In or out? What are you going to do? Where does everyone sit?

Are sweetheart tables in or out? I don't know what to do. I guess I thought I would always have a grand head table. But now, with almost all of the bridal party being in a relationship I feel like they should sit with their partners. But how will that look with everyone sitting at different tables....

Are sweetheart tables in or out? I don't know what to do. I guess I thought I would always have a grand head table. But now, with almost all of the bridal party being in a relationship I feel like they should sit with their partners. But how will that look with everyone sitting at different tables. I've been to a wedding where the couple had a sweetheart table and then the wedding party sat at a table together. But I have never seen a wedding where the partners of the wedding party sat with them. I especially want them to sit together because it's a NYE wedding. Someone mentioned a Kings table. I haven't heard of it til now but we have a really large wedding party so to have the entire wedding party and the partners all together is too much. We have 13 bridesmaids and 13 groomsmen. What to do???

    We are doing a sweetheart table. The bridesmaids and groomsmen will have their own table and have their significant others sitting with them.

    My FH and I are doing a head table and we are allowing their so's to sit with them. It's a bit non traditional but it works for us.

    I have been to weddings with both. The one did a head table with the bridal party without their significant others. The other wedding did a sweethearts table kind of. They did a table with them and the matron of honor and the best man. The rest of the bridal party sat among family and friends. For our wedding, we are doing a sweethearts table. We want to be able to take a break from all of our guests and just enjoy a moment to ourselves. I also didn't want to separate anyone from their significant others.

    I'm having a sweetheart table at ours. We are kind of the last to get married and I don't want to break anyone up.

    We're doing sweetheart for a few reasons...we don't intend on sitting that much so why have a table with others and we're not there. Bridal party is family and friends so they can sit with their spouses and other relations. And I want to bling the SH table out so easier/affordable when it's small!

    Do you have any pics of the way you want to decorate the table? I'm having a NYE wedding and a blinged out table sounds good to me

    I attended a wedding where the bridal party members and their SOs sat together. Another wedding they had the wedding party sit at the head table for dinner but then they had separate seats for the rest, another party there was just a sweetheart table and everyone was dispersed. I’m doing the latter but that’s just me

    something like this - will have the arches from the ceremony behind it, and lanterns on the floor around it. but the table cloth will be sequin (not sure what color)! and then the bridesmaids flowers and other decor.

    I'm doing the "kings table" thing. One long banquet table (4x 6ft long tables lined up) and the FH and I will sit in the middle with a little extra space on either side of us. The "front" of our table will have a few extra decor items. Then the bridal party and their significant others will sit on both sides of the long table going down (banquet style). The rest of the guest tables will be round. Fortunately our venue has the perfect layout for this seating style with large (2 story) glass windows behind where we're sitting and a gorgeous magnolia grove and lake view on the other side of the window.
