Head Table with Dates

Has anyone let the dates/spouses of the bridal party sit at the head table with them? I don't like the idea of having to separate our bridal party from their dates but I don't know the best way of including them. I would prefer not to have a sweetheart table either. Has anyone done this? How did you...

Has anyone done this? How did you arrange the table without making it super long? We have 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen so 8 people on each side if we include their dates.

    My fiance and I are doing a table for just us and everyone else sits with who they want. No seating chart. It is going to be long tables anyway so we are letting people sit where ever. Its also in my back yard so its a large space

    He’s super fun and bubbly and i just know seeing him joking dance and skip down the aisle with flowers will brighten everyone’s mood and make them laugh! Plus he’s 6 ft 7 so how can you not laugh at that sight.😂

    I love that you're focusing on making people in the bridal party comfortable! We have so many of our close friends and family up there that I want it to be more like a fun table where we can all interact rather than the typical row of people staring out at the other guests. We have 4 groomsmen and 4 bridesmaids. All but 2 of them will for sure have dates and the other two might still bring someone by that time. We also know and are close with a lot of their sig. others so I think it adds to the fun having them up there.

    I also was thinking of doing a U-Shaped lay out of the tables and maybe even having people in the bridal party seated on both sides (facing each other for better conversation). FH and I wouldn't have anyone in front of us so that other guests can still see us. Thank you for your tips! Smiley smile

    I vote for the sweetheart table every time. This makes it sooo much easier for everyone involved.
