Bit of a random one but I'm getting married in 2 weeks and we are still trying to one up with a good idea for wedding table names. I'm a roadie as well as a MTB'er and with it taking place during the TDF the future Mrs thought we could use that as a theme so stage names, mountains etc and have the top table as champs-élysées. I like the idea of it but
The more I look at it the less Im not sure it'd work so just thought I'd ask opinions or for any other cycling related ideas!!!!
We used names of my favourite mountains & munros.
I reckon you could use the names of various famous stages from the classics, or if you have a limited number of tables just name them after the classics?
Mind you Liege - Bastogne - Liege is quite a mouthful as a table name...
What about simple bicycle model names? I would suggest Cove's range as a good starting point.
😀
'People we like'.
'People I like, but she doesn't'.
'People she likes, but I don't'.
'People neither of us like, but had to invite'.
'Alcoholics'.
'Gluttons'.
'Keep away from children'.
'Bores'.
I always think table names are an injoke that only the bride and groom will get and everyone else needs them explained.
Naming tables? WTF?
I'm sure it'd be a better use of your time numbering them and not wasting an hour or so of your life.
famous mountains in the tour?
Ventoux (for the people who fart loads)
Coix de Fer
Galibier (top table?)
Alpe d'Huez etc

Loving Rusty's idea's. 😀
Went to a wedding where all the table numbers were 1, but in different languages. Works best if you've spent some time in the countries where they're spoken!
Spartacus
Super Mario
The Badger
Big Mig
The Cannibal
The Pirate
Mister Tom
etc etc
I'm going for Peak District crags.......vowels changed to love, honour and belay as well.....BOOM!
I love Rusty's and just would add two more tables - "people we know will hate each other but thought it would be a laugh to put together and watch you all squirm" and "two people on this table had an affair with each other and their partners don't know - guess who?!". Always entertaining.
We went for places we'd been... left some my cousins wondering what we'd done and where!
with 'er in doors being a Scientist and me an Engineer we had 'elements' as table names.. worked OK.
However it was divided up along Rusty spanners guidelines..
love, honour and belay
I'm stealing that.
To add to Rusty's list
People we hope will get drunk, bump uglies and look awkward tomorrow.
I never knew people did this. Everyday's a school day!

Disposable camera on each table for that... 8)
We did ours after our favourite childhood sweets .... As our wedding was a bit of a party rather than a stuck up wedding 😀
Been married 9 years, o my !
Mine were named after my favourite Wigan Athletic players mutch to my mother in laws disapproval
Named afters ex's? Better still if they come.
We thought about doing places we'd been but it ended up looking a bit pretentious.
We thought about the sweets. No table names on the table just a decoration made using the sweets.
Places we'd lived together but we were a couple short.
We ended up going for local places and using postcards as it was nice and simple.
It's only table names - we spent considerably longer writing our own vows and I had about 12 drafts of my speech!
Went to hotel to check arrangements day before. Were met with a 'Oh, you haven't named the tables?' comment
Cue 'Errrr what??' puzzled looks and general bafflement from me and soon to be Mrs Seadog.
My mate used David Bowie album titles for his table names.
There were a few quizzical looks from the old dears frequenting the Diamond Dogs table I can tell you!

Oh yeh, the handjob table, quality.
No table names on the table just a decoration made using the sweets.
We went to one that did this but with jars of sweets, sugar overload.
Like the TDF idea or Names of TDF riders, top table could be the Podium.
We had ours named after famous dogs:
Bobby the Wonder Dog
London (played the Littlest Hobo)
Belka
Strelka (first two dogs to go into space and come back alive)
Snuppy (first cloned dog)
Smokey (WWII morale dog)
Wedding we went to a few weeks ago had their tables named after mythical creatures. We were on the Kraken table. 😛
Marked for future reference.
How about love in different languages?
Favourite beers/wines?
We used the names of Scottish Ski runs. Everything from The White Lady, to the Back Passage, via the Haggis Trap and Flypaper. I don't think we used The Bumhole though. Should have.

Call me a traditionalist,
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 you get the idea, it tends to work quite well and you don't get people asking all night why their table is called something that the majority of people don't have a clue about.
family
tw4ts
others
we have 8 tables and are having the seven stanes...splitting glentree and innerleithen.....
Turned up on the day to find my wife had done the table names after all the hospitals I'd been in. Think there was 8 or so. Raigmore, Vale of Leven, GRI, ERI, Yorkhill etc...
"Dont worry about the names, I'll sort that out.." har har.
Suppose it was good for the best man's speech!

'Do you TAKE! this woman...?"
"Mine were named after my favourite Wigan Athletic players mutch to my mother in laws disapproval"
I can just see Auntie Mayble say .... "Chimbonda!! What kind of name it that?"
Brilliant.
With my wife becoming a Mrs Rose, we unsurprisingly has types of roses.
While the berk I work with had different types of Porsches ... 911, 944 etc etc .... he couldn't be more of a city **** if he tried.... Grrr
"the word for love in different languages" thanks for that, now I have to stop drinking coffee to clean the vomit off my keyboard.
If it was me, I would go for famous lines from films you like. It's all a bit silly anyway so you might as well take it as far as you can.
Starting with:
“Nuke the entire site from orbit--it's the only way to be sure"
We used the names of rowing and cycling clubs we'd raced for. Seemed appropriate and people who actually knew us (eg everyone, luckily) got it without any explaining...
We went to the Maldives for our honeymoon so the tables were named after various islands.
You could try random numbers...12, 345, 7, 9.4, 7 & 3/4s, 3.14, Q, Batman Symbol.
Tables named after legendary planes, with the missus being in the RAF.
Name the tables after different tables:
Dining, Card, Coffee, Picnic, Water, Billiards, DB2 etc
wedding table names
Just one tiny thing on a huuuuge list of why I don't like weddings.
Are you having standard air or paying extra for the premium wedding air in reception venue? Come on, it is the most important 1/2 day in your life.

Periodic?
Periodic?
Once in a while, yes.
How the other half live though. I don't even remember naming or numbering any of the tables at either of my two weddings. I must have missed out on something.
How about famous F1 drivers? Just make sure that the top table is "Senna".
