Reception Table Names

Yesterday someone on WB started a thread about creative table names, instead of just numbering them.

OP: Other than numbering the guest tables... what are some other ways you are organizing your tables! I hear things like pet names, states, pictures...

 Replies:

• We are either going to do places that are special to us or names of Nascar speedways (since we are avid race fans and he races at our local track)
• The words Love or Marriage in different  languages. Or words that are based on love/marriage eg. forever, happiness. always, future, hope, everlasting etc
• We are using song titles that will be for sure played throughout the night - songs that we love or have some sort of meaning to us.
• We also did song titles, and since we had a buffet the dj played clips from the songs to dismiss the tables.  The dj picked out all the song titles (all love songs) so we didn't have to do that work
• i heard of someone doing famous composers once
• We are getting married in the Adirondack Park here in New York State (upstate in the mountains not NYC) and we are going to use the name of some of the high peaks.
• Our wedding is a wine theme and I considered different wine but I'm going with numbers.
• were thinking of doing places/dates that we've been on then at the table will have a little story about it... for example one table name will be "Castle Fun Park" then at the table it will have in big letters "Castle Fun Park" then a little blurb underneath it explaining how that was the place we went mini golfing at for our first date. special places like that.
• we are huge baseball fans so we are using the names of different baseball parks for table names
