Sweetheart table or Bridal party table?

We’re leaning towards a sweetheart table. I want to be share that time with my husband and allow my wedding party to be with their significant others since majority of the earlier part of the day they will be with me.

I would do a sweetheart table but I didn’t because I would have been charged extra for it aha but if I wasn’t then for sure I would do sweetheart table

We are doing a sweetheart table.

We never even considered anything but a sweetheart table. You really don't spend much time at your table anyway... and when you do, you'll want to be eating lol. I was thankful to be able to take a couple minutes here and there to take a step back from everything, rest my voice, have a bite to eat and some water, and just be alone with my husband. We only actually went to our table a few times throughout the reception and very briefly. Don't get me wrong, I was so thrilled to be surrounded by our family and friends and wanted to soak up as much time with our loved ones as we could! ... But I am still really grateful that we did have a place to go to where we could just take a breather for a few minutes!

Sweetheart!

It gave us some very precious moments to ourselves. Also, then our BP could be with their significant others, and people could approach our table without bothering others.

I’m a big fan of sweetheart tables! That’s what we’re definitely doing for our wedding.

I had asked my FH about this when we first started planning. For us, it just felt like it would be awkward to be shoved off by ourselves and the other thing was is that the time spent at the table would be probably the shortest part of the evening.
But I’m also planning the seating chart to have our immediate families and the significant others of the wedding party at the front three tables by the wedding party’s table.

Sweetheart

We're doing a longer rectangle table for us, parents, and the bridal party and their SOs. We're doing a smaller bridal party and we live 7 hours away from the closest family, so when we're all together we want to take advantage of every second!

We're going with a sweetheart table. A coworker of mine was recently married, and he mentioned how nice it was to have a few moments to just spend together which sold us on it. Most of our wedding party is married/in a couple, so it was also really important to us that they are able to sit with their spouse (who wants to be separated from their spouse/partner/date at a wedding?). This felt like the most enjoyable seating option for everyone.

I'm pretty sure I'm going with a sweetheart table as well, and that's my same reasoning.

I have yet to decide on tables. I want the bridal party table because that's what I'm used to seeing. But with everyone in the wedding party having a significant other, I was thinking of having them and their significant other at one table and having me and my husband at our own table. I would like everyone to be comfortable.

We're doing a sweetheart table and two tables next to us with our wedding parties and all of their SOs.

I would make your decision based on how much alone time you expect to have and how many party members you have.

We had a sweetheart table. We did not have a first look or anything and everyone was trying to pull us left and right so having the table to ourselves gave us the time and space to enjoy each other for itleast dinner. We had 6 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen too and most are married, so we found that it was more comfortable to have them all seated at their own tables with their spouses than awkwardly separating them. Can you imagine having 11 people at a party table not including you and your groom? (Not to mention 22 not including us if we invited the significant others to the table.)


Best wishes to you.

We are going a sweetheart table as well, we will not be having a bridal party since we are out of state and budget is not allowing it. We thought about doing a big family table but were not sure if our parents would rather have their own table.

Our wedding party wanted the head table so we’re doing one

I have been really on the fence about it and originally wanted a bridal party table because I thought it would be nice to hang out with all of them but I have 6 BMs and 7 GMs all different so their SO and children won't be next to them. So now I am thinking of having a sweetheart table and having the BP sit with their SOs and kids. You never know though I think it depends on your BP and what you feel you want to do.

I like the idea of doing a sweetheart table, it's nice to have the wedding party be able to eat dinner and sit with their wedding date

I’m going with a sweetheart table. There’s not many in my bridal party but they have family coming too, so it works better to let them sit where they want. We’re also not doing a sit down dinner. There’ll be appetizer buffet, dancing and yard games.
