Sweetheart table or traditional head table?

We did a sweetheart table and I loved every second of it. Highly recommend it.

Sweetheart table here also, for reasons already mentioned (wedding party having SOs and kids, we don't want to separate families/couples). We considered actually just sitting at a table with our parents, but with how the seating chart is turning out, a sweetheart table is going to work best for us

I'm not comfortable with a sweetheart table...just me. I wouldn't mind the WP being spread out at reg tables. FH wants a traditional head table. Our compromise: head table on dance floor n taken down afterwards. We'll have extra space for WP to sit at reg tables then. Right or wrong...at some point, it is what it is. In our social circle, a head table is still common.

We are doing a sweetheart because we want our bridal party to sit with their SO.

Sweet heart table!!! So more intimate. With it being such a busy day it was nice to have dinner and just chat for a second. Those little private moments mean the world.

Thanks for the input!

We're doing a regular round table with our wedding party and their SOs. My FH doesn't love attention so we decided against the sweetheart table, which felt to us like being in a fishbowl. This way we get to be with our friends but no one's SO is forced to sit somewhere else.

Sweetheart table all the way!!!!

Head tables suck. I have been in 6 weddings and had to sit at a head table for 1. I hated that I was "on display" all night and barely ate anything because I felt like people were looking at me. Also, I wasn't friends with the other BMs which was fine, they were nice but since we were seated next to each other with no one across from us (like you would be at a regular table) I was so bored.... I had this BM I barely knew on one side and then my friend the bride talking to her new husband on the other, and of course I wasn't about to interrupt them! As soon as I could I went and sat with my DH (then boyfriend) - he was NOT sat with me, he sat with my parents at a regular guest table. Thank goodness he 1) knew them and 2) they were invited, otherwise how freaking awkward for him would it have been to sit at a table full of strangers!! It was still boring/awkward for him regardless until I could come hang out with him.

We had a sweetheart table & it was great! Also, the MOH's fiance & BM's wife were not a part of the BP & there was no way I was going to prevent them from sitting & eating dinner together.

We are doing sweetheart so everyone else can sit with their respective partners

I'm doing a sweet beard table, not that we are expecting to sit too long

We are doing a sweet heart table, his best man is married, my moh is in a committed relationship, as is another bm, and it's very awkward to split them for the wedding I would rather they enjoy their company. Just my thought

We are having a SH table. I just want to be with my FH taking it all in. Our WP is very small so no need to even consider a head table.

Sweetheart table due to bridesmaids having kids and it would just be too much work to have the kids and plus ones there too

Small round sweatheart with larger rounds on the sides. Our adult children are our attendants some married some not, this way they can sit with SOs or other family members

This is going to sound so odd, but I've never heard of adding SOs to the head table. Maybe it's just where I'm from, but I have only seen the bridal party + groom and bride, or the sweetheart table. I learn so much on WW lol

I plan to do a sweetheart table for the reasons must previous posters stated.

Anything but a head table where your nearest and dearest are separated from their SO's.

I'm doing a sweetheart table. I like it because it gives us an intimate space to have time together as newlyweds and then the wedding party gets to sit with their dates

Head table, my FH and I didn't want to be alone on display... plus our wedding party are pretty much couples and they are all friends as well: so pretty much they would be the same table anyways.
