Table numbers or table names are an essential and practical element to your centerpieces. Typically, one table number or name is placed on display at the center of each table; however, I've also come across some weddings that have the table number cleverly placed at each place setting. Hanging from the backs of the chairs, on the napkin rings, attached to the menus or printed on each of the wedding favors...you'll see examples of all of these in my Picks below. The table number or name serves as a way for your guests to navigate your wedding reception area so they know where to sit. Upon arrival, your guests will immediately find the table with the table assignments or escort cards. The escort card will have your (and often times your spouse's) name and your designated table number or table name printed on it. Guests will keep their escort cards, and find their designated tables using, of course, the table numbers displayed on all of the tables. From there, guests can either choose their own seat at the table, or they will look for place cards with their names on them, instructing them on which seat at their assigned table is theirs.

Table numbers are also a great opportunity to personalize your wedding day. Rather than using table numbers, 1-5 as usual, you could choose the number of pets that you have, your first shared address or your lucky number. Or, you may go with table names instead, using your favorite movies, books, authors, songs or travel destinations. Really, as long as your numbering or naming concept can do the job of designating your various reception tables for your guests, nothing is off limits!

For this week's Picks on Paper, I spent a WHOLE LOT of time collecting photo examples of wedding reception table numbers (and sometimes table names). After sorting through nearly a hundred photos, I tried my best to categorize them by wedding style or theme. My table number picks are Desert Modern, School Spirit, Family Harvest, Imperfectly Handmade and Feminine Romance.
