Head table

Kelli, on February 16, 2020 at 5:37 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 11
I was thinking that if we were to do a head table with the bridal party, I would want their significant others sitting with them because who wouldn’t want to eat dinner with their loved one? So that would place us at 16 or 18 people at the table! Thoughts on if brides liked/ or are doing a sweetheart table or just have the best man and matron of honor with their spouses (to make 6 of us) at a table. I also wouldn’t mind having a big table and there are people on each side (facing each other) that’s fine too! Honestly, I want the day intimate and inclusive as possible! Just wanted to hear what you all are doing or what has worked!
Thanks!

    I loved having a sweetheart table and getting to enjoy dinner just the two of us! The whole day you’re pulled in so many different directions and talking to everyone it was nice to sit alone and soak it all in.

    Ah! Yes. I love that especially since you’re “just married”!

    We loved our sweetheart. It gave us a few minutes to spend time together while eating before all of the interaction.

    We just revisited our wedding venue today and we thought we wanted all of our bridal party on each side of us. after speaking with the owners of the venue they completely changed our minds (in a good way.) we will have our own sweetheart table with our families to the sides of us instead and let our bridal parties sit with their significant others/relatives as well! that way everyone is comfortable and able to enjoy the evening ☺️

    I sat at the same table as my bridesmaids and groomsmen and their significant others too. I felt like it made sense to me since we largely werent even at the table and we had to pay extra for sweetheart table

    Do a sweetheart table with just the bride & groom, and sit the wedding party with their significant others, families, friends & kids. They would WAY prefer to sit there than a head table.

    We are doing a king table (wedding party plus SOs). There will be 18 of us. We are having a large rectangular table with my FH and I at the center. We won't have anyone sit directly across from us, so we can still get good pictures.

    We are doing a sweetheart table. I only have a MOH and BM and one of them does not have a significant other to bring so the table would be unbalanced and I didn’t want to call attention to it. So we are having a bridal party table closest to ours and it will have the MOH, BM and significant other and our parents.
