Sweetheart table- Yes or no

I was the same way, couldn't imagine being the center of attention at a sweet heart table. But honestly, if you're in the middle of the meal people will be eating not staring, and the logistics of figuring out who and how exactly to do a family table or a bridal party table are really stressful.

It's also a major plus for the sweetheart to realize you may get a couple of moments with no one talking to you or asking anything of you to spend with your new spouse!

Depends on the size of your wedding party. If you are having a big wedding party a sweetheart table would be easier but if it's a small group (ours is three guys, three girls) you could do a head table.

@megan We have a large wedding party. 16 in total. So doing a head table is out of the question.

Ah yes that is a big wedding party. Maybe you could do a table with your best man and MOH or with both you and your FH parents so it isn't just you two.

I agree that I don't love the thought of our own table and feeling as though people are looking at us, but I don't think that people are going to be staring as we eat..they'll be eating as well. I am looking forward to having a little bit of time semi to ourselves though and there would too many people for a head table once we included dates/spouses/kids, etc.

We aren't, but we have a restaurant reception, and only a MOH/Best Man for the bridal party. So we are going to sit with them (and dates), FH's sister and her spouse, and FH's best friends.

I love the sweetheart table... especially if the s.o. Of people in the wedding party would be sitting alone/with no one they know. Plus, if you actually get to sit for five minutes and eat, it will be nice to have a moment to sit with your new husband just the two of you

We are doing a sweetheart table so our wedding party can sit with their SOs. Don't forget that your immediate families will (hopefully) be assigned tables nearest you, so they won't be far away anyway

We are doing the sweetheart table. Our bridal party is happier sitting with friends and family. I'd rather them be happy, and just deal with a few hours of awkwardly being center stage. Not like we wouldn't be anyway!

We are leaning towards a sweetheart table and we have a small party.

I'm not planning on sitting much anyway!

I don't really like them. I would actually prefer to be sitting with our families because I rarely ever see them. Probably like once every 3 years so this will be a time for me to reconnect and make new memories.

We didn't really want a sweetheart table but we are going to have one. My family is incredibly small (parents, brother, grandmother). Of course I wanted to keep them together. FH has five siblings plus his parents. So if we invited my brother we would have to invite his plus their SOs. We would have had 17 people altogether so that wouldn't work. (Will also mention our wedding is 55 guests so 1/3 of our guests would have been at one table. Didn't make much sense for us to do it.

We are doing a sweetheart table, our friends and family in the bridal party are loud AF and I want to be able to at least hear my FH from time to time LOL

I look forward to having a sweetheart table. I want my bridal party to enjoy themselves sitting with their family and friends.

We're doing like a king's table. Feels like both sweetheart and head table are moreso "display" tables... So we'll be sitting w our (small) wedding party and their SOs, our parents, and hopefully our grandmas too

We are having a sweetheart table. I always planned on doing a head table, but it makes more sense not to so that our bridal party isn't split from their significant others/families.

Oh snap, I knew it was something I forgot about..the sweetheart table lol. Following

I'm doing a sweetheart table. I figured it would be nice to sit down together just the two of us.

We are doing a sweet heart table.

What about a head table with both sets of parents?
