on the subject of keeping it simple

Original post by JessicaM.

so, many of you may know that I am trying to incorporate a Shakesperean element into my wedding.

I wanted to use sonnets and play excerpts for my table numbers, but as you also may know, Shakespeares sonnets do not have names, they have roman numerals, which I think may get complicated to match up.

for example, the sonnet you all may know as 'Shall I Compare Thee to A Summer's Day', the actual title of the sonnet is XVIII...

do you think it would be too difficult to name the tabe XVIII? should it have a dual name or something, like Table 1, XVIII

I am completely open to suggestions. I just have an image of my guests running around from table to table trying to match the numerals to their placecards!

This is what I drafted up to do... but my darling FH squashed it and said it was cheesey.

So I am trying to think of what I will do.

But it's good b/c you get the table number and then they get to look at something fun....



oh man Lisa that's awesome!

what is wrong with men! why does 'really creative and fun' translate to cheesy in their brains!

I think guests would get a kick out of it, but maybe he's afraid he'll get teased in the squad room or something...

I'll say it again MEN!!!

looks like you may have a groomzilla too!
