Sweetheart Table or Your Whole Squad?

Holaaaaa,

I'm finally at that point where some of my visions for the big day are starting to change. From day one of planning, we've never wanted a sweetheart table for the reception. We love our friends and wanted everyone to sit up there with us (plus it just looks cool lol) but now I'm having second thoughts.

I came across the cutest couple and their sweetheart table that looks pretty similar to my tablescape vision but for just two. The couple in the photo looked absolutely adorable and now all I can envision is me and my future hubby up there; justtttt the two of us. So we can't decide...also we're a party of 12 and I knew we'd need about 3 farm tables to complete the look. It was recently brought to my attention that everyone might not fit in the backdrop which is the big silver accent wall in the last photo. (I guess I should get table measurements now lol)

Anywho, here are some of my tablescape ideas! What are your thoughts? You think we can pull it off? What are you doing for your weddings?
You and hubby 👰🏾🤵🏾 or...
The whole team👩🏾‍💼👨🏾‍💼👩🏾‍💼👨🏾‍💼👩🏾‍💼👰🏾🤵🏾👨🏾‍💼👩🏾‍💼👨🏾‍💼👩🏾‍💼

    Great point. I did love how the head table looks. Those small round sweetheart tables are just not my thing lol. If we do decide to go the sweetheart route, we'll use a smaller farm table! Thanks!

    Absolutely will be doing a sweetheart table. Our bridal party has SOs that are not included in the bridal party that I don't want them to have to be separated from. Plus, I'm going to want some time alone (while in the same room) with my new husband.

    We are having the whole party plus FSIL (sitting next to FBIL who is a GM) with the 1 month old at the end of the table. (We had one extra slot so it just makes sense plus i already anticipate she will be whining about not being in the wedding party so this was an easy concession to make her feel a part of things). It will take 3 of the 6 ft tables offered by my venue. and have the 4 bouquets, 2 votives in glass holders and our blue crystal swans in the center.

    Backdrop is 72" wide so not sure if it will span the whole table but i figure it will be close enough.

    Well luckily for us, our friends are pretty much single and some from out of town and won't be bringing a guest by choice. But, we've decided to take the sweetheart route! It's very romantic to me lol! Thanks!

    Lol no it doesn't sound horrible and I feel like your family would say something like, "how did he get such a special spot and you don't really know him" lol...but I also don't think it'll look weird, y'all won't be sitting the whole night anyway. You can also tell your photographer to focus on close ups of you and hubby at the table and then change the sitting order for picture purposes. So like sitting from left to right, the 2 fellas, hubby, you and then your MOH but have the pictures taken on like an angle. I hope that made sense 😂😂😂 I can just really envision it lol. Good luck!
