sharing a unique idea for table numbers

Lazynella

I think this si sooooo cool my friends and I came up with an idea for our table numbers.  My Fiance and I are 12 years apart wich has always been comical to us.  So we are having table years instead of numbers.  Example: the first table will be table 1987..... and will say something like "Sally was a newborn and Brian was 12 getting his braces on".  1993 "Sally was 6 graduating from Kindergarden and Brian was 18 graduating from High School."  Just wanted to share incase someone could use an idea similar

Just make sure you put them in numerical order!  I went to a wedding with themed tables that didn't have numbers, and it took forever to find your seat.  Themed tables are fine, just make sure you still put a number or put them in order.

I'll be honest, it sounds creepy.  While age differences when we're adults is no big deal, it's weird to point out how Sally was 6 when Brian entered adulthood.  Just my opinion.

I think some people might think it's cute, but others will see the creep factor here.  I don't know that I'd point out the age difference, even though as adults it's not a big deal at all.  Honestly, reading your post, I started thinking things like "Brian lost his virginity the same week that Sally turned 8"  or "Brian divorced his first wife the day Sally started junior high".  Extreme, and I know you wouldn't go this far, but the idea just kind of leads you there.

Yeah I think this is creepy; I'm sorry.

This is a really creepy idea.  DH and I don't even like discussing the fact that when he was a senior in highschool I was in the eighth grade.

Creepy and frankly not all that unique.  Did you ever watch the show "The New Adventures of Old Christine?"  They did a slide show of the husband with new Christine doing that same thing.  Basically, here's a cute little picture of Christine dressed as a bunny and next to her is what's his face going to college.  Yeah, it's creepy, not fun.

My fiance and I are 9 years apart, and I agree...creepy.

Sorry, another vote for creepy.  

Could you do something where a detail about you as a couple corresponds to the table number?  Something like:

1 dog in Sally and Brian's life

2 year engagement

3 weeks before Sally agreed to go out with Brian

4 years that they've been together

etc.

It's your wedding, so do what you want but I feel if people who don't know you and your fiance that well see this, like us here on theknot, they will interpret it as a little creepy. 

An age difference isn't that big a deal in our adult years but when you bring your childhood into it then it's a bit...strange. 

Just a thought.
