Sweethart or Dais table??

I am siiting my bp with their guest

Usually the S/O's of the BP sit at a separate table.

What if only 3 are not in the bridal party and aren't really friends with one another?

I didn't want a sweetheart table either so planned on sitting with just the bridal party. We planned on putting their s/o at the tables where they would fit in (cousin's hubby with my aunt, best friend's BF with other friends). However the place screwed up and gave us a sweetheart table anyway (which I hated) so we had to scramble a bit to fit the BP in with their dates, but it all worked out in the end.

And if they're not friends with each other (or anyone else there) then just sit them together. I've been to plenty of weddings where I sat with complete strangers.

Lol we sat the bridal party with us, some had SO's out with the rest of their families. Hardly anyone sat in one place throughout the night since most were dancing, etc. I didnt hear anyone complain.

We are letting the BP sit with their significant others. We will sit at a table for 2 but in the middle of the other tables so we aren't alone. Also I don't want their dates to have to sit alone.

We are doing a sweethearts table just for the simple fact that we didnt want anyone to feel that they were more special to us on the wedding day!

I would have preferred to do more of a single table with everyone at it but they dont make them big enough to fit 35 people

You could just have the maid of honor with her signifiant other and the best man with his significant other sit with you and DH

Posts like this make me so grateful that we decided to have a very informal picnic reception. We used the ramada at our venue, and everyone just sat where they pleased. We mingled with everyone, and everyone moved around.

However, i do understand that most weddings are nothing like ours, and most brides want the formal sit-down dinner. That said, I like Singing Diva's idea. I also went to a wedding once where the couple had their parents at the head table with them, and the BP sat with their families.

We have a similar situation so we are having a small table with my FH and I and the MOH, BM, and their spouses. The rest of the attendants will sit at reserved tables with their significant others.

I think we are going to do a SH table just so we can (hopefully) eat uninteruppted so we can go to each of the table while the guests are eating to give our thanks for coming, since we arent doing a receiving line.

We're doing a sweetheart table. We want a few minutes alone.

Are you feeling shy like everybody's going to be looking at you while you're eating? Just wondering what you mean.

You could sit with both sets of your parents, or your siblings and their spouses/dates, or your MOH/Best man and their spouses/dates.

I would definitely not separate the WP from their spouses/dates at dinner. They've already put in a long day at that point. I always feel bad for spouses/dates of WP members who are stuck at tables where they don't know a lot of people making awkward small talk.

Kris S. Im doing a sweetheart table for the same reason. It will give FH and I a small moment to take everything in (while everyone is getting their food). The wedding party are sitting with spouses and/or family

Same problem.....undecided

Im with Singing Diva on this one. I'm also shy but we want to have that moment with each other cuz we all know the rest of the day we're going to get pulled in different directions. I was glad when FH agreed that we should have a SH table. I also wouldn't want to separate the BP from their plus 1's.

I orginally did not want a sweetheart table but I think I'll appreciate the chance to sit down with FH for at least a moment and talk for a bit.

I want a Sweetheart table. I am super shy too but on that special day, the only person I want to sit beside is my new husband. Plus I know My BP would appreciate being able to sit with their dates.

We don't have a bridal party to speak of, so we are sitting at a table with our six children.
