Reception seating

This is so rude. Personally I don't like head tables to begin with, but to have one and only exclude two significant others is just ridiculous. If it were me, I'd be asking to be seated with my husband, especially since most other wedding party members will be seated with their SOs.

View Quoted Comment ALL OF THIS!! 💯

“Hey, I’m sorry my comment made you upset. I get how stressful wedding planning is. Maybe I could have phrased things different. Main thing is, I would rather not have my husband sit at a different table than me. Can we work together to come up with a solution? Maybe I can be seated with him at another table and then the other bridal party couple can remain together at the head table? I’m here for you no matter what.”


This is what I would say. I’d be the bigger person and just apologize even tho you did nothing wrong. That’s just how I am tho. Good luck 😭

That is incredibly rude. So the other significant others are allowed to sit with the couple but not him? I would be declining the position of bridesmaid immediately and reconsidering the friendship. No you do not offer that your husband stay home. She created the mess so it’s on her to fix it.

Totally insulting. Don’t have a head table if it cannot accommodate everyone and their SO’s.
Should have went with a sweetheart table.

I would tell her, hey look I'm going to sit with my husband. Someone can have my seat.

Decline the role. She chose an 80s prom head table to honor her closest and disrespects them at the same time. Go as a guest.

Exactly why I hate head tables. I'd decline all of that. It's rude to split up couples for dinner. It just is.

I had 2 head tables designated only for our parents, siblings and children. I hate when people do head tables and force the wedding party to sit on display while making their dates sit alone. Instead of offering for him to stay home, politely request to be seated with him?
