Do you think table numbers are a ranking? For example, if you are at table 3 does that make you more important than the person sitting at table 10?
I ask because my friend was telling me that her FMIL is insisting she use table numbers, rather than names at her wedding. When I asked why she told me "rank."
That just doesn't make sense to me. I never felt I was less important than the person sitting at a higher numbered table. I always figured I was young so they put me near the band/DJ so grandma didn't blow out her eardrums.
