Reception Table Names? What's yours?

I am feeling pretty wedding burned out. The wedding fairy has run out of twinkling glitter. I thought that in order to encourge myself I would start my seating arrangements so I could at least have a head start as people start to RSVP.

As I sit here I realize that I have NO CLUE what to name my tables. Give me some examples of what you named your tables!

    These are all great :-)

    Originally I wanted to do the charaters names from Shakespear's comedies (A Mid-Summer Nights Dream, The Tempest, etc) but FH vetoed me. He felt it was too "heavy"

    We're not having any kind of assigned seating. For that matter, we only have a few tables inside and a few outside. From everything I've heard from vendors near me, most of the tables/seats are left empty anyway (unless you're serving a full meal. We're just having heavy hors d'ouevers)

    We may do names of trees that are particularly pretty in the fall. Or trees indigenous to Oklahoma. Or favorite songs. Or dates we've gone on or maybe milestones in our relationship (i.e.: First Official Date: Sushi Neko. He spilled a bowl of miso soup in her lap) but it would just be called "First Official Date" and the fun stuff would be on the table card.

    Well since he is from NYC and I'm from Philly and that is a theme we are trying to run thorugh part of the wedding we were going to take pictures in front of famous buildings in each city and name the table that city. If we are not able to get all the pictures we might do "I love you" in a different language at each table.

    I haven't decided yet, but am thinking that I'll have numbers, not names, so that people can quickly figure out the order of the numbers and find their tables. I like the idea of names but don't want to prolong the process any more than it needs to be.

    Though I may put the numbers on pictures of us, maybe from our e-session...

    We are naming all the tables after our favorite books, since we are having a "love story" theme

    Boys II Men

    Eagles

    Giants

    Mets

    Yankees

    Phillies

    Sixers

    Knicks

    Cheesesteak

    Cambell Soup

    Eli Mannig

    Michael Vick

    Will Smith

    Frank Sinatra

    SEPTA

    PATH

    Flyers

    Devils

    Mummers Parade

    Jug Handles

    Jersey Shore
