Head table vs. Sweetheart tables?

I have actually never seen a sweetheart table at any weddings I've been to, but I wish FH was open to it because that's what I would prefer! He really is set on the traditional head table.

We are doing neither! We are just sitting with certain guests. Our venue can only fit 10 round tables with a max of 10 people each, and we have 94 people, including me and FI. Thus, we made some tables of ten, some of nine, and some of eight, and we're at a table with 8 other people. I kind of think sweetheart tables are awkward, but we didn't really have a choice anyway.

I'm not a fan of either. we are just planning to sit with our parents at a normal table.

I have never seen a head table, it's always been sweetheart. I like the idea of sweetheart because you wedding party can mingle with their friends and have fun without being on display and because at every wedding I've been to the bride and groom have barely ever been at the table, they've been greeting their guests and enjoying the party so I don't think it's fair to force people to sit up there with you when you more than likely won't even be there.

We are doing a head table. Our bridal party is made up of our kids (teens) so his girls and my boys will sit with us.

We are not doing a head table We are trying to decide between a sweetheart and a table with us, MOH, best man and our parents (so 8 people). I like the idea of honoring our parents but know they will also enjoy sitting with their friends. Really, any way you go will be a win. Good eats and good friends

We have decided to do a head table. The venue has a perfect table for the ten of us.

Only one person in our bridal party is coming with their SO and they are sitting with their best friend. This is our time with the bridal party since some of them are from out of country and we may not see them again for quite a while

Im team sweetheart table!! that way the WP can sit with friends and you can have at least 10 minutes to sit and be like oh wow we are married before you go and talk to guests, dance, ect.

We are doing a sweetheart table! As others have mentioned, it lets the wedding party sit with their spouses and it gives you a chance to chat with your new spouse a little more :-)

We're doing a 'head table' but all SOs and dates are sitting up with us, and we're having people sit on both sides of the tables, so it's really just another guest table but with our bridal party and their dates.

I've been struggling with this too due to our WP size as well! We decided on a siblings table! It will be us in the middle with our combined 2 sisters and 4 brothers on both of our sides! We are then doing 2 tables on both ends of the remaining guys and remaining girls from the WP.

We are doing a sweetheart table with head tables nearby, where the wedding party is sitting with their SO. FH and I have both been in head table weddings where we were separated from one another and it can be hard if you don't know many people!
