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?

If we had had a map, it would have messed things up, since our venue coordinator realised it made sense for the tables to be s different way than originally planned.

My table names were beatles songs. 12 tables, no maps and no issues. :)

We did do one. Our sorta-theme was "love is a journey" (not very original, I know, but it fit us) and I was fortunate to have an amazing artist-friend of mine make one for me. We had two copies printed and put on easels: one downstairs during cocktail, which became a conversation piece and another upstairs, just before guests entered the ballroom. I loved it and we plan to hang one up in the house. She even drew an image of us in a car, as he drove me to high school way back when. The table names were in frames, each with an image and how the name was connected to us and our guests. The name cards were the outlines of a car. (BTW: This is the first time I've posted pictures here before. If I have some time, I might do an actual post-wedding post sometime...)

I named my tables after EU countries. I didn't do a map, but I put the tables in alphabetical order. It shouldn't be an issue with 10 tables. I had 22 and didn't hear a single complaint. Besides, it gives people a chance to walk around and see what the other tables are, because they will probably be curious.

We're naming and numbering. We're doing the names after cities we've traveled to or would like to travel. So, for example, table two will be "Kyoto," and etc. I want to make things a little more orderly so we don't have guests wandering around too much.
