Sweetheart Table or Your Whole Squad?

Personally I love a sweetheart table!!! I like the look and feel of it. And, then your bridal party can sit with their guests. It super sucks to be the date of someone in a wedding when you can't be with them most of the day but then can't even sit by them at the reception. We had a sweetheart table and I loved it!! I like attention though and I loved that we had that time just for ourselves. And honestly, much of the time we weren't even at the table. But, do what's best for you.

Sweetheart Table

We are doing a head table, but instead of separating our attendants from their significant others and children, our head table will include: my FH and myself, his two sons, my mom and stepdad, FMIL and FFIL, my maid of honor who is my 16 year old sister, and his best man who is his brother and his brothers' girlfriend. We didn't want to to do a sweetheart table or table that just included us and my future stepsons because it seemed isolating to me.

We did a head table that was arrange more like a "U" so that could fix your large bridal party problems in front of the background. You could also seat their dates on the other side if you do a larger U. Most of our bridal party did not have dates so they were fine with a head table and they are very common where I live.

We're having a sweetheart table. I think head tables are awkward and uncomfortable for the wedding party's other half - especially if they don't know anybody and have to sit alone. Good luck!

We're doing a sweetheart table! I, originally, wanted a King's Table for all of our bridal party plus their immediate families, but our venue just doesn't have enough space for that. I'm excited to be able to have a little pit of time "alone" with my FH to just talk!

Lol Squad Up for real. The two levels would be nice and it was a thought actually with another venue we liked but with the one we picked, I'd have to make some adjustments. It's doable though. Good luck to you.

We are doing a head table! Our wedding party is fine with being separated from their dates for about an hour so that solidified our decision! We are putting the SO's close to the head table though so that they're closer to us!

Sweetheart table. This is so romantic, and usually makes for a better appearance. It's kind of weird looking (just to me) to have your whole wedding party up there.

(To each their own)

We will be having a sweetheart table! I have 8 bridesmaids and he has 9 groomsmen... plus their SOs... that would be a lot of people at one table haha

I would say sweetheart table because most weddings I go to, the couple is rarely sitting down except for speeches. Most times, I see them socializing by going table to table to greet everyone.

When my FH and I started discussing tables, he actually expressed that he wanted a sweetheart table when in fact I was feeling the opposite. After some thought (and research), we'll be doing a sweetheart table. I saw posts about our wedding party having guests/family that they'd most likely rather sit next to and it would be nice to have some "alone time" at some point during the wedding lol.
