I want to do something cute for our table numbers but want some inspirations - so let me know the weddings you've been too - what you're doing any input!!!
We're getting married in Aruba, and their native language is Papiemento so I chose words like "kindness", "love", "friendship" etc... and translated them into Papiemento for the table name cards.
I agree with beesknees, Mrs. Lovebug's were pretty awesome
this might be a little too much info about me because i am obsessed with our dog, but he is becoming our mascott/ theme and we are doing a variation of mrs. lovebugs idea instead of a typewriter, my dog will be holding a table number in his mouth in a different LA location! there are a lot of ideas on the knot website too!
I always like the idea of putting pictures of you and your FI at that age on them. That way, tables are still numbered to make it easy (I once spent a good 15 minutes wandering a reception wondering how in the heck to find "Paradise Cove" or whatever the table was called), but it's also cute and personalized. Mrs. Lime did this, http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/07/25/numbering-the-years-er-tables/ if you want to see what it looks lilke.
I have 24 tables and will have table "songs" from the years we were born. I will have my dj put together a 20-30 second snippet of the songs in the order they will go up to the buffet (double buffet).
My friend did this - her and her now huspand took pictures of themselves holding up posterboards with the table number on it - each table number/picture is in a differnt place. One was on the beach, one was in a park, one was at an amusement park, ski slope etc - then they put the date they went there etc. They did this over the year leading up to their wedding.
I'm having my reception at grandparent's house and to go with the home/outdoors theme I'm going to home depot and using house numbers for each table and putting them on a frame stand.

I went to this wedding last Saturday, and the table numbers were really great. (OK, I'm biased, the bride is a relative).
