Do you know what one of the most overlooked aspects is when it comes to creating successful wedding table plans? People can spend ages creating complex and detailed wedding table plans that include all of the doors, entrances, exist, windows, loud speakers and toilets, detailed tables laid out with exact distances, names all placed in the best possible locations, and enough flexibility for last minute changes.

But creating wedding table plans often means that so much attention is given to the details that some of the larger and more significant aspects can be overlooked. One of the most common problems people find with such plans is that the tables are numbered.

Numbering The Tables

It seems almost as though most people start by creating their wedding table plans by drawing out a room, adding the tables and then numbering them. It’s done without thinking, and often the numbers are only included for the benefit of the person creating the plan.

Yet numbering tables is only a crisis short of a disaster, because numbers imply a hierarchy, and a hierarchy suggests importance. Your guests on table 3 will be very happy, but pity your poor friends, who thought they were your good friends, stuck on table 17.

What’s the solution? It’s easy. When it comes to creating wedding table plans, name your tables, don’t number them. Name them after flowers, places you’ve visited, colours, or be as creative as you like, but don’t use numbers unless you really want to publically label your friends and family in order of their importance to you.
