Seating couples with their date

We are doing a sweetheart table and the wedding party will be sitting with their dates and with the people they know best at the wedding. FH asked if they should all sit at a table together, with their guests, but I didn't want to seat them with a group of strangers instead of seating them with with friends they might not get to see too often.

I'd be a crabby little bitch all night if I was seated at a different table than FH. I agree that you should put your guests' comfort first over having the wedding party sit together just because they're the wedding party.

We're doing a sweetheart table and allowing our bridal party to sit with their families and SO. We have a lot of out of town guests (long distance relationship) and most groomsmen don't know the bridesmaids so, to just make everything smooth and comfortable for all we're placing them at tables close to us instead

I did a head table with our parents, siblings and their dates, grandparents, and H's BM (my MOH was my sister and H's BM was his best friend since childhood). We had the rest of the bridal party at the tables closest to us with their SOs and kids.

We are having a King's Table. With me and FH, along with our bridal party and their dates.

We did a sweetheart table and honestly it was really nice to have that time for just us.

I honestly haven't seen anything but a sweet heart table in 10 years. Okay, maybe twice. But that 'presidential table thing" really isn't done here....

I've been in both situations as a bridesmaid. I prefer when the wedding party is broken up and you get to sit with your date. Depending on who you have in your party, they may not know each other that well and they'd probably rather sit with their SO and other guests that they are close with as opposed to all you FH's groomsmen who they may have only met a handful of times. I'm in a friend's wedding who is getting married for the second time. She did a head table with just the party in her first wedding and I'm honestly dreading that she's going to do that again. I know her day is not about me, but she's getting married on my birthday and would like to have dinner with my FH on my bday, but not sure that's in the cards. I think if you sit them with people they know, they will appreciate it a lot.

You didn't get enough of me all morning? Come sit with me ... foreveeeeer. Yeah no, I would rather be with my date and therefore I'm not gonna make you sit with me instead. Plus, I don't plan to be seated at all anyway.

I agree its awkward for wedding party to not sit with their date but I can't tell you a wedding I've been to where the wedding party sat with their date to the wedding. One of my BMs isnt bringing her boyfriend bc he won't know anyone and she will be sitting at the head table. In defense, her parents were invited but are not coming. The rest of the bridal party dates will be sitting with the the bridal party parents as they will know each other.

We are planning a head table but the venue doesn't have enough room for everyone's dates. I don't want to do a sweetheart table because I want to eat with my friends and my FH!

So I'm not sure it depends. If most of my BP is single it won't be an issue. As of right now, one is married and her spouse can sit with family. One of our groomsmen's parents are going so his GF can sit with his parents.

I would get really anxious at an event if I had to sit apart from FH because he was a groomsman. Like, seriously, if I knew he was there and I couldn't be close to him for such an extended period of time, I'd start having anxiety attacks. I don't know the wives/fiancees/girlfriends of his friends that well and while sitting me with them wouldn't be the end of the world, the only thing we really all have in common is we're in love with guys from this bunch of gamer nerds who mostly grew up together.

I think if the bridal party has kids present at the wedding it makes it more tricky. I've been to lots of weddings. And once a groomsmen kept having to get up and help his wife since she had a baby and toddler. I've also seen kids run up to their moms that are BMs the whole dinner. If everyone in the bridal party is single and with no dates it seems okay.

I'm doing a sweet heart and close family seated in tables in us. Also hopefully me and my FH will be chat for a few seconds as we eat.

We are having a sweetheart table so out weffing party can be with their partners.

Where is everyone from? I'm from Florida and sweetheart tables are the norm here. I believe they're the norm in the north east as well.

I'd be devastated if I were at a wedding and I couldn't sit with my S/O!!! It's something I wouldn't ever forget!
