sweetheart table or head table?

Sarah, on September 20, 2014 at 7:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

My fiancé and I are from Chicago and are having a destination wedding in Lake Tahoe. We only have a Best Man and a Maid of Honor, and we are only expecting 50 people. Would it be rude to only have a sweetheart table and have our Best Man and MOH sit w/ their significant others with the rest of the guests? Smiley smile Any advice will help, thx!

    I think given how small your BP is, it wouldn't seem out of place to have a sweetheart table. Your MOH and BM may really appreciate being able to enjoy your romantic night with their significant others.

    I went to a wedding a few months ago where the bride and groom had a sweetheart table and their bridal party sat with their significant others. The MOH and BM still gave toasts and it worked out fine.

    We're having a FG (my daughter) as our only attendant for our small wedding. She will be with us at the head table, along with our parents.

    Ok, I figured since our wedding is going to be small and intimate that it would be ok, thanks!! Smiley smile I didn't even think about having our parents, but that is a cute idea!

    But I think Im going to choose the sweetheart table Smiley smile

    I'm an advocate for head tables but I think your wedding sounds better suited to a sweetheart table! Smiley smile

    I have to say, around where I am from, it is extremely uncommon to see a head table. Every wedding I have been to has had just a sweetheart table.

    In fact, with such a small group, I would think it's better that you BM and MOH sit with their significant others. Especially since it's a destination wedding.

    I am an advocate for the sweetheart table. I believe a couple needs to have that time alone.

    I went to a wedding and the bridal party was small, one on each side, SO sat at the head table as well. It work for this couple. I was a little uncomfortable sitting up there but I would have been more uncomfortable sitting at a different table then my FH because I didnt know anyone there.

    We only have an MOH and BM also. We're going with a sweetheart table. At one point we thought about having the SOs at the head table with us, but it was just wrong.
