Bridal party seating

So we’re doing a sweetheart table and sitting the wedding party separately. Did anyone else who did this seat their wedding party with their plus ones or just their wedding party together at separate tables? Not sure how to do this. We have 21 people in the party and not everyone has a plus one. With the way the tables are set for how many people can sit at them it leaves a 3rd table with only a few in the wedding party and then we would have to put other guests at their table and I feel like that way they wouldn’t feel special being apart of the wedding party and stand out if they’re sat off to the side with other guests. Any suggestions??

    We mixed our bridal party into our tables. Some of them were friends, so they sat together. Some didn't know anyone else at the wedding, so they were mixed into tables (with their plus ones) wherever they fit. I don't think the seating arrangement should make anyone feel any more or less special.

    Were doing a sweetheart table. The wedding party will be seated at there own tables with spouses. I had a horrible time at 2 weddings when my fh was a groomsman in 2 weddings n I had to sit with no one I knew. I left early sadly.

    Our wedding party will be sitting with their plus ones amongst other guests. My matron and maid of honor (both of my older sisters) will each be at one of the tables for my side of the family and my bridesmaid (FH's sister) will be at a table with her side of the family.

    I definitely would not seat the wedding party separate from their dates/plus ones.

    Our bridal party were seated with their guests and friends. We seated them at the “closest” tables to us, but they were spread amongst 3 or 4 different tables and the tables were a mix of bridal party and non. Everyone was happy

    Mixed them among the guests. It seems silly to me to do a sweetheart table and still then lump your wedding party at one table away from their plus ones. I feel like the whole point of a sweetheart table is to allow the party to sit with their guest/families

    My wedding party consists of 8 people (4 on both sides equally). My girls are all cousins except my best friend but she’s like family. They’re all sitting together with their plus ones and some other cousins to fit a whole table of 10. The guys will be mixed in other places. His brother and cousin are family so they’ll probably sit with their respective cliques. The same with his best friends.


    I would never split your wedding party away from their spouses or dates. You can play around with sitting them together and sitting them throughout the wedding party.

    We sat our wedding party with their friends, dates, kids & families. So they were split up all over the room.
