Don’t forget about your table numbers! If you do, you may end up with the venue’s standard fare, which may look something along the lines of this:
While there is nothing wrong with these, they are just a bit… utilitarian. (But if your venue has nicer framed table numbers, then score!) TIP: The easiest thing to do is to use the venue’s existing holder, stand or frame, and then insert your own number that matches your color scheme.
One popular trend these days is to name your tables after locations, such as places you’ve been to as a couple, famous local landmarks, or perhaps even your favorite books or movies. But here’s another TIP: Also assign that table a number. That will make it SO much easier and faster for guests to find their table, and just as importantly, for your caterer and their wait staff to find their way around.
Here are other ways to still simply number your tables the old fashion way, but adding a unique twist to the display:

SO cute! I love all of these ideas, but I especially adore the book.
These ideas are so creative! Its nice to see so many great ideas in 1 place!
We used the numbers that the venue provided (so guests could find them easily), but also named each table after our favorite places on campus at our alma mater … with a silly picture of our dog included. It was very us!
