I love the ones you chose! Here are a few more off the top of my head:
- When Harry Met Sally
- Love Actually
- Gone with the Wind
- Sleepless in Seattle
- Pretty Woman
- Notting Hill
I think I like the smaller look better, however, I would be concerned that it wouldn't stand out as much and you want people to be able to find their tables. A couple more ideas...
- Romeo and Juilet
- Titanic
- Dirty Dancing

I voted Larger ... and my vote brought it to 50/50 (it's early, yet). Although I think the smaller does look better, to help people find their tables the larger writing would be a big benefit. You could also consider putting the titles on some sort of backing or matting.
What a great, romantic idea... I love it!
Great idea!
Some other thoughts:
It Happened One Night
An Affair to Remember
Roman Holiday
Say Anything
Moulin Rouge
You've Got Mail
Love Story
Princess Bride
Chocolat
West Side Story
Ever After
Pretty Woman
The King and I
Sabrina
Sleepless in Seattle
Shakespeare in Love
City of Angels
I agree that you probably need to go with the bigger font just to make it easier for your guests to locate their tables.
Here's a link to the list of American Film Institute's Top 100 romantic movies (just in case you need more ideas):

Thank you everyone for your feedback (and movie ideas!). After much contemplation, I think the larger titles simply make more sense. I don't want to complicate the process in finding seats, especially for our elderly guests. I'm just hoping that using word-titled tables instead of numbers doesn't trip anyone up.
Can anyone speak from personal experience on this? Just wanted to make sure that people would be able to find their table and realize that the title (I'll definitely include the word table on the escort cards - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Casablanca Table"). So hopefully people catch on!
I voted smaller font because I was thinking you might run out of space for the longer titels, but I do agree that the larger ones make it easier to read/find.
Here's a few others:
Amelie
The Wedding Singer
The English Patient
Ever After
While You Were Sleeping
that's a really really cute idea!
i think it's a great conversation starter for your guests too!

I like the smaller and voted for smaller but after reading some of the other posts, the larger might be easier to read for your guest. Other movies:
An Officer and A Gentleman
Beauty and the Beast
The Goodbye Girl
I have a question for you all. I might steal this idea and work it into our vintage theme, using only classic, older movies. How do you type words over the image though? What program do you have to use? And Miss Edamame, what font did you use and where did you find such fabulous pictures from those movies?? Thanks!!
Great idea!
I also really love On Golden Pond - a great love story and a very realistic portrayal of love, life and marriage.
Of course...GONE WITH THE WIND! Rhett kissing Scarlett is a must. My favorite romantic comedies are:
Notting Hill
Sweet Home Alabama
and
Bridget Jones' Diary...
and as a drama, I love..
An Affair to Remember
@monalisa670 - You can use Adobe Photoshop for that. Right click and save the image you want, then open it up in Photoshop and resize it to what you need. Then create another text layer and type the words in.
@ monalisa670
Thanks for the compliment! I found all of these pictures on the internet, but depending on the movie, the images are a little complicated to find. For more recent movies, search for pictures from the movie that were made into desktop wallpaper (those that are released as promotional material in the months leading up to the movie's release) Because those images have to be stretched so large, they tend to be much higher in quality.
As for the font, it is called "Edwardian Script". I thought I had downloaded it for free from fontfreak.com, but I can't seem to find it there. Here is a similar font from fontfreak called "Easy Street": (http://www.fontfreak.com/charactermaps/e/EasyStreet.htm.
I found the Edwardian script on another website (http://www.searchfreefonts.com/font/itc-edwardian-script-regular-package.htm), but I've never downloaded fonts from them so I can't guarantee their file will work.
let me know if you're able to download it!
Thank you so much for your tips, Miss Edamame! I really appreciate it! This will be my fun weekend project this weekend, I'll let you know if I have any other questions! (Obviously) I love the idea, let us see how it comes out!!
Hi! I was reading a bridal magazine and there was a featured wedding in which the couple also had classic romantic movie posters, and as escort cards they did vintage 1930's movie tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It reminded me of your idea and I had to let you know! haha
Love your idea!
I can't believe nobody said - P.S. I love you !
I LOVE this idea!! Too cute! some of FI's and my fav romantic movies are
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (1st movie we ever saw together)
Sweet Home Alabama
50 First Dates
City of Angel (1st movie he bought me)
LOVE your choices!
Cold Mountain? Definitely the scene where he kisses her before he marches off for war.
Ohhh what a cute idea!
I know they've already been said, but I second Love Actually and Chocolat....***sigh***
Aww, I love this idea!
Serendipity is my FI's favorite love movie.
Mine is Love Actually....makes me cry every time.
Hope to see your final list of choices for the table names. Again, such a great idea!
some other ideas:
My Fair Lady
Doctor Zhivago
Love Story
Singing in the Rain
Ghost
Sound of Music
Gigi
Princess Bride
Grease
Jerry Maguire
Readability is crucial when dealing with table names, especially if they will be placed in the middle of large (10 person seating) tables. Not everyone will recognize the pcture, so they need to be able to see the name, itself. With white text on b&w, readability is further diminshed, so bigger will be better here, for sure!
My favorite romantic movies are Gone with the Wind and Notting Hill.

After weeks of trying to find creative names for our reception tables, I figured it out. We both love movies, so I'm naming our tables after some of our favorite romantic movies. I've posted some examples. These will be mounted on tiffany blue cardstock before being placed in the card holders. Please tell me what you think! Or if you have any suggestions for movies - please share your favorites! We need about 15 more!
