    hi everyone :)

    just seeing if people think this idea is too much or over the top.....
    Our colour theme is cadbury's purple and white and we have two little kiddies (5 + 18months) so we thought a sweet buffet table would be fab and to have some 'cadbury' chocolate bars on it. what with having all the sweets on the table weve decided not to do favours but was thinking of naming our tables after the sweets that are in our buffet then have 2or3 favour buckets on the tables with that sweet on!
    is that a bit over the top with the sweets/cadbury theme??? xx

    (just thought it was a fun way to involve kiddies..me being the biggest kid of all lol)

    Naming Tables is a great idea. I also think it saves guests being offended at their table number, for example someone at table 6 might feel they have been put there because they are less important. I want to name my table but havnt a clue what theme to go with xx

    That's a brilliant idea - but would mean my first love would be all over our wedding... I love chocolate lol

    I was thinking, with having an autumn wedding, we'd have leaves on the tables (false obviously) and names of trees for tables... chocolate sounds so much more interesting!

    I think that's a 'sweet' idea ;-)))

    We're having Dorset coast names for our tables:

    Weymouth
    Kimmeridge
    Poole
    Swanage

    etc etc. My h2b comes from Poole and these are all places we love to visit together!

    He's a fantastic landscape photographer so as well as having a name, it will also have a photograph of the place too.

    i went to a wedding a couple of years ago that i had been out with the bride shopping for favours when i said ohhhhhh look you could have a walnut whip table ...after falling about laughing at the naughty aspect of my comments this is what she did ...

    she put cake stands in the middle of the tables with one type of sweet on in .....eg , walnut whips...curlywurlys....tootiefrootie etc ... and during the reception people were going from table to table "swoping sweets" it was fantastic and got everyone chatting

    I love this idea, especially the buckets of chocolate on each table! I personally would be in chocolate heaven!

    And I like the idea of swapping sweets! Especially if you have a little prize for the most mixed up bucket of sweets, or make a little trivia between tables where the winning table gets to 'steal a sweetie' from another table and the prize goes to whoever has the most sweets?

    Either way. BEST. CHOCOLATE-RELATED. IDEA :D

    No go for it! We are having cadburys purple and chocolate table names and probably celebrations as favours. We love chocolate so thought it was quite fitting :) x
