Hi! We let the wedding party vote if they'd rather sit at tables with their significant others or if they'd rather be at the head table. It was 100% unanimous for the head table. I was surprised by this. All of the significant others are family, so I guess they weren't as worried about being separated since they've all known each other forever now. I preferred the head table but never let anyone know my preference. (Size is not an issue for head table because the walls are super long)
However, I'm now curious about placing my flower girls at tables. One of the flower girls has a mother and much older sister that are both bridesmaids. The second flower girl has a mother that is a bridesmaid. The dads will be sitting at the guest tables, but the girls have both expressed that they'd like to be up front with their moms. I have no issue with this whatsoever. The only other sibling is an infant, who will be with his dad, so he's too young to be jealous that he's not up front lol.
I have no problems including them whatsoever, but some members of the extended family are expressing that it's a bad idea to put kids at the front. They are worried about them behaving badly and causing a ruckus. However, I feel that since they are with their moms it's okay. I actually think they are more likely to cause a scene if they are jealous or feeling excluded from the front. I would rather the girls feel included, but I'm curious if anyone else feels that this is a bad idea. I want to consider things from all angles.
