Why sit at table 7 when you can sit at The White House?

How to take your table signs from boring to endearing.
Latest DBG article

If you haven’t already been able to tell, I’m all for personalizing your wedding to reflect the lucky couples’ interests and love story.  So instead of the boring table numbers for your dinner guests, why don’t we name the tables after some of your favorite things, hobbies, or something unique about your wedding destination.
For my wedding we named our tables after our favorite restaurants and bars. We had everything from the restaurant we got engaged at to our favorite college bars. Our guests also enjoyed the tables we picked for them, with his parents sitting at the table where they threw the rehearsal dinner at and friends sitting at a table of the bar they spent their 21st birthday at.
Table names are also a great conversation starter. You may overhear “I never knew Jackie and Bill had traveled to Paris” to “I remember when Matt took Allison to see The Notebook for their second date.”
If you are looking to score bonus points on this project, you can always give a story or an explanation about this table name, and display it in a little frame on the table or separately near the seating chart.
The sky’s the limit for what you can name your tables but here are a few ideas and don’t forget to add things that are romantic or relevant to your relationship;
▪Restaurants/ Bars
▪ Movies/ Tv Shows/ Books/Songs
▪ Famous (happy) Couples
▪Dates you have gone on
▪Cities
▪Love in different languages
▪Flowers
▪ Different kinds of fish, birds, animals etc
▪Famous destinations in your venue’s city. For D.C. you can list different monuments and sites.
▪Unique attributes about your venue. If it’s at the beach you can use different kinds of shells, at a vineyard you can do different wines.
Please share with us if you have done this for your tables and send pictures!
Happy Sunday!
