right what do you think of this, christmas time wedding, was thinking of doing the following..........have famous christmas movie quotes/?? and have it like its a quiz at the table, so i'd leave the clue and they'd have to guess the film, maybe have it hidden in a card-something like cluedo?! should get people talking, what do you think??:o or is it totally off the wall.just not sure how to do it,

Well IMO part of the novelty of named tables is that when you're going to the dining room, looking at the board of seating arrangements everyone admires the "name scheme" and all the different names. Eg. I was at a wedding where they were named after football stadiums and you had people making jokes like "that's the only way you'll ever get me into Old Trafford" so if your table names are secret your tables are going to be 1, 2, 3 etc.

But as a table game it is a nice idea, better than "bet on the length of the best mans speech" anyway which I've seen at a few weddings

I was going to use surnames from our family tree on both sides but himself didn't like the idea.

The five gold rings, two turtle doves etc is a good idea for a Christmas wedding.

this is a great conversation starter, we did this at our wedding & it was a big hit...just remember to put out pens, I forgot

Paddy power actually do a sweepstake kit for free, its a card with your betting options in an ivory envelope, looks well on the table. http://content.paddypower.com/weddingsweepstakes/index.php A cert to get people talking particularly where you have a table plan & not everyone on the table knows each other, good ice breaker.... plus can be incorporated into the speeches for a bit of fun if needed

I suggested the Greek Gods and Goddesses (Aphrodite, Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena etc. etc.) for a girl in my office who was having a grecian style dress and decided to build on that theme.

You could do the Roman versions either; or any other pantheon really - even the Catholic saints or Biblical characters I guess!

For mine, my partner is a musician and I'm in cabaret so we're having famous jazz and musical theatre composers as the table names and we found dotey little placecard holders in the shape of saxaphones and other brass instruments.
