Wedding Table Names and Wedding Place Cards
Many couples now decide to name the tables at their wedding reception, instead of using a simple numbering system. There are many reasons for this, but one very important one is that a numbering system can sometimes unfortunately induce overtones of a hierarchy system, with those on table one being the most important guests and those on higher numbers the least important.
Many people choose wedding table names that mean something too them; perhaps places they have visited over the years, favourite poets, or even funny anecdotes or family stories. Doing it this way is a great way to interact with your special guests and can be a real talking point, especially if the guests who are sitting together have not met before.
Once your table names are decided upon, you can purchase matching wedding place cards. This allows you to organise your seating arrangements perfectly, and keep the theme of your wedding along the same lines as the rest of your wedding stationery, such as the invitations and save the date cards. Place cards can be popped onto the seat place in order to avoid confusion after the guests have initially looked at the table plan at the entrance to the wedding reception.
Using table place names you can also decide who you want to seat together so can avoid potential conflicts of personality and so make the day run as smoothly as possible.
