Table Number Idea

Jessica M., on December 2, 2011 at 12:19 PM Posted in Planning 0 32

So, I have had my heart set on naming our tables after places that mean something to us.

But, I have been tossing around possible guest book ideas - I haven't been sold on anything yet....until now!!

I saw an idea of having a notebook on each table that serves as a guest book & the table number. Table #7 would sign the guestbook and it would say "Messages for the bride & groom to read on their 7th anniversary"

Has anyone seen this done?? What do you think??

    I saw that and thought it was so-o cute!!!

    I find that table numbers are the only thing I am indecisive on... Last night I had an epiphany that I want to get a buncha frames from the dollar store, spray paint them and have pictures of flowers. Table flowers instead of numbers- very me- and guests would sit at table rose not table 7....

    Yeah I never wanted it to just say "7"...that's the only thing I knew!

    I didn't want numbers, but these books have me thinking....

    That's an awesome idea! I'm not sure I would use a notebook because people will probably not write that much, but the concept is adorable.

    I would suggest scrap book pages with the titles on them. Then you can collect all the pages and put them in a book.

    I thought about labeling my tables candy names instead of numbers to tie into the candy buffet. I like the idea of getting creative with table numbering.

    That's exactly what I will be doing, here is my inspiration: http://pinterest.com/pin/208221182741244217/

    I'll be using a pretty ivory cardstock with a slight design, printing off the words and then using black glitter for the #. Inside will be regular paper, just a few sheets.

    That's what I was thinking of doing :-) (found it on pinterest too)

    The original idea (also from Pinterest) was to have pictures of us at the age that corresponded to the table number, but since my FH immigrated here he doesn't have a lot of childhood photos (so my sister and MOH is using the idea for her wedding instead)

    I was totally SET on not having numbers as well. I wanted to name the tables after places in Boston. However for various reasons we ended up going with numbers, BUT instead of just the number the tables are:

    1ne

    2wo

    3hree

    4our... etc... so its a little more fun than just regular numbers! Smiley smile

    You could do something like that on the front of your notebooks! I think that idea sounds really fun! Good luck!

    I didn't just want to do regular table numbers either. When we had our engagement pictures done I made different card stock numbers for us to hold. So our engagement pictures will double as table numbers.
