Bride & Groom table or bridal party table ?

Eh, I know a VIP table is done but I don't like it. It's about the the bride and groom, they should be front, center, snd no one else

I prefer sweetheart tables. Some of the people in our parties have significant others who aren't in the wedding party, so we're going to let them sit together at the reception.

I'm just doing a sweetheart table and letting my bridal party sit at regular tables with their husbands/boyfriends/friends/etc. I think it just makes more sense! We'll all be announced together to the reception. It just puts more focus on the bride/groom (I've had fun making sure the sweetheart table is extra cute!) and allows the bridal party to sit with who they know since they don't always know everyone/anyone that well in your bridal party

Sweetheart tables all the way!

We're having a sweetheart table up front and then having a couple tables for the bridal party nearby. I love the idea of it just being us two, front and center, at our own table.

We are also doing a sweetheart table. I think it's cute, but I think it is also better for the bridal party who have dates/SOs that don't really know anyone at the wedding.

We will do a sweetheart table....and from the other perspective many years ago I was the date of the best man, and didn't know anyone else at the wedding. He was at a head table, I was relegated to the back corner with all other other "extras"- probably the worst wedding experience I have had. (not to be helped by the cash bar)

We are doing a sweetheart table as well and having the bridal party sit with their dates.

FH and I are doing a sweetheart table and we are sitting the BP with their dates at tables near us.

I was in a wedding last year where the bridal party had their own table up front. My fiancé sat at a table with all the other dates. It was very awkward for both of us! Definitely just do a sweetheart table.

Sweetheart table for two reasons.

#1-I know people say it a lot, but it really is true that you probably won't get to see your husband a lot the night of the wedding. Between dancing, trying to visit, people pulling you in every direction, you don't get much alone time. Enjoy dinner with your husband without distractions.

#2-Head tables are awkward for dates of the BP that are not also in the BP. Nobody wants to sit apart from their significant other during dinner, especially if that significant other doesn't really know anyone else there.

Another vote for sweetheart table. I want my bridal party to be able to sit with significant others/family

Sweetheart table!!!

We are having a sweetheart table on the stage of our venue. Right below the stage, we will have 4 round tables with my family, his family, BMs and their dates, and GM and their dates.

We have 18 in out bridal party so we opted for the sweetheart table. My reason is 1. we won't all fit with dates at the table unless it stretches across the room (which I dont want). and 2 I dont want to be in the middle of all those people and have to keep maneuvering my dress through the chairs b/c with that many people its not likely to be enough room to be spaced out.

My bffs wedding had a head table but her bridal party was only 4 people so she was able to fit all of the dates at the table too. That's the only time I actually seen a head table that wasnt awkward. But the dress situation was still a pain. Every time she got up i had to get up and her husband had to get up to make room for her dress.

I too am team sweetheart table. I would prefer for my bridal party to be with their SO, and that is where they will likely migrate to during the night anyway.

We're doing a sweetheart table, with reserved tables up front for family and the bridal party. So many of our BP members have spouses and children, it didn't seem fair to separate them from their spouse and/or make their spouse handle the children on his/her own.

I have sat at a bridal party table before and that left my date, who knew no one else there sitting by himself for a few hours. I hated it. Think about if the people in your bridal party have significant others. I know I would want to sit with my family and enjoy the reception. I say sweetheart table

We did a sweetheart table and much prefer it for many reasons PPs have already stated. The main reason is that it is your "alone" time with your new spouse. If anyone was at the table with us, we would be talking to them, not each other. We got to actually sit together and enjoy our dinner and share our thoughts about the ceremony, etc. It was the only time we really talked to each other all night until it was over.

Thanks, I mentioned having the party sit with their family but my MOH felt kinda sad. I guess because she did have the long table with just the bridal party. I guess it made her feel more special. Im going for the bride froom table and then sweethearts tables up front.
