[QUOTE]BTW, have you seen this clock? <a href="http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=18145" rel="nofollow">http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=18145</a> The numbers 1-12 are represented by different mathematical expressions, maybe you could do that as well!  You'd have to come up with 13-15 on your own though.  Maybe have the name on one side, then the expression, with the normal number, on the other?

I like the idea of naming tables instead of having numbers. The only bad thing is that it might take people a little longer to find their table.

[QUOTE]Nope, I love it, and think it's cool. I would, however, do a little thing like  TABLE NAME and then here, in small print, tell us about the person  you've named the table after

I was thinking about buying it for my uncle for Christmas, but I'm embarassed because I would only be able to solve a couple of them if I didn't already know the answer.

i like the idea - but just make sure you use a font/font size that is easy to read from a little bit of a distance.

I think it may be difficult for guests to find their table. I don't see the logic in naming tables.

Because it is fun and shows the bride and groom's personality.

LauraT25:  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THAT!  It is the perfect gift for one of my BMs! 

We're going to name our tables too.  No numbers, but we only have 10 tables so I don't think it will be too hard for guests to find theirs.
