Table Numbers

Why are Table Numbers/Names useful?

Table numbers and names are essential for organising guests at larger gatherings, eliminating confusion and ensuring that seating arrangements are clear and managed efficiently. They also serve as a point of conversation, encouraging guests to interact and mingle, fostering a convivial atmosphere throughout the event. Furthermore, our elegant designs and personalisation options transform the practicality of table numbers into an art form, enhancing the visual appeal of your venue and providing a touch of sophistication that complements the overall aesthetic of your celebration.

What are commonly used table names?

Commonly favoured table names revolve around a theme that holds personal significance to the hosts, often reflecting their shared interests, memories, or dreams. Couples might select names of cities they've visited together, treasured book titles, or names of iconic films that have touched their hearts. For corporate events, table names often align with the company's ethos or industry, such as notable innovators, milestones, or core values. Our designs are tailored to accommodate your chosen theme, ensuring each table's designation is more than just a guide; it's a memento and a glimpse into the narrative of the occasion.

Does Vintage Prints only offer table numbers and names for weddings?

Absolutely not! Vintage Prints takes pride in crafting table numbers and names for a spectrum of events, including but not limited to weddings. Our collection caters to birthday parties, anniversaries, charity balls, corporate functions, and any other special occasions that could benefit from our touch of elegance and organisation. No matter the event, we're committed to adding a bespoke quality to your tables, with designs that are easily integrated into various themes and settings. Whether it's a celebratory dinner, a business conference, or a festive gala, our tabletop accessories will certainly enhance the charm and functionality of your event space.

What size table number should I go for?

The ideal size for your table numbers largely depends on the size and layout of your venue as well as the overall design scheme. As a rule of thumb, they should be easily readable from a short distance without dominating the table setting. Smaller, intimate venues can benefit from more modest, discreet signage, whereas larger spaces with more ground to cover may require larger, bolder numbers to ensure guests can locate their tables with ease. We can advise and create sizes that not only fit your spatial requirements but also complement your décor, ensuring both functionality and style are in harmony.

Should I have a sweetheart table at my wedding?

Opting for a sweetheart table at your wedding is a personal choice that can reflect your individual style as a couple. This intimate seating option allows you and your new spouse to enjoy your first meal as a married couple in a private, yet visible, setting. It also provides a special place for photographers to capture candid moments of the two of you during the reception. However, if you prefer to be surrounded by your closest friends and family during the meal, you might choose a traditional head table or a more inclusive banquet-style arrangement instead. Whatever you decide, ensure it aligns with your vision and desired atmosphere for your special day.

When should you start ordering 'On the Day' items for your wedding day?

Timing is everything when it comes to the finer details of wedding planning. 'On the Day' items should ideally be ordered at least 1-2 months in advance of your wedding day. This allows ample time for personalisation, proofing, and production. It also provides a buffer for any unexpected delays, ensuring that these essential elements, such as place cards, menus, and ceremony booklets, are in your hands well before the big day. Early ordering also gives you the peace of mind to focus on other last-minute details as your wedding approaches.
