Head Table vs. Sweetheart Table

Head table, all the way. I like that regal feeling!

We haven't decided yet but leaning towards a sweet heart table just because of spacing

We are having a sweetheart table. All of our wedding party has significant others and it’s unfair that they don’t get to eat dinner with them or sit with them when doing a head table. My FH and I have both been in wedding parties where the other was a guest and it is SO awkward. Also, with a sweetheart table, you get the joy of having that time to yourselves to just be with each other and enjoy each other’s company right after you’re married.

I wanted a head table to spend time with my family and friends since we rarely see them, but my fiancé wanted a sweetheart table just for us so I agreed. But logistically the sweetheart table is a lot easier so I’m actually a little relieved.

I think I want to do a sweet heart table and then a table for the bridal party! You really are so busy through out the day that to sit down with your SO at your own table, I think, would be special!

Sweetheart. We have a very small bridal party so we’re just doing a sweetheart table for us.

We really don’t want to do a sweetheart table because we feel like it’s putting too much attention on us and is a little isolating, but we have 12 wedding party members, plus their significant others, so we’re not sure what to do. To make it more complicated, all our tables are round and can only seat up to 12. We feel a little bad seating some people with us and others not, but we’ll try to make it fair and uncomplicated

We did not put much thought into this yet, but I think we might do a sweetheart table so our bridal party can sit with their SO. We might do a kings table if there is enough room though so everyone can sit together since both myself and FH dislike being the center of attention.

We're doing a sweetheart table. We're not going to have a ton of guests, so in addition to wanting a little space and alone time with the new husband, I'd rather have our wedding party taking up space at two round tables.

Head table- for me, it just keeps everyone together instead of having my FSIL sitting up front with family and the other BMs in the back of the room where "friends" sit. It's just for dinner. Everyone can mingle with their SO after we eat.

Sweet heart table, because I want my bridal party to be able to sit with their families. At my age, we all have spouses & kids. My FH's brother recently got married (age 38). They did a head table, and it was awful! My FH was in the wedding, so me and our kids had to sit by ourselves. It was so stressful for me, because I had no help with the kids (age 4 & 1 at the time). FH even said he hated it because he desperately wanted to sit with us (even though he sure looked like he was enjoying himself...*insert eye roll*). Therefore, if head table vs sweet heart table is something you are considering, I advise you take into consideration your wedding party. Do they have spouses and children? If the majority of them do, then I vote sweet heart table. If the majority of them don't, then I vote head table...because why not! As you can see, I feel very strongly about this (due to my horrible experience) haha!

Sweetheart Table so that we can have some alone time and look out and share in the moment of watching our guest hopefully enjoy themselves

We are most likely doing a King's Table! We don't want to separate the BP from their SO's.

I was separated from FH at a wedding this year when he was in a BP and it was very frustrating.

We are doing a sweetheart table just due to the venue set up.

Sweetheart table for us

Same as Alexandra!

We are doing a headtable. But the stage it will be on is too small to fit everybody, so on the stage will be me, husband, maid of honor, best man, then one more bridesmaid and groomsman (these extra two are my siblings, so we are having the family portion of the bridal party on stage with us). The rest will be at a head table directly in front of the stage.

I think we're going with a head table. Only one member of the bridal party will have an SO, and she's invited to sit up there with us. Also, my MOH and bridesman are more on the awkward/shy side, so I don't know where else I'd seat them.

We're going to have a sweetheart table for a couple of reasons. One is we want our attendants to be able to sit with their significant others and/or family, and the other is my FH wants me all to himself for at least a bit of time

I was going to do a head table but I may have to rethink after reading some of the comments. I guess I didn't realize that some of my BMs may not really want to sit at a head table.
