Head Table and Dates??

I'm in favor of the sweetheart table - just the bride and groom.

Not a fan of the head table because of the reasons you mentioned - splits guests from SOs

The head table with guests is actually called a kings table - not a fan either

I'm doing a sweetheart table(just the bride and groom) it gives you a moment to yourselves during dinner. And then the bridal party will just be two designated tables at the front so they can sit with their dates. I know I've gone to weddings before and didn't know anyone but the bride and groom and my fiancé who was in the wedding; I felt very uncomfortable sitting at a table not knowing anyone so I'm not gonna make my bridal parties dates feel that way either.

It is SUPER rude to split up couples like this. We are doing a sweetheart table for exactly that reason. Our table will be located between two guest tables: one for the groomsmen and their dates and one for my side and their spouses.

I'm doing a head-table, but none of my bridesmaids/groomsmen are dating or married to anyone.

We did a kings table with a family table on either side. We sat at a huge table with our bp and their dates/SO's down the center of the room and each of our families had a round table right next to us. It worked really well for us.. a sweetheart table would have looked funny with our venue setup

We have a very small wedding, in fact, no BP at all (2nd time around for both of us, only 50 or so guests) - we're having a sweetheart table only.

We are having a sweetheart table and then bridal party tables so the bridal party can sit with their significant others. But I do think traditionally with a head table it's just the bridal party

All the weddings I have been to have had the wedding party at the head table and their dates assigned to a different table. I don't really want to have everyone watching me eat dinner. FH and I have talked about possibly skipping the head table. Depending on the size of the tables we will sit at a regular table with the MPH, her husband, BM, his wife and maybe 1 or 2 other couples. The rest of the bridal party will sit with their dates.

I don't like the idea of separating the WP from their SOs and families. We chose to do a sweetheart table and then sat our WP with their SOs and families at two tables near us.

I will be seating my Bridesmaids and his Groomsmen with their significant others. I don't want their SO to feel alone/awkward if they don't know anyone else. I also do not like the idea of it and i think its a bit rude to do that. We are doing a sweetheart table.

We are either doing a sweetheart table or a head table with us and our parents.

We are doing a sweetheart table and the WP will have a "Head Table" across from us with seats for them and thier +1's (if they have one).... the table holds 14....

We are doing a sweetheart table. Majority of our wedding party is married with kids, I don't want to split people up. I have been in weddings where they did a head table but at that time none of us had significant others or kids. As I have gotten older, most of the weddings that I have been to had a sweetheart table.

Thinking of doing the sweetheart table. This way the wedding party can sit with their significant others.

We are doing a sweetheart table so that the bridal party's SO's don't sit alone. 2 weddings my FH was in did the same thing and I'm so glad they did.

We are doing a head table, luckily only 2 people are married and their SOs know the people they'll be seated with.
