Head Table or Sweetheart Table?

Sweetheart table here!!!

We’re doing a sweetheart table, I think it’s more romantic

We’ll be sitting at a regular round table with the BM (FH’s brother) and his wife, and my MOH and her fiancé. They are the only ones in the bridal party. I don’t like the look of head tables but dont really love sweetheart tables either.

We are doing both. We like the look of our bridal party with us. But we also found a solution to have a sweet heart table with it as well.

Family table with our 4 kids

I always assumed I would have a head table, as that is what previous weddings I attended had, but we did a sweetheart table. I’m glad we got a little one on one time together at dinner.

I am always team sweetheart table. It's our wedding reception, we are excited to enjoy the dinner and then enjoy dancing and visiting

After thinking about this for a loooong time I think we finally have a decision. We aren’t fans of the sweatheart table, we didn’t want to split the wedding party up from their dates, and our venue isn’t set up well for a giant head table for all of us. So we aren’t going to do either.
We will sit at the same size tables as the rest of the guests with the MOH and her bf, BM and his date, and another couple FH and I are close friends with who are going above and beyond helping us with wedding things. They get along well with the other couples and I really want to show them how much we appreciate them.
The rest of the bridal party consists of family members and they will be split up among other family who they are close with. I think this will be much better for everyone. The wedding party and their dates are an odd group together anyway, with my 17 year old cousin, and FH’s sister and BIL among other things...

A Sweetheart Table 😊

We're going to do sweetheart table. I like the idea of being able to be "alone" just the two of us and look at what all the planning accomplished!

We decided on a sweetheart table and a large table on either side like the second picture (will have blush napkins). It'll actually be 4 of the banquet tables together. One of the large tables to the right of the sweetheart table will be for family and the other will be for WP members and their SOs. This was the best of both worlds for us. These tables also frame the dancefloor. The sweetheart table flowers will have blush tones instead of navy.

Sweetheart table, that's one thing my H didn't budge on. It would have been odd having a table of 3 since we had one person in our bridal party, and my H didn't want to sit at a table with our parents and siblings.

We're doing head table and there's going to be 6 of us. I do like the idea of a sweetheart table though

I want a sweetheart table due to the bridal party having a date. It doesn't feel right to separate them from their date on the account of us. Plus I want my FH all to myself.

A head table. This is going to sound silly seeing as it’s my wedding and unavoidable but I do not like being the center of attention and I feel like a head table vs a sweetheart table will make me feel more comfortable. Obviously after the formalities are over I know everyone will just move where they want so I feel like it’s the best option for me.

We had a sweetheart table.

Sweetheart table for us!

We are planning a sweetheart table! We want to be able to enjoy a few minutes ourselves and (try to) be "in the moment".

I almost don't want any table. I like the idea of the head table but didn't want to separate spouses or family's of the bridal party... And them would be half the guest list anyway.... They have a LOT of kids! But the sweetheart table feels weird. I get that we are already kind of the center of attention. But a table for just us in front of everyone seems like we're on display with everyone watching us eat.

We are actually not eating inside. My FH and I are going to have a table set up outside of the dinner hall, so that we can have our first dinner as a married couple alone. We will go to the beginning of everyone's dinner for the toast and what not, but we really wanted our first dinner to be intimate, so after the toast we are leaving to eat alone, then will be back for cake!
