Our wedding is not themed and we are struggling with table names Colour scheme is green so i did think different shades of green? Failing that im a MASSIVE dog fan but not sure we could pull that off! Any hints, tips or ideas?

different shades of your colour is a good idea, or name of stones, like emerald, etc. in this colour as well

I think i will end up with just numbers.....is that boring? Does it make people feel they are in some kind of hierachy? oh for goodness sake!!! All of this is so stressful!!!

I'm the same Elle! H2B is happy with numbers but I wanted something different - cant think of anything though!! So we're just having numbers :/
CommentAuthorLegoWife
Could do love quotes? Or the word "love" in different languages? Or just wedding related words maybe, like gown, suit, bouquet, rings etc?

Special places that mean something to you? Streets you have lived? Holiday destinations? Favourite songs/bands/films/TV/Board Games? There are loads that arent theme related - how many tables do you have? That can sometimes help narrow it down.

CommentAuthormadhen
Holly that idea is brilliant - "love" in different languages, might nick that!
H2b's cousin didn't have a theme but had Oasis songs as their table names :)
CommentAuthorElle23
Munch, we are prob only having 6 tables plus top table which im not fussed about naming (might not even have top table yet-bloomin families!) Favourite songs will be included in the wedding (entrance song, signing register, walk out, first dance etc) We are still in our first home (been here 7yrs now!) Holidays would prob be amusing, people would def feel some hierachy there!!! Mauritus, Spain, Great Yarmouth, Zakynthos, Devon & Weymouth! LOL

CommentAuthormunchkinpie
With holiday names I wouldnt worry about heirarchy - on the back of the table name put a little paragraph about dates and what you got up to on the holiday and why it was special etc - people love that kind of thing.
We are considering having songs that are being played throughout the ceremony and then on the back having song details and why we chose that song for our day etc
We cant decide on table names as everything we come up with we then cant find 8-9 names to fit but personally for us I just don't want to use numbers as I know thats when the whole family rivalry will come out lol

My OH proposed in Rome whilst we were on a city break so i am going to name my tables after famous Rome landmarks, as it is personal to the 2 of you. Have you a special place together? a holiday destination/proposal story or something? or maybe something you do together and incoroprate that?
Failing that you mentioned dogs - do you have any pets, maybe pet names past and present? Or how about just something you both like..........colours, songs, films, music or maybe just generic things like names of herbs, cocktails or sweeties?
Different 'greens' could be lovely......mint, olive, jade, emerald, lime, teal, aqua

I was going to say the same as hollhollholly. I've wrote my self a little list of idea I like. My partner used to work as a tree surgeon so he wanted to name then after differnt trees's. But I really like the idea f maning them after star constellations. I really do love this idea as I love the stars and could sit all night looking at them.
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
My h2b would probably like the idea of star constellations.
Have you seen the big thread with pages over pages of ideas? I'll bump.

Another idea could be things that are dear to the both of you - like totally random. With us this could be Star Wars, Hello Kitty, 50s, World of Warcraft, Bows, Strawberries...

we are having song names, then when they are played all the guests on that table have to get up and dance... we have the twist, the macerena,the time warp,YMCA,superman,agadoo. anymore ideas for silly dances would be great x

No-one's mentioned No. 4 and to be honest it seems like it's only my mum and grandparents who know anything about Chinese tradition (and they're on top table), the rest of us are more westernised - so I'm going to just keep my mouth shut and do the table plan then see if anyone notices! :-)
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy

Yes better keep your mouth shut :-)) - though a lot of Chinese traditions are quite common western knowledge aswell. Like 4 the unlucky number and I think 8 is the lucky number, isn't it?

I think 9 is even better but tbh I'm not exactly sure - I am such a bad Chinese!! Oops! They're only sat down for the speeches anyway so if anyone doesn't like their number they can swap seats :-)

I went to a wedding and all the tables were named after dogs they had previously owned......it was a nice touch

we arent having a themed wedding...so, we had chosen colours until we were told there was 6 more tables than we'd originally thought and its really hard to come up with 15 colours lol! so we have given the tables chocolate bars names and are having a mini chocolate bar (matching their table) in their place :-) xxx

We're not having a themed wedding either.. but we're going to name our tables after the places we visited/stayed whilst travelling America for 2 months last summer! Just because it is special to us :)
CommentAuthorHelenW
how about a bit of trivia? songs that were number one the year you were engaged/first got together? Then could get the people on the table to work out how long that song was at number one or who sang it etc? depends what is important to you both? We are both big movie lovers so will prob have film names or something similar..

CommentAuthorInDreamland
How about either all the places you have both visited together?
Or .........
My sister and BIL had Film Titles from the two years that they were born so they split the number of tables equally between them, researched movies released on the years they were born and named the tables after them. It worked out perfectly.

I think numbers would be fine if you dont have a theme..............Ive seen some gorjus wooden numbers inside a heart that would look stunning, might be expensive tho depending how mny tables you have as there were £4 each! If you really didnt want number s tho I agree with the girls, names of your colours would be fab.....you could switch it up a bit and do names of your colours in different languages??
The best one Ive heard was the couple named all their tables after girls names and at the meal they annouched that they were expecting their first child a little girl and the names of the tables were the names they liked........I thought that was AWESOME! But I refuse to get pregnant so we can do it lmao so we are having names of romantic roses instead hehehe

Our theme is hearts and we were going to have names of sweets for the tables with Love Hearts being the top table of course. Now it's totally changed from being romantic to game console names! :/
