Sweetheart table or traditional head table?

We did a sweet heart table. It felt way more intimate and we got to talk more privately about everything .

Whatever you want. However, if you choose to go traditional, make sure you include and and all SO's of your bridal party.

We're doing a sweetheart table! Most of our BP is married/bringing their kids/just too much for a traditional head table

We're doing the sweetheart table for the intimacy.

Every single wedding but one that I've been to had a head table. I thought that was "traditional." But the popular opinion in this community is not to separate couples (have one sit at a head table and their SO sit elsewhere). My FH has social anxiety disorder and he absolutely doesn't want a sweetheart table and neither do I. The other options are kings table or probably what we're going to do is just sit with our family like any other table at the reception. Even if he didn't have his disorder, I don't think I'd be comfortable at a sweetheart table myself... but that one wedding that I did see a sweetheart table, I thought it was a cute concept.

We are doing a sweetheart table. I liked this idea because it allowed for significant others to be with their families and such.

I really didn't want a sweet heart table, but there's no way to decide who to sit with without hurting feelings so we did one. I think BP tables are out dated. Your bridal party should sit with people they know/came with.

We're doing sweetheart. We want to be able to spend some alone time together!

We did a sweetheart table and I loved it. No matter how you do it, keep BP members and their SOs together. I've been to weddings where they were separated, and IMO if you get to eat with your SO your nearest and dearest should too.

Sweetheart! It was awesome to sit and enjoy our first meal as husband and wife sort of alone.

I've heard fears that could don't like them because you're the center of attention but it really didn't feel that way. Everyone else was so concentrated on dinner that they weren't even paying attention to us!

Sweetheart table YES. Head table must include S/O dates because I think that's so rude to separate the guests from who they came from.

@Malei we're doing the same! Sitting with family, our table is called "ohana."

Sweetheart because knowing the bridal party SOs they will probably not want to sit at a head table in front of everyone.

@Jameena Haha that's a cute idea!

@Jameena Haha that's a cute idea!

I wanted to do a regular round table like everyone else but sit with our party but there's not enoigh room with spouses and kids. Then I decided I wanted to do a sweetheart table but now I've been thinking about that and I feel like that's kinda weird with us sitting off by ourselves like that when we are hosting the party. I want to be able to socialize more. So I've decided that me and husband are going to sit with our 2 kids, our siblings and best man. (MOH is my sister so she'll already be there lol) the rest of thr people in the wedding party will be sitting with their families which I think they would prefer.

Sweetheart! Much better for BP plus theoretically stealing a teeny bit more time together. Though, I think the sweetheart table for some reason made people feel more comfortable interrupting us and coming up to the table while we were eating, which was slightly annoying.

We are doing a sweetheart table to have a few minutes to spend with each other. It is very important to us tbsg we make time for each other that day as I have heard you many times that the day ends up being a whirl wind and the couples didn't enjoy it together as much as they wanted to.

So we have a sweetheart table and on each side of us will be a round table with the bridal party and their significant others.

We're doing a sweethearts table for the privacy and also because we don't want to split up our BP and their SO's.

I've never heard of a kings table before but it looks like a great idea! I think that's what I'll do!
