Is this a dumb idea???

Original post by donegal419

I recently thought of a DIY idea and was curious to see what you all thought....

I want to name my tables instead of numbering them. while i am not really incorporating any sort of theme to my wedding, i thought i would do a 'Home is Where the Heart Is' idea for our table names.

At the placecard table I thought of making a large poster (would be framed) saying something like 'Home is where the heart is... . you will be sitting at a table at one of the places where Karen and Sean have called home' (NOT exact wording, I need to work on that.)

Then I was going to name the tables (our hometowns, the counties in Ireland my family is from, the town in Italy where FH's family is from, where we went to college/grad. school, etc. etc.

At each table there would be a frame with the name of the table as well as a corresponding picture (i.e. the seal of my college for the Fordham University table, or the crest of the county where my Dad is from for the Co. Donegal table , etc.)

IS THIS STUPID???? Be honest.... just don't want it to look silly or look like people are at a Sweet 16 or a bar Mitvah.... i am not going for a theme per say, but thought it might be a way to be a little more original....

Again, be brutally honest! Thanks!!

I think it's a really good idea. It adds originality to your wedding and those are the things your guests remember! Good luck with it.
