Hope that helps.

This is the best photo I could find of the map/table plan, We had 5 tables for our wedding and we chose our 5 favourite cities/countries that were spread out across the map - San Francisco, New York(oor, Italy (where we got married), Beijing and Sydney.

 These were on the tables.

I decided to use the table #'s as a way to incorporate my fiance into the wedding. he's from NYC, so I asked him to find me 6-7 images of iconic NYC places. I'll print them out in black & white, add a label of some sort, and we'll use those as the table names.

 

I'll have a tag for each person/couple that will have their table assignment on it, as well as their entree selection.

 

I'm not sure NYC really ties into our "beach wedding" theme, but I decided it was more important to incorporate him into our day in this way, vs. worrying about whether or not it fit just perfectly!

 

so still in the planning stages, but this is the idea we're going with.

hello all!

 

a cute idea it's using bride's and groom's ages as table numbers and put photos of themselves at that age.

I plan to incorporate the table #s into a beverage.  Here are some pictures that I have snagged off this forum, and other websites.

I also like this idea since we are sending message in the bottle invitations...

Thank you for posting the picture of your seating plan! This is the idea that we are also playing with - using the world map as the seating plan. Did you buy a map or just print it of the internet?
