Head table vs sweetheart

I like the sweetheart table for the same reason. Sometimes the bridal party guests don’t know many people. You don’t spend much time at the table anyway.

I'm also team sweetheart table! Having a head table means that bridal party members might get separated from their SOs.

We went with a sweetheart table. It gave us some time to relax with each other without the obligation to make conversation with everyone else.
Depending on the size of your bridal party and venue, could you do a head table including their SOs? Another idea is a middle ground option that I saw at one wedding. A sweetheart table framed by two long rectangular tables that seated the wedding party and their SOs. Family and other wedding guests were seated at rounds further out.

We went with head table purely because it was extra money for us to have sweetheart and I was too cheap to pay it aha but if it wasn't then I'd have gotten sweetheart too

We are doing a sweetheart table so we can have some time with each other and also so our bridal party can sit with their SOs/family.

Team sweetheart table all the way. You have the entire day (and every other day) to hang out with your friends. Enjoy your first meal with your new spouse.

Team sweetheart. I was a bridesmaid at a head table and it sucked because my BF sat all night a table of strangers who didn’t speak English. And then we got into a fight later about it.

Sweetheart table. I would never wanna split up a couple or family.

We're doing a sweetheart table for a couple of reasons. We want our attendants to be able to sit with their significant others, and we wanted to have a small table for us so we can look out at our loved ones sharing the day with us

Sweetheart table! I love the intimacy of it.

Team sweetheart table all the way.

You could do a King Table BP and dates sit with you at one table.

I'm team head table.
I like the way it looks.
It gives us extra space.
And we've been sitting at head tables for years. I'm not changing it up just because we are some of the last people in our friend group to get married.

I want the have a sweetheart table, I plan to have a small bridal party only my bff and his two brothers. His one brother is married with 3 kids so they could almost be their own table, his other brother is in highschool so he could easily sit with his gf and his mom ( mother of the groom) my best friend will have her date to sit with but honestly I could almost sit her with anyone and she would chat them up.

We are doing what I think Is called a Kong’s table because I want everyone with us but I also Want them to be with the significant other

Kings not Kong’s lol

We're doing a sweetheart table. A lot of our friends have done this and recommend it.

It gives you a few moments to be with each other, you have a home base where no one else can sit and monopolize you, and you can call each table up to greet/take pictures.

View Quoted Comment That's a great point! I hate it when you a couple goes around to each table and there are stained napkins, half full glasses with drinks and Grandma's gristle from her steak on her dirty plate! Seems much cleaner and orderly. I'm going through the same debate in my head. I don't want us to be on display for everyone to gawk at while we're eating, but if we have a head table I'm seperating 3-4 different families with kids, which I don't want to do. The groomsmen are my FH's bro and nephews from Alabama, my ladies are my sister, niece and best friend of 22 years from PA/NJ. They won't meet each other until the rehearsal dinner, so it's probably best to skip the head table for us and let the bridal party sit with their people.

I’m team sweetheart table. I think it’s super cute/romantic for the bride and groom to have their own little table/space and get to have a bit more private time together. I also want our bridesmaids and groomsmen to be able to sit with their significant others.

Were doing sweetheart table! Yes we will be sitting for some of dinner but then well be up chatting with guests at their tables, then doing the dances, so I wanted our wedding party to be by their SOs. I also think itll be nice to be with my hubby by ourselves to share that moment

We're doing a kingish table..but only including the maid of honor and her fiance and the best man and his wife. The other BMs and GM will be mixed in with their friends and family.
