Head table. Who are you seating there?

We have the option to have a sweetheart table (bride and groom only) or a head table. Here's the dilemma I have. If I seat just the Best Man and Matron of Honor with us (we're only having one attendant each in our party) then the best man's wife will be seated at a table elsewhere and she doesn't...

We have the option to have a sweetheart table (bride and groom only) or a head table. Here's the dilemma I have.

If I seat just the Best Man and Matron of Honor with us (we're only having one attendant each in our party) then the best man's wife will be seated at a table elsewhere and she doesn't know anyone else there. I would have no problem seating her there with us, but if I do that then I have to include my MOH's husband as well. That wouldn't be a problem, except they'll probably have their pre-schooler son with them (he might even be the ring-bearer) and I don't want kids at the head table.

So I could instead have just our parents seated with us. No problem except my parents are long divorced (40 years) and my dad would probably have his wife with them. We'd have 2 on one side and three on the other. There's no problem with anyone not getting along or anything.

What do you all think.

I'd rather not do the sweetheart table. We want to eat with our guests & enjoy the company.

Our wedding party will sit at the head table - save for the ushers. There will be a couple of tables right next to the head table where our families and SO of the wedding party will sit. Fortunately, everyone is super close in our circle of friends, so it's like we're all family - so putting them with some family of ours wouldn't be weird.

We went for a sweetheart table. That way the bridal party could sit with their spouses/significant others.

My wedding party except the 4 kids along with me and my FH will be at the head table as well. Usually this is only done for eating so I'm not worried about it.

I'm not separating my wedding party from their significant others and families. We will sit at a table with both sets of parents and probably two of my grandparents (his are all deceased and my third living grandparent will want to sit with her sisters). I didn't want to waste room on a sweetheart table (our venue will be packed) and I thought it would be a good way to show the unity of the two families.
