    I did a search and read through all the comments, but they didn't answer my question.

    On my tables I've got;
    - Candelabra centre pieces with mirrors,
    - Scatter crystals,
    - Organza favour bags with fillings,
    - Black and white disposable cameras,
    - Trivia boxes to get people chatting,
    - Gem shaped bubbles,
    - Menu,
    - Place names and table name, and,
    - Usual cutlery and crockery.

    Does that seem ok? Am I missing anything?

    Ladies who have already got married - did you find most things got left or were people annoyed that the tables were too cluttered?

    All advice welcome! x

    No, we're not having table runners. Didn't think about them to be honest as our tables are round and didn't want to 'split' the table.

    You dont want too much on there so ppl cant move, so i think that sounds fab hun.

    I have
    - Black table runners with black lily vases and red roses,
    - Clear scatter crystals on the table runners,
    - Black favour boxes with silver mirrors and mini hip flasks in,
    - Trivia boxes,
    - Perspex menu,
    - Place names attached to a rose in a napkin
    - Table name
    - Jug of water

    we might have 2 table runners per table....not sure yet!

    On our tables we had

    Glass Fishbowls with rose floating inside (on a mirrored plate)
    Heart confetti
    Favour boxes
    Ivory disposable cameras
    Menu
    Place names, table name
    Usual cutlery and crockery and napkin in star shape.

    And to be honest that was plenty as we also had jugs of orange juice and water on the tables too. (see pic)

    I dont think you have missed anything other than napkins which I am sure you have included in the cutlery bit. xx

    Its just an added extra that you can use to bring a bit of colour to your table but you dont need to have one. xx

    Thanks everyone. The table runner looks lovely, but I didn't want one as I wouldn't know which direction to place them and as my tables are half my family, half his, I didn't want a divide.

    One more job ticked off the list!

    We're putting all the things for one table in a box so that it's easier for the venue to dress each table. In our boxes we have:
    Centrepieces
    Place names
    Table names and holders
    Favours
    Mock up of what the table should look like (where things go)
    Plan of who sits where
