If you already know the best tips for organizing the tables at your wedding banquet and have a clear idea of the table arrangements for your wedding banquet, now you just need to choose the names for the wedding tables.
So, if you want a wedding that is as original, personalized, fun, and special as possible, in this article, we’ll help you get inspired to name your wedding tables. This can be a very enjoyable task among all the preparations!
Without further ado… here are a bunch of super original ideas that will delight all your guests.
And you, which one would you choose?
1. Honeymoon destinations
For this idea, it’s important not to reveal anything to your guests about your much-awaited trip from the moment you announce your engagement until the “I do.” If you keep the destination of your first trip as newlyweds a secret, naming each table after a destination can be a lot of fun.
2. Common hobbies
Your guests know you perfectly. They will surely be surprised when they arrive at the wedding banquet and find a table named “trains” if you both love model railroading, or “tennis” if you both enjoy playing this sport, or “stamps” if you collect them. There are many hobbies, so it’s a good idea to have your guests remember the things that you both are passionate about.
3. Favorite books
If you are literature lovers, this idea is for you. Why not name each table after a beautiful poem or the books you have read? It will be interesting to see your loved ones reading these poems, especially because some of them will have special meaning for you.
4. Movies and TV shows
More and more couples are opting for this option as it allows them to express their tastes in a very creative way. You can use the original names of your favorite movies, names of superheroes, classic children’s movies, movie genres (drama, comedy, horror), or fictional places like the houses in “Game of Thrones.” You can even use the wedding cake topper to feature the characters from your chosen titles.
5. Songs
Surely you want many of the songs that will play on your wedding night to be your favorites. Why not name each table at the wedding banquet after your favorite songs? You can put the song that you have enjoyed the most together at the table of your best friends, the song you loved during childhood at your parents’ table, and the song you sang together in your hometown at the table of your cousins.
6. Nature
If you are nature lovers, enjoy the mountains and the sea, or even have knowledge about plants, this could be your idea! Name your wedding tables after your favorite trees, flowers, or plants, or the favorite beaches, rivers, and mountains. This is a particularly ideal choice if your wedding is eco-friendly, taking place in a forest or outdoors, for example.
7. Fauna
If you love animals, it would be perfect to name the tables after bird species, dog breeds, or wild animals. And if you have chosen a rustic style or a country wedding decoration, these table markers will further help create a wild and natural ambiance around the wedding banquet.
8. Sky and Earth
Invite your guests on an interstellar journey through tables named after planets and stars, whether they are the classics of the solar system or more obscure ones like Capella and Altair stars. However, if you want to add a touch of glamour, you can also use names of gems and precious stones such as Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and Turquoise, each identified with their respective colors.
9. Sumptuous drinks
Add vibrancy to your celebration by serving cocktails with fun and extravagant names such as Martini on the rocks, Sex on the Beach, Pink Panther, Blue Lagoon, and Bahama Mama, among others. You can also incorporate wine varieties, whiskey labels, or a variety of beers, if you are a fan of these beverages. In that case, the wedding centerpieces could be the same bottles that are referenced in the drinks.
10. Famous couples
Since you are celebrating the union of two people, why not evoke famous couples who have left their mark in the history of love? From classics like Mark Antony and Cleopatra or John Lennon and Yoko Ono, to fictional characters like Romeo and Juliet or more contemporary ones like Aragorn and Arwen from “The Lord of the Rings”.
11. Cuisine
As it is well known, in Spain, as in other Mediterranean countries, good food represents one of the passions and most preferred activities. This is evidenced by the numerous televised cooking shows. Therefore, if your common love for good cuisine is what binds you, this could be the main theme for naming the tables at your wedding banquet: names of cheeses, sweets, fruits, traditional dishes, wines, etc.
12. Sports
Did you meet while doing sports or do you share the same sports discipline? If you are avid skiers, climbers, motorcyclists, car racers, football enthusiasts, etc., this theme would be ideal to characterize your wedding and organize the tables in an original way. Use names of motorcycles, football players, cars, or sports disciplines for each table.
13. Places visited
Another lovely idea would be to name each table after the places you have visited as a couple. It doesn’t matter if it’s a town 30 kilometers from your home, a beautiful coastal area in Cantabria, or a country from any continent. You can display the funniest photo of each place you have visited together.
14. Nerd theme
In recent years, alternative and unconventional weddings have become more popular, especially among “nerd” couples. You can use names from role-playing games, comics, video games, etc., as table names for your wedding banquet.
15. Colors
Why not title each table with the name of a color? Each table can be decorated with the corresponding color: the blue table with blue candles; the red table with red napkins; the yellow table with yellow flowers, or for example, the brown table with a brown vase.
16. Common profession
If you both have the same profession, another original idea is to personalize each table with your common profession. If you work in a warehouse, choose names of different work areas, or if you are teachers, you can choose names of different subjects.
17. Myths and legends
A good option would be to name your tables based on local and popular myths and legends. For example, if the wedding is in Chile, you can use names like “El Trauco,” “La Pincoya,” “El Caleuche,” “Juan Soldado,” and many more. Ideally, you can include an illustration with a small reference at each wedding banquet table, and you will see how it fills every corner with magic.
18. Keys to Love
Perfect for the most romantic couples! Choose key concepts for a marriage, such as trust, fidelity, tolerance, and passion, to name each of the tables. You can even choose short love phrases to innovate a bit more, such as “Table of ‘I need you every hour’,” “Table of ‘I feel you every minute’,” “Table of ‘I love you every second’,” and so on. These declarations will melt every space with love.
