All of your wedding decor (centerpieces, escort carts, guest book, linens, your cake, your dress, etc.) should be cohesive. While they don’t need to match exactly (I actually try to avoid too much of that), they should all compliment each other in some way. Just like the interior decor in your home, your reception space is a room that reflects you.
It can be hard to visualize each component separately, especially when each element is being selected from a different vendor. A digital or paper mood board is a great way to see everything together before the big day and something I highly recommend. Whether you assemble it on Pinterest, or find an actual bulletin board where you can assemble pictures of all of your wedding decisions, it helps tremendously along the way.
Table numbers are a small part of the picture, but you’ll want to keep a few things in mind when you’re selecting them.
Consider the overall layout of the table. Is there room for something large or does it need to be small to fit among the place settings, glassware, and centerpieces? You’ll also want to make sure you don’t go too small or they’ll lose their value of helping guests find their tables. Consider the color. If you have a lot of color throughout your floral and linens, perhaps you keep the table number more neutral. Metallics are a great way to add some flare without using another various color. Paper table numbers are a great way to save money, and we’ve included a few paper versions on this list. However, you’ll want to keep in mind that paper table numbers often need to be supported by some type of stand or frame and don’t hold up well to the elements, especially wind. This is something to keep in mind if you’re getting married outside. If that’s the case, choose something a bit more sturdy like wood, or an option that can be held in place with something heavy.
With these tips in mind, here are 10 great table numbers, suitable for almost any wedding. If you want to keep browsing various table number options, check them out here.

Black and gold is a classic combination. The little dots on this design look just like bubbles rising from champagne and add just the right amount of sparkle to any table top.

The table numbers are printed on beautiful and thick pearlescent champagne cardstock. The warmth of the champagne paper is much better than a stark white, especially amongst other decor on your tables. The freestanding cards are printed on both sides, so guests can find their tables more easily. Each number measures four inches by five and a half inches tall. Customize your order (in increments of five) based on the actual number of tables you’ll need and the price will adjust accordingly.

8. Burlap Table Number Wine Bags
(Hortense B. Hewitt)
Incorporating burlap is still a popular choice for many weddings, especially those with a rustic setting (farms, wineries, countryside, etc). If you’re going for this look, we love the idea of using these burlap bags. While placing a bottle of wine in each works, you can also fill each with some beautiful rustic floral (think wildflowers, sunflowers, and lots of greenery) for a double use for each bag. Not only will it direct guests to their table, but also serves as your floral centerpiece, eliminating the need for a pricey florist. Whether you’re filling it with wine or floral, consider purchasing some of these beautiful mercury glass votives to surround your burlap table numbers.

10. Cork Wedding Table Numbers
(KMK Studios)
Use these table numbers for a wine-centric wedding or in any wedding with a rustic feel. Each number is cut with a hole, so you can use a coordinating string to hang it from a wine bottle or centerpiece on the table. If you don’t need a hole, just let the designer know and they can be made without it to sit directly on the table. Each number measures approximately 3×4 inches so they won’t overwhelm the rest of your table design. If you want to design a few other elements of your wedding with the same aesthetic, check out these cork coasters for favors, this initial cork cake topper, this monogram cork cake topper, or this custom cork shadow box to keep on your bar (have each guest sign and deposit a cork from the wedding for a fun guest book idea).
