Sweetheart Table

Cellie, on July 3, 2019 at 7:13 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 52
Is anyone doing a sweetheart table versus head table? Thinking about the sweetheart table option because almost everyone in our wedding party is brining 4+ guests/family and it may be nice for them to be able to sit together during dinner.

Also looking for pictures and ideas! We are having our wedding in a ballroom in a hotel and have the option of a small round or 6 foot table on risers.

    I’m 100% team sweetheart table. No need to separate your bridal party from their dates/families, plus it’s nice to have a few minutes alone with your new spouse.

    I love the sweetheart table to give you a few minutes to yourself that day. Search Pinterest for lots of cute ideas for your table.

    We are doing a sweetheart table with children included as well! We really didn't wan to separate our bridal party guests from their significant other. We will have our sweetheart table up on risers and then on the floor in front of us, we will have 4 tables. 2 tables with our bridal party, their significant other, and their kids, and then the other two tables will have our parents and grandparents. We are using different centerpieces for those tables as well as different colored table linens. This will have them stand out and let guests know who the bridal party and families are without having a head table!

    I agree, I’d like to have our party sit with their families, significant others and so on. We’re going to figure out a sweetheart table so our three little ones can be included, I just think it will be the sweetest thing. There are plenty of cute ideas out there. Amazon has some inexpensive things to make your sweetheart table complete

    We're also on Team Sweetheart Table. It seemed a lot easier with the seating chart, and we're going to have our table linens be white with a shear navy topper, while the rest of the tables will just be navy.

    We are doing a sweetheart table for similar reasons. We want our bridal party to be seated with their SOs/family/other friends. We also want that time to kind of be alone. My FH is a comedian so it will be so nice to be able to hear his commentary in some sort of privacy lol

    I think we are leaning towards a sweethearts table. I bought a silver Mr. & Mrs. sign to hang in front. Then I’ll probably do some small votives and then a vase for my bouquet

    Our venue has a sweetheart table already in place so that’s what we are going with.

    We’re doing a sweetheart table. My MOH is the only one in our bridal party that has a family/date, but I’d imagine the other girls would still want to sit together at another table. I’d like to have a little more space to be “alone” and take a few moments during dinner to really enjoy her company.

    I'm definitely doing a sweetheart table! It's our day and it makes us stand out more. Plus most of our wedding party is in a relationship/married so we don't want to separate them.

    We are doing a sweetheart table too. Our venue is an outdoor pavilion and isn't overly large so we thought a head table would take up too much space. Plus I think the idea of our bridal party being able to sit with their S/O or family is better. I think our table is a 4 ft rectangular one. We'll get a matching table cloth to go with the other tables and we have a couple of personal decorations for it.

    We will be doing a sweetheart table for FH, me, and our two kids (though they will probably want to sit with their friends and we’ll have a specific kids area). I don’t want to separate our WP from their dates, especially since their SO’s don’t know anyone else except us, and if the BM brings a date she won’t know anyone.

    I'm definitely team sweatheart table. Weddings become so isolated for +1's when you're separated from your loved ones - and weddings should be a time of joy, not sorry for yourself. It also gave us much needed breather from everything.

    We did a sweetheart table. It allowed the two of us a few moments of alone time to touch base in the wedding craziness. It also allowed our wedding parties to sit with their significant others which I am sure they were grateful.
