table numbers

Guest location markers

Table numbers are the numbered markers placed on tables at events like weddings, banquets, or restaurants to help guests find their assigned seating.

They typically appear on small stands or cards visible from a distance.

Check your place card for your table number.

The term also refers to the numbers themselves in a seating chart: We still need to assign table numbers to the remaining guests.
