  This is funny. Especially because at my wedding, table 19 were a bunch of jokers. They were the "last" table and went around the reception taking pictures of everyone with the table number at various spots - bathroom, bar, with the DJ, food, on the shuttle. The pics were on the little cameras we had on each table. It was hilarious.
  
  P.S. I cared very much about the people at table 19.

  I love fun people.

  Lol- that looks fun! I'm interested to see how they turn a wedding into a full length movie, but I guess we'll see.

  We have avoided table 19 syndrome by choosing significant numbers for each table.  For example table 13 is the number of years we have been together etc.  We aren't going to explain each table number as I would personally find it a bit cheesy but some people might guess.  For example, one table is 9a, which is the address of the bar where we first meet.  The people at that table all used to work there or be regulars of the bar so will probably figure it out.

  I'm a sucker for Anna Kendrick so count me in to that!
  
  Table assignments are no picnic, but too bad people can't put a little more thought into mixing and matching guests so the awkward bunch of random people is never a thing. 
  We had a small wedding, so instead of having one large table of DH's college friends and one table of never-been-acquainted people ("NBAP"), we split the college group and mixed in the others based on how we thought personalities would meld (and put the tables right next to each other). Seemed to work out alright!  As an introverted person who's been at a table only knowing my date, it helps when others at the table do know each other and are outgoing enough to have conversations we can naturally join. If there's 8-10 people at a table and nobody knows anyone other than their respective date, it's too quiet and awkward.
