Seating Chart - Kings table/headtable with Kids/sig Others

We are also doing a king's table, with our parents, wedding party, and their dates all sitting with us. A few people in our bridal party have kids and we asked if they would prefer their kids to sit with them or others (grandparents, etc.). They all agreed that they would prefer them to sit with others, but I know it will really come down to how the kids are feeling the day of. At the end of the day, you have to decide what is better, kids at the table, or kids crying because they can't be with their parents.

I've been a +1 to my fh twice. Twice he had to sit at the head table. I was all alone. I knew no one. I had no one to really interact with as he busy just sitting but not with me. I left early both times. It's really not worth a +1 to attend if the spouse is in the wedding party. I'm doing a sweet heart table between the 2 the wedding party rectangle tables they'll sit with their spouses. We're not alone and spouses won't be alone.

Because my BMs and FHs GMs all have spouses and kids that aren't in the wedding party, we are doing a sweetheart table (just the two of us), and then our wedding party will be at regular guest tables, so they can sit with their spouses and kids. We have 6 in the wedding party (3 per side), so I think what I'll do is set the BMs with their spouses at one table with a couple of my family members (to fill the table), and then GMs with spouses at another table with a couple of FHs family members. That way, everyone will know someone at their table, and they can sit with their spouses.

The nice thing about a sweetheart table is that you and FH can enjoy your dinner, just the two of you. You won't really be sitting there all that long--just long enough to eat--and then you'll be up mingling, greeting guests and dancing (hopefully)!

I like this idea. Will your wedding party tables have kids sitting at them too?

View Quoted Comment Agreed! I think dinner will fly by! Thanks!

We are doing a kings table. There are two children whose parents will be at that table. They will both be sitting with their grandparents. Their ages at the time of the wedding will be 1 and 3.

I would sit all the significant others together if that's possible. they will all have that in common which is nice. Plus sometimes its nice to get to know new people

View Quoted Comment Good idea!
