Head Table

We will have a sweetheart table and our bridal party will sit with their significant others/dates. I think it's super awkward and kind of rude to have your friends sit on display for dinner while their dates sit alone.

We're also having a sweetheart table and our bridal party will be amongst the other tables, wherever they fit best with their dates.

We did a sweetheart table. So just me and my husband sat at a table and the wedding party was amongst the guests, at whatever tables they fit in best at.

We did a sweetheart table, then sat our bridesmaids & groomsmen with their significant others, kids, friends & other family. They were much happier that way rather than being forced to sit at a head table or a wedding party table!

We are also having a sweetheart table and bridal party members will be sitting with their friends and S/Os.

We're doing a head table of 3 tables with the middle one only having me, FH, MOH, and best man on one side and the other empty side empty. The other table will have people seated on both sides with the wedding party and a date if they choose to bring one. It sounds weird but looks completely normal.

We’re also having a sweetheart table and having our bridal party sit with their families/significant others. Alternatively, you can have kings table where the members of your bridal party and their significant others sit with you.

You can do whatever works for you and your crowd!

I personally don't want to do a sweetheart table. We considered a king's table, but that'll be too much.

So we're doing a traditional head table. All of our party members are either single (and will be coming solo) or married. The significant others know each other well and will know other guests, so I don't see a major issue with it for our group.

I would never want a date to feel alone or anything like that, so we'll be very thoughtfully putting people together.

That being said, I hope most of my wedding party is up mingling about after we're done eating anyway.

Do whatever makes you happy. I personally think head tables are a bit dated and sweetheart tables are more in now but each wedding should be based on what the bride and groom want.

It has more to do really with my FH's mom and step mom dont really get along and Im trying to make sure everyone is sitting where they feel comfortable. I def think having those standing up sitting with there SF's will be easier on them. I know not EVERY single person is going to come, so that will also help.

We are doing a kings table (new to me to this came from my wedding planner. It will be my FH and myself in the center or head with all of our wedding party and their significant others with them. We won't put anyone directly across from us to facilitate pictures. I am super excited for this because I hate the idea of significant others not sitting with their date and my FH didn't want to do a sweatheart table.

We will be having a sweetheart table for the exact reason of people in our wedding party having friends/family we're sure they'd rather sit with.

I've seen a lot of people do a sweet heart table. I was too cheap to ahaha so I sat with my wedding party

I was persuaded by my day of coordinator to have a sweetheart table. She claims the photos will be better

We are doing a sweetheart table instead of a head table, especially since our wedding party is on the bigger size (8 BM and 9 GM)

We are having a sweetheart table and the wedding party sits with their significant others. We wanted some one on one time throughout the night to sit just the two of us as we eat

We have us at the “Sweetheart” table, and our bridal party with their people at tables throughout the reception, seated with people they’d like/have stuff in common.

Especially since we are an older couple- over 40- it made more sense. We are only having the kids in bridal party too. So that makes it much easier.

We are also only doing a sweetheart table. Our wedding will be very intimate that it is mostly family and super close family friends who are invited. Everyone will pretty much already know who our wedding party is.

We’re doing a sweetheart table. Then placing our bridal party and their families at tables near us so they are close for speeches and stuff.
