Head Table Dilemma

Our wedding party consists of the two of us, 6 people on his side, and 5 people on my side. With their SOs, we're looking at 20 people. We're having a hard time coming up with a seating arrangement for the head table!Neither of us like the idea of having SOs at a table away from the wedding party,...

Neither of us like the idea of having SOs at a table away from the wedding party, fiancé doesn't like the idea of a sweetheart table, and I don't like the idea of taking up an entire freaking wall with end-to-end tables and everyone facing out.

The only solution I've come up with is using just 3 banquet tables in a row--having the two of us, the MOH, and the best man facing outward at the middle one, then having the wedding party and SOs set up at the other two tables so that people are across from each other.

Is it "okay" to do that??? I've never seen it set up like that, with some people facing away from the crowd...but it's all I can think to do!

I can't speak for the other posters obviously, but in our case we did it because that's the people we wanted up there with us and their presence mattered more than perfect balance. We're also having a mix of guys and girls on each side though...and at least one girl in a suit instead of a dress....so...if that tells you anything about us lol

As someone who had to sit at the head table with my FH when he was in a wedding and I was not. It totally sucked, was super awkward, I felt like I didn't belong, and when everyone was doing introductions it was just a few random people sitting there and everyone was staring. I would have been SO MUCH happier sitting at a random table. I can entertain myself with new people for like the hour that dinner is and then no one sits in their seats anyway for dancing and such.
