Spouse seating

I feel as if making your groomsmen and bridesmaids sit apart from their spouse is rude. Also, that’s more sweet 16 or quince style. Why would you tell adults where to sit? You’re going to have unhappy people and they’ll end up moving from where you sit them anyways

We have a maid of honor and best man. Right now my MOH is in a relationship. Her boyfriend doesn't know anyone, so to avoid awkwardness, he will be sitting at the head table with us. Same with the best man if he is in a relationship.
There's always an option of a sweetheart table too

We are doing a sweetheart table. They are becoming more popular so the bridal party can sit with their spouses and the bride and groom can have dinner “alone”

Let your bridal party sit with their spouses. I think a head table is just awkward and splits up people who want to be together.

I had initially put spouses at a table with people that they’d know.


I ended up adding another table to the head table to accommodate spouses and SO’s of Bridal party members.
However, I apparently needed to add one more. It worked out though. Most everyone was seated with no problems.

We are having a head table.
Everyone else has had a head table.
We're one of the last couples to get married.Just because you have a husband/wife and kids, doesn't mean I need to change my vision.We've sat at head tables separate from you, you can do it for us.

Once you decide to have guests, your responsibility as a host is to put their comfort before your desires and vision. All of your guests should be seated with their SOs, including your wedding party, who are supposed to be your extra special important-to-you guests. Why would you not want them to be relaxed and happy, sitting with their partner? For the sake of an awkward photo that you're never going to frame and hang? A photo op that became popular in the 80s, the decade of butt bows and big poofy sleeves?
