Bride & Groom Reception Seating Options

Please help me think of seating options for FH and I at our reception. We have 7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen; 5 have spouses or partners invited who aren't in the wedding party. I thought it would be nice to let them all sit together with partners split between 2 tables (they won't all fit at one),...

Please help me think of seating options for FH and I at our reception.

We have 7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen; 5 have spouses or partners invited who aren't in the wedding party. I thought it would be nice to let them all sit together with partners split between 2 tables (they won't all fit at one), and I was really looking forward to FH and I sitting at a table with our parents, the priest, and our sponsor couple.

Turns out, our parents (who love us dearly) were actually REALLY looking forward to sitting with their own friends, some of whom they haven't seen for years (health issues, distance, etc.).

Okay. So. I'm not heartless; it's not REALLY all about me--I won't insist. But, a sweetheart table seems awkward and lonely. Do we sit with half of our party, with the other half next to us? Will it look like we are playing favorites?

Oh--and where do we seat the priest and sponsor couple if not with our parents (my mom INSISTED they be invited!).

    Sweet heart table was a really good decision for us

    It gave us a chance to scarf down all the amazing food we had

    I loved our Sweetheart table. It was one of the only times that DH and I got to be alone together and talk.
