On A Bicycle Made For Two – A Wedding Seating Plan On Two Wheels

Seating plans and escort cards
If you can find an old vintage bike, or even a tandem or Penny Farthing, they can be put to great use as your wedding seating plan. Have a look at these examples:
- This seating plan uses vintage luggage tags in the spokes of a bicycle wheel. These ‘lets ride in tandem’ luggage tags from etsy.com would work very well if you wanted to create your own version.
- These bicycle wheels have been painted to match the colour scheme and used as escort card holders.
Alternatively, if you can find somewhere to buy lots of bicycle bells, you could use them to great effect as escort cards and favours – look at this example for inspiration.
If you like a good pun, how about these bike escort cards/favours which include the phrase ‘We’re wheelie glad you came’!
Table names
Simple table numbers work well with this theme, as the image of a tandem – a bicycle made for two – is so striking! Here are a few examples:
- Table numbers with a vintage tandem print
- Polka dots and tandem table number signs
- Simple black and white stylish tandem print
Having said that, there are also many imaginative options for table names. A few ideas:
- Name tables after parts of the bike – handlebars, bell, pedals, gear levers!
- Use a map of a famous bike race (Tour de France, London to Brighton), and name tables after stages in each race.
- Name tables after famous bike races, such as Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, UCI Pro Tour etc.
- For a classic vintage twist, name the tables after lines of the famous ‘Daisy Bell’ song (written by Harry Dacre in 1862).
Table décor can easily incorporate a bicycle theme, for example this lovely tandem bottle holder, or these printed tandem wedding napkins.
And finally…
For the couple who love to amaze – arrive at the reception on a bicycle made for two, complete with tin cans, top hats and veils (over helmets). A cautionary note – even for the experienced cyclist, riding a tandem takes a little practice, so wobble around a little in the privacy of your local park to save falling off in your wedding gown!
