If you are hosting a seated reception, adding numbering your tables is a smart choice. I know, I know, organizing seating charts is a pain in the neck but letting people sit wherever they please will make it harder for your servers to find who requested that vegetarian meal. 😉 If you don’t want to dictate where everybody should sit, you can do away with placecards but table numbers are a must. Besides, they are quite inexpensive and you can make them yourself.

There are lots of very creative table number ideas to name your wedding tables. You can pick from the traditional numbers, letters, places, or even countries as these table numbers or table identifiers will help your guests know where to sit. Remember this goal and do not make them too hard to find.

Wedding table numbers usually go next to the centerpiece, but this is not a must. You can place them inside of the centerpiece, on both sides of the table runners or floating above the table. After all, the trend is to capture the personality of the bride and groom.

The table number should match the overall style of the reception. You can use slates, wine bottles, metal table numbers, books as table numbers, but why not take a look at these unique table number ideas for wedding receptions?
