helps to ignite a little spark for you.
1- Books and Authors, that you have read or would like to read, or a series of titles.
2- Places you have visited together or plan to travel to, or family and friends hometowns.
3- Puddings that are your favourite to devour.
