Dinner Table

Don't think of it as separating yourselves from everyone else. Think of it like allowing your bridal party to sit with their SOs and families. It's more for them than for you. Although one of the reasons we wanted a sweetheart table is because we knew it would give us a few moments to ourselves during dinner. But the main reason was so that my MOH and BMs could sit and have dinner with their husbands!

We're doing a sweetheart table because it makes the most sense for our venue plus concerns you've said (s/o of the party). We won't be spending the whole night seated, so who cares? It's not like we'll just sit in the corner all night and not talk to anyone.

This all the way.

I was MOH at a wedding years ago and sitting at a wedding party table without my S.O. was terrible. He was stuck with strangers all dinner who didn't speak English and was upset with me as though it was my choice!

I'd talk to your bridal party to see if they're comfortable not sitting with their SOs. If they would rather sit with them, then I'd say go for the sweetheart table!

I would keep wedding party with their partners. If you do not want a sweetheart table, maybe consider having best man, MOH and their partners with you, and rest of WP with their partners.(one or two tables, whatever is needed). Also, please be considerate of anyone without a partner.

My daughters FH was in 3 weddings last year and sat at head tables every time without her. She still had fun, but still felt odd. She swore she would never do that to anyone.

So her plan is a Sweetheart 1/2 table with circle tables on each side. One for the BM/groomsmen and their significant others and the other one for MH/bridesmaids and theirs. Close enough to talk, but separated enough to be special. Hope that helps

We are doing a sweetheart table for that exact reason. We want our wedding party to be able to sit with their SO's. Plus, the sweetheart table will allow time for you two to have at least a few moments to yourselves!
