Table Numbers!

Hi everyone,
I saw a picture in one of the knot albums where the bride used meaningful numbers instead of chronological 1 - 20.  I love the idea and have been brainstorming but I need 22 numbers... and I have done all of the standards - day we got engaged, zip code of our hometown, birthday, how many days we have been together etc.  I was hoping you guys might have some ideas for some special numbers because I am totally stuck!
Thanks :)

    I love that idea!! and I was going to do something similar until my mom brought up a very good point - people are going to have a tough time finding their tables.  We were going to do years and include our pictures from said year.  (ie: 1986 - pictures of us from 1986).  When I mentioned this to my mom, she said that a lot of the older crowd - including their friends, would have a tough time finding their seats.  I had to agree with her.

    We decided to use regular numbers (1-22) - especially for the escort cards - but each number on the table had its own name.  We named out tables after Seinfeld episodes (DH's favorite).


    here are a couple of links:

     We did number written in the sand. It was awesome!!

    I agree sometimes it's a little harder to find tables, but you could always make a map where the place cards are.

    Thanks!  Yea my mom wasn't crazy about the idea for that exact reason... might have to stick to the 1 - 22 idea :)

    why even stick to numbers?  We're naming them all after place in the world we've been to and have fond memories of.

    I love the idea of being creative with the table numbers (or names). We're having our wedding at the Sports Legends Museum, so we're planning on doing our favorite baseball players, maybe basbeall card style.

    How about "Number of States visited together", or you could be kind of cute and make up ones like "Number of seconds it took me to catch my breath after he proposed" or "Number of beats my heart skipped when we first kissed". I don't know if that's cheesy... just throwing that out there.

    We're being creative, but still using regular numbers to make it easier for people to find their table! Each number will be accompanied with a place we've traveled/lived and a picture related to it! We're also putting them in 8x10 frames on the table!
