Head table vs. Sweetheart tables?

We are most likely going with a sweetheart table so that we can enjoy an intimate dinner in the midst of things, and also because we don't want to split up our bridal party from their spouses /dates.

Yes, we're doing a sweetheart table. We want the wedding party to sit with their signifcant other/spouse/family. Plus I want to have some alone time with my new husband and look at the crowd of people who came to celebrate with us.

I vote for the sweetheart table.

Sweetheart

We'll be doing a sweetheart table. We want our wedding party to be able to sit wherever they want, and hopefully that will give me and FH a chance to spend some time together before getting on with the reception festivities.

Sweetheart.

Your bridal party will be happy to sit with their loved ones and you guys will get a little bit more privacy at a table alone.

I like the sweetheart table. Everyone can sit with their SO. I would not want to separate anyone.

We are doing a Sweetheart table that way FH and I will have a few minutes to ourself while everyone eats. We are going to need a little breather from everyone.

The Sweetheart table and cake table will be up on a stage, so that will prevent most of the people from "invading" (for lack of better word).

I like sweetheart tables. If you had a head table, it's nice to include your wedding party's plus 1s, which can add up. So, I think a sweetheart table is just easier.

Well I was wondering the same thing and now you talked me into a sweet heart table.

We are doing a sweetheart table. We aren't having a bridal party so we were considering sitting with our parents and siblings. However FH family is so big that someone would have been left out. So instead of squishing we are doing the sweetheart table.

Wow! I appreciate such a response! That helps a ton... and makes my life easier. It sure makes sense when you think about it.

Thanks so much everyone!

I haven't seen anything but a sweetheart table in like forever. Your BP gets to sit with their SO, you get some time together, and honestly, those 'last supper' photos? Nope.

We're doing a sweetheart table. I want my bridal party to be able to sit with their significant others/guests and have a fun versus feeling obligated to sit with us.

Apparently I'm the odd one out. We are doing rectangular tables that are all connected to make really long tables. Our bridal party their dates and our families will be the people sitting closes to us.

Sweetheart table ftw.

We chose a sweetheart table so our WP could sit with their dates, spouses, and kids, as well as other people they'll know at the wedding. Also, dinner is a time when the bride and groom are constantly getting up to visit guest tables to make sure they get face time with everyone who came. Granted, we have to make sure FH sits down and eats his dinner because he's a T1 diabetic, but we won't be sitting there the entire hour. Why would we make our WP sit at a table where we won't even be sitting part of the time? Plus, we'd be leaving a gaping hole in the middle of that row of people, so the BMs and GMs would have a difficult time carrying on a conversation with each other in our absence. I feel like the sweetheart table frees us to get up whenever we want to go visit another table because we don't have to worry about leaving a giant hole somewhere.

We're not doing either. We'll be sitting at a regular table with people we like the most and no one staring at us last supper style.
