Another Monday and Wedding Details: Table Numbers

Mornin!  I am SO pumped about this week - I leave on Friday for my bachelorette party in NEW YORK CITY! Wooooo hoooo! 

 

Breakfast was SUPER SPECIAL because I got out the Christmas dishes!  I can't have them out before December, it's just a personal rule of mine. :)

My mother had a set that looked identical to these dishes when I was growing up, and two years ago she stumbled on this set at a garage sale and bought it for me!  It's a 10-person dish set, so it's a little intense!  But oh so pretty.

  • 1 sliced banana

Wedding Details:  Table Numbers!

 

Future Husband and I wanted to do something different with table numbers.  Instead of numbering the tables 1 - 10, we're naming them after places we've traveled to together (or are going to travel to on our honeymoon).

 

Our tables are named:

 

  • London, England
  • Great Smokey Mountains
  • Brighton Beach, England
  • Miami, Florida
  • Napa Valley, California
  • Reading, England
  • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  • Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
  • Puerto Banus, Spain
  • St. Augustine, Florida

 

Each "table number" is 5 inches by 7 inches.  Under a photograph of each of the places, we're describing why the place is special to us and a fun fact about the area.  Here are some examples (you can click on each one to see a larger version):

Have a GREAT MONDAY!  See you for some speedwork tonight!

 

If you were to number tables by the places you love to visit, what would they be called?
