I can send you a link -(love my links) but I thnk most use A6 size hun xx

I agree I wont be using numbers - a bit worried some of my family or friends will feel pu out if they are on table 8

I dont think it would matter if you use a6, a5 or a4. Depends how prominent you want them and how big your tables are I guess. xx

Yes I can picture exactly which ones in my family would too! Woe betide me if I stick my sister in law at any table lower than the top 2! A few port and lemons and shed make me well aware of my mistake. lol xx

Over rule him on the football front (my h2b wants arsenal) If you are having a vintage tea party which sounds lush have yu thought about names of speciality teas ie earl grey, assam, ceylon etc... xx

Very nice idea, i like it a lot! So excited thinking about it all coming together and actually little details like that makes it more vivid in my mind. We are going to collect cake stands to put our sandwiches and cakes on, and with my tea favours that would look great, you have talked me round very easily, lol. x

lol gregorys girl, hilrious!! i have no idea what to name our tables, as we dont have a specific theme other than the colour but i know i dont want numbers! oh well i have a while to think about it! x
as for the questio, i think it depends on how big you want the display to be! 8 tables of 14 would make an enormous display!

I dont want numbers either. for the fact as u girls say upsetting family members but also i think it seems a little cold just have table 1, 2, 3 ect. we are between my h2b choice of naming them fish lol not my choice he is a keen fisherman. or my idea which sounds really daft but is personal and call them street names. long story but my h2b took me out on our first date to find post boxes (he a postman). He had a new duty to start the following day so we went out looking for the post boxes. I knew all the roads he needed and he thought it was brilliant (i think thats what swang it for me lol) him not knowing it was the area my brother lived so was only reason i knew the names of the streets cause otherwise i dont know anywhere. Must be love for me to still be with him after taking me to find post boxes on our first date :)

Thanks Hails, loving the lovebirds cake stand, will look nice seeing as i have all those bird cage centrepieces too!
That is a cute story mrswalker2b and would go for that rather than the fish, lol. A good talking point for all your guests too!
It might seem a while TotallyLovedUp but the time goes by really quickly, so no harm in planning now, lol. x

Were having table names and I have just decided today after intense googling for our theme instead of street names to name them after French chateaux/palaces to tie in to our vintage French theme x

Maybe if I wrote SOUR OLD TROUT it may make the penny drop. (-: xx

We've having the names of lakes in the lake district as that's where we got engaged x

ouch, I'd be thinking up some smart come backs if that was me

She sounds like a right cow Stevie_Dee, you must have the patience of a saint as I would have punched her out with those comments!
That is lovely Mrs Hinch 2B, very romantic. x

I know how to get back at her v easy - she used to go with her friend to London to hit the nightclubs where the footballers went - she doesnt like that brought up now, so if she really annoys me I just call her wag wannabe, sometimes under my breath so only she can hear. It always does the trick. xx

I'm making mine A6 as they are big enough for people to see without them getting in the way of people talking to each other etc as by the time they are on the stands that the venue supply they will be pretty high up as they are.

I'm not having a top table and I'm going to place ourselves on table number 5 so it shows that the table numbers have no relevance to the importance of guests.

What is everyone attaching the table names to? I am not sure that they will look right sitting on top of my bird cages, and hanging them inside will require them to strain to see them I think. I am a bit worried that the table will start to look overly fussy if I start adding extra bits and pieces. x

We have little stands with hearts on to put them in that i got from the bay 10 for £4 :-)

ikkier sell the wooden photo frames for cheapo cheapo, in packs of 4. Then you could paint them to match in with your theme...

Hailstone do you think u could send me a link to it?

we are having a buffet too, but thinking on it, we are having 60 guests and that is plenty enough for them to be taking a while to find seats without a table planner/cards etc. they will all want to sit with people they know and i want them to mingle more.

We're having just over 100 day time guests and although I'd love the 2 families to mingle I just can't see it happening until later on and I don't want people to feel awkward throughout the meal. I am just going to sit people who know each other together, I know it's not traditional but to be honest, not a lot of my wedding is. lol. xxx

I know my side of the family would be fine with making friends but I don't know Neil's family and in a way our wedding will be like a reunion as the family have been split up for such a long time (over something so silly) and I think the wedding breakfast would give them a chance for a proper chat.
You are right though, it's whatever we're happy with :) xxx
