Sweetheart Table or Head Table

We're sitting among our guests most likely, but there will only be 28 guests.

I have never been to a wedding with a sweetheart table. We will be doing a head table. I don't think it's rude. It isn't like we are demanding they sit the whole night there. It is just a dinner.

Sweetheart

I've been in two weddings and was sat at a head table both times with people I barely knew, if I knew them at all. It was a bit awkward, but I dealt with it.

With our BP, they don't all know each other that well and most every one of them will have an SO with them. So, there's that and we just like the idea of having a little bit of time to ourselves to eat and relax with each other, and that's what works for us.

Sweetheart table! It's great to just enjoy your spouse at that moment.

We did a head table. I have never gone to a wedding where the bridal party didn't sit with the bride and groom and the SO's sat with other people.

Sweetheart table. So we can have time to ourselves.

And, don't have to be annoyed with bad table manners

Sweetheart table so the bridal party could sit with their significant others and would be able to eat in peace without people bumping into them trying to get to us.

We did a sweetheart table - looking back I wished we had sat at one of the tables with guests. The dance floor separated us from everyone and we spent most of our time with people at their tables.

Sweetheart table. All our tables were close to each other. Plus we liked that time together to be able to look at our guests enjoying their time.

This is a good question! I want to do a sweetheart table, but have it attached to the wedding party/family tables on either side...if that makes sense!

We did neither, or I guess a semi-head table. We didn't really want a sweetheart table because we felt awkward sitting there on our own with everyone staring at us. For whatever reason my mother was convinced she didn't have anyone to sit with, so we sat with my parents, maid of honor, and her husband (my in-laws, which include the best man & his family, had requested to all sit together, so they were fine with this). It was nice having people to talk to while we were eating, and I also put my MoH on the task of ensuring that our plates weren't removed until we voiced that we were done (at her wedding the servers cleared their sweetheart table, throwing away a cigar her father had saved from the day she was born and given to them).

My bridesmaids are all friends from college, so they sat at the next table over with two other couples in that group of friends. Similarly, the groomsmen are high school friends so they sat at another neighboring table with their wives and a few other couples also in the same friend group. In general, we wanted to make sure that everyone sat with their spouse, since it's always awkward to get split up.

We decided sweetheart because in my opinion the head table is out of date and gives a "holier than thou" feel. Also, if you Pinterest sweetheart tables....they are very romantic. My FH and I do a lot of eating in the car, in bed, standing in the kitchen, and I can't wait to sit my butt down and have a quick actual fancy meal with him. And it provides for semi-alone time

We are doing sweetheart table so we have our privacy lol we probably won't be at it much just to eat lol

Sweetheart table

I’m doing a sweetheart table for the reasons listed above. I don’t want to separate my bridesmaids from their SO and make their husbands/bf sit at a table
alone

Neither, we had two long tables that sat 22 each, me, hubby, my two sons and his Best Man sat together.
