Table map?

[karnerblue]

For those of you who named your tables instead of numbered them, did you provide a map to show people where their tables were? I'm debating whether I need one, 'cause it's going to be a fairly small wedding, only 10ish tables. If you did one, can you show me yours, so I can get some ideas for how I might do one and make it not look bad?

A wedding I went to in Germany had tables names with European mountains (Matterhorn, etc.)

They did not have a map (or if they did I did not notice it); they just had a centerpiece on each table that indicated the name with a picture of the mountain. People looked around and found their tables.
I'm trying to think how many people were at this. 100ish? There were about ten tables. Maybe a little more.

I have never actually seen a table map at a wedding. Usually you just mingle around until you find your table.

This. And because I'm nosy I like to see what the other tables are.

This exactly!
We didn't put numbers on the place cards, or write anything other than attaching the matching chess piece in the metal that was in the middle of their centerpiece.
It is always fun to have people move around the room a bit more, before they're forced to sit, or reluctantly don't get up to dance...party motion is good!

It's easy to spot and navigate tables, as long as your number on the place setting is clear.

We used framed photos of our pets 'holding' the numbers. My gallery is offline, so I cannot share.

I'm having about 8 tables and won't be having a seating chart or map. A friend of mine had over 10 at her wedding and we just wondered around until we found it and it didn't take long! People also might be interested to know where everyone is sitting anyway!

We ended up doing names AND numbers.
