When a wedding reception has assigned seating each of the tables have a number so guests can easily find the table they are assigned to. This number is usually decorated in someway.
Would it be weird to still have these number cards on tables if FI and are not doing assigned seating?
We would omit the numbers and have each table named a town or lighthouse on the island we are getting married on with a little blurb about it for the OOT guests which make up 1/2 the guest list.
