Table Signage

In the dining room, David Stark Design hung 1,750 Edison lightbulbs from the ceiling. They formed numerals that helped guests find their seats among the sea of 417 tables.

Here's an on-theme idea for a rustic farm-to-table dinner: At last year's Lowline "Anti-Gala," moss-filled Mason jars served as table numbers.

Large graphic table numbers provided the bulk of the decor during the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum's National Design Awards gala in 2011.

To fit in with the "Passport to the World" theme at the Children's Place Association's Once Upon a Time gala in Chicago in 2009, table numbers were printed on faux passports.

Table numbers were printed on mock pieces of matzo.
