Seating

So my fiancé and I were discussing tables for our wedding. We were thinking of having our bridesmaids and groomsmen with with their family at normal tables. Is this weird?

    Nope. Plenty of people have moved away from the giant table of all the bridal party and instead opt for sweetheart tables (just the bride and groom) and then the bridal party seated with friends and family at regular tables.

    That’s what we were thinking we’d just rather have our friends with our friends. Thanks for easing our worries!

    It's not weird and really depends on how you want to do it. Usually the wedding party sits with the bride and groom at a head table, but I have seen weddings where the couple does a sweetheart table and the wedding party is just seated in the mix with everyone else. If you have enough space you could even do a head table with their partners included as well if you don't want people to be separated. Ultimately do whatever you guys would like to!

    I really like this! The problem I saw in the past is where the spouse and kids came with their husband and since he was a groomsman, he sat at the head table while every one else sat in the back. Not really knowing anyone. It was odd to say the least. I love the sweetheart table idea!

    I don't think it's weird! I was a bridesmaid in a wedding a few years ago, where there were two head tables and one sweetheart table. The wedding party was split between two tables and were seated with their significant others, and the bride and groom did a sweetheart table.

    We did this. It's actually much better for all involved. Unless you want a humongous table with bridal party AND their dates (separating anyone from their date is rude), then you should do it exactly the way you're doing it - you and your spouse at a sweetheart table and bridal party with their dates at other tables.

    If you’re doing a sweetheart table, I think that’s the best way to do it. It’s more comfortable for everyone.

    We did a sweetheart table, so our BP could sit with SOs and friends.

    Not weird! I was a MOH at my bestfriends wedding and she told us she was doing this, I was bummed at first, but then realized it was so nice to be able to sit with my fiance (bf at the time) and we are doing the same thing for our wedding now

    This is normal in my social circles. I've only been to 3 weddings with a head table. (The first, I was the girlfriend of a groomsman and didn't know anyone outside of the wedding party, so it was an awkward night for me.)

    It’s not weird, some people prefer to sit with people they are comfortable with. Do what works for you not what others think you should do

    It's not weird at all. It's actually courteous to seat them with their dates/families.
