1) Love Story Moments

Celebrate your journey as a couple by naming your wedding tables after significant milestones in your relationship. Consider names like First Date, Proposal, First Holiday and Engagement Party and on the reverse include the dates of these specials moments along with a short story about each one.

2) Favourite Places

Add a touch of wanderlust to your wedding and get your guests traveling the world through your table names by naming them after your favourite destinations or places you have visited together. You can include dates of when you traveled there and stories about your journey to give your guests a talking point. Other destination ideas include your favourite restaurants, sports stadiums or even music venues.

3) Hobbies & Interests

Highlight your shared hobbies or interests by naming your wedding tables after them. Whether it's football teams, recipes you like cooking, flowers, theme parks, Disney characters or board games, this personal touch can create a fun and engaging atmosphere for your guests.

For my own wedding we used Mythical Creatures inspired by Harry Potter and included a description of each creature on the bottom of the table names to add interest and spark conversation between our guests!

4) Book Titles, TV Series or Movie Themes

If you and your partner share a love for literature, TV or movies then why not consider naming your wedding tables after your favourite authors, books, series or films. Whether you are huge Harry Potter fans and name your tables after magical creatures (like I did) or are Game Of Thrones buffs who want a House name for every table, let your passions shine through with your table names! This wedding table name idea can spark interesting conversations among guests who share your passions or get them guessing what the connection is!

5) Song Titles or Lyrics

Music often plays a significant role in a couple's love story and using this as inspiration for naming tables after your favourite songs, song lyrics or bands is a great idea to add a personal touch to your wedding stationery. Maybe you are concert enthusiasts, so another idea would be to name table after your favourite music venues!

6) Zodiac Signs or Constellations

For couples who have a love for astrology or are planning a celestial themed wedding, consider naming your wedding tables with different zodiac signs or constellations. You could even personalise each table name with traits or fun facts about the signs or constellations, sparking conversation among your guests and tying in beautifully with your theme.
