Head table question: Where do I sit my bridal party's significant other?

Usually you can sit all of them together at one table or sit them with other random people they might get along with.

This is why I am not having a head table.

I am making another table for the SOs. They all know each other so it seemed logical to seat them together.

Personally, I'm letting them fend for themselves, tablewise haha. Although I'm not doing a seating chart, so that might be different from your situation. I've been to weddings FH was in and wives and significant others had to sit with each other and/or strangers.

We're either going to do a sweatheart table with bridesmaids and their significant others at one table and groomsmen and their significant others at the other. OR a "King's table" all the bridal party and all significant others at one table. However, for us that'll be 22 people so we'll see.

Great question- the last wedding I attended the SO just had to sit wherever. I think it is a great idea to put them all together in a table

This is why I think head tables are awkward for everyone. If you have to have one, I'd seat them together at a VERY nearby table.

ETA: I think a table with the BP and their SOs is the only "head table" solution that would make everyone happy.

Can you have the wedding party on one side of the head table and have their SOs sit across from them on the other side? I'm not sure if you have an even number of SOs to make that work. I'm also not sure what the "rules" are for that sort of thing.

Future mrs picon, usually a head table is just one side of the table. So every guest can look at the head table as it looks out at all the guests. it makes for nice pictures as well. Having people sit across from them will defeat that.

I am not having a head table even though most of the wedding party is married to member of the party they have kids that they need to sit with. I would have them all at one table.

I have nothing constructive to add other than another vote for no head table. It's awkward for the SOs.

The Future Mrs. Pichon is referring to a captain's table, which could be an option as well. That's where parties sit on both sides of the table.

We're having two "head tables." We are choosing to sit with our bridal party instead of having a sweetheart table. The members of our party sitting with us are my MOH and her fiance, FH's best man and his gf (one of my bridesmaids), another BM, another GM and his girlfriend. The second table will be next to us and consist of the other members of the BP and their significant others.

Oops! Thanks for the lessons This is why FH and I are sticking to a sweetheart table

Seat people with their SOs/dates.

We're doing a sweetheart table, most of our BP is married and we always hated being separated from our SO's when we stood up in other people's wedding. Just remember, after the ceremony and pictures, they are pretty much there to party and want to enjoy themselves with their dates.

We're going to have a sweetheart table. That way everyone can sit with there dates/SO

IMO, splitting up couples (esp. married ones!) is rude. We're going to have a king's table so the bridal party and the S.O.s can all be together.

I haven't seen a "presidential' head table in years. Almost every one of my couples does a sweetheart table.

We figured it would be nice to set our parents with us instead of the bridal party. We would only have 4 extra people at our bridal party table if we seated the SOs with us since most our bridal party are married to each other haha

Or head take will consist of us and our daughter. Our bridal party will sit with everyone else so they can sit with their SO or dates.
