FH and I are having trouble deciding if we want a head table, with all the GM's and BM's at it, or if we want a table just for us, and then have two for them on either side of ours type thing. The reason we're having trouble is we both kind of want a head table, but our wedding party is all, with two exceptions being FH's 15 year old cousin, and his sister, in committed relationships. Like my Brother who's fiance and two kids will be there, my MOH who's long-term boyfriend will be there, his best man who's been with the same girl since grade 7, and my sister who's been with her boyfriend for a while. So we want them to be able to sit with their guests, and not have their guests sit alone.. especially my brother from his family. Especially since we both know we wouldn't like sitting apart from each other. Any suggestions ladies?

Thanks everyone for their suggestions/ideas! We've decided on doing a sweetheart table with two other tables up near the front for the bridal party and their SO's/guests + children. That way we can have a minute to talk to each other too

No we are not having our wedding party seated at the sweetheart table, for the simple fact we wouldn't want there date to feel lonely sitting at a table full of people they barley know.

My brother did a sweetheart table for just the two of them, and they had a regular table for the bridal party, it was only 8 of us and what they did for our date is have them sits at table next to us, FH was sitting right accross from me, I didn't mind being a part from him for just a few minutes. It was only for the speeches and dinner, people always move around before dinner anyway, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

It would be a better idea to not separate couples. If you wouldn't like to be sitting apart with your FH then other people would not appreciate it either.

In addition, many brides usually comment that they liked having a sweetheart table, just the bride and groom. It was the only time that they had an "alone" moment to chat on the wedding day.

Happy planning and congrats!

We are doing a head table with B&G and then MOH & BM. and then the 2 closest tables to us will be 1, immediate family and then 2, BM & GM (that way everyone is with their significant other/family members)

That's a big reason we want a sweetheart table for an "alone" moment! Even though my Step-mom is saying "you wont really be alone" I'm just like well it'll be a moment where we don't have to talk to anyone else while they're eating and such, so we'll actually get a chance to enjoy being married to eachother for a minute or two.
