Nancy and Scott Jones: Please Report to the Labrador Table

We’ve all seen those photos of the bride, groom and their cutely-dressed ringbearer pooch. For the dog-loving couple choosing to include their four-legged friend on their special day; wouldn’t it be a fun choice to extend that love to the reception? Instead of tables 1-15, direct guests to the Labrador, Poodle, Spaniel, Corgi table….you get the idea.

  • Ski trails - to demonstrate a shared hobby of the outdoorsy, active couple.
  • Countries - places that the couple have visited together.
  • Legendary musicians – favorites of the music lovers.
  • Sports teams – but beware of those Red Sox/Yankee table food fights!
  • Home town street names – especially fun for the couple who grew up together, and for guests familiar with that town.
  • Constellations, flower names, theme-based items  pick a group of items that go along with your wedding theme or style.

There are endless options for reception table naming.  Why not give those tired numbers a rest and start brainstorming? Creating unexpected table names will add character to your wedding and provide a good conversation starter for your guests.
