Sweetheart table and Head table?

We plan to do a sweetheart table, and have 2 tables saved for the wedding party and their plus ones. We have 7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen, or reception venue doesn't have the space for a huge table big enough for the whole wedding party and their plus ones.

If you're going to have the wedding party all sitting together I think you should sit with them. If you're not going to sit with then I think it'd be better to have them mixed in so if you have family members in your party they can sit with the rest of the family or if you have friends they can sit with other friends they might know instead of being mixed with people they may or may not know

Our bridal party is one big friend group and they would all prefer to sit with each other anyway, so that's what made the most sense for us!

No, this is not weird at all. I'm pretty much doing the same thing just having a table for the bridesmaids and groomsman, with their guest. One of my bridesmaids gave me a lot of slack about it, but I finally told her to get over it. I don't care for the traditional head tables.

I don’t see the issue as long as they’re with their dates.

We did both. We had a sweetheart table on a riser and the bridal party in front of us at floor level. It was great! Close enough to talk to your bridal party but gives you a little separation and intimacy with your partner. It also kind of deterred people from trying to come up and talk to us at dinner so we were able to spend a moment at least kind of alone... that is until my sister-in-law (brothers wife) marched her happy a** up to yell at me about my fathers toast - ugh)

Either way sounds good, but I'm team sweetheart table. To me it seems more romantic

Nope! Not weird at all! I’m doing the same! Luckily our bridesmaids and groomsmen are all pretty much significant others (minus 2-3 of them) so they would prefer to sit together anyways! We also don’t want to be cramped at the table with all of them! (We have 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen)
