No 1 table detail most forgotten

There is one aspect to wedding reception tables that takes a serious backseat when it comes to decoration and it´s a bit of a personal bugbear of mine. A bride can spend a considerable amount of time with the perfect dress, hairstyle and bouquet in her mind as well as how she wants the table centrepieces to look for her guests but one small detail is often overlooked. The table numbers. I know it may seem like a small detail but details count. Once I was at a wedding where the couple had obviously spent time, energy and money on their placecards, menus, favors and stunning flowers for the tables but had handwritten the numbers (badly in blue biro) on a bit of fluorescent pink card that you see at the market advertising special offers on fruit and veg. It just looked so wrong. I´m not saying you should lose sleep over your table numbers (as that is worse!) just a simple consideration for them is all I ask. They can be as basic as you like. Numbers printed on a piece of plain card that coordinates with your placecards or flowers are fine or you can go mad and do something crazy and fun. You don´t even have to use numbers. Be creative. Names of places you´ve travelled to as a couple, nicknames you had as kids....whatever floats your boat.

Here are some great examples:

Happy friday
