Too many people in my wedding party?

I will be having 8 and my FH will be having 9, but we will be having a sweetheart table and not a head table.

We have 7 on each side, and are having a sweetheart table for us. I was told this will be the only uninterrupted time of the evening for just us two, so I like that. Even though it won't be long it still gives us time to take everything in and have a conversation with just the two of us. I also like that with doing this, the wedding party will all get to sit with their guests.

We are only doing our kids which is 3 on both sides. However , we did think about our nieces and nephews too but that's the whole wedding guest list lol so we wouldn't have any guest sitting so I decided against it but of we did we would have atleast 8 on each side.

We have 9 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen. We both hate head tables, so we won't do them. I think it's so rude to have bridesmaids & groomsmen sit by the bride & groom if they are in relationships (or just bring a plus one) or have kids.

We have six each but are only doing a sweet heart table for us because most of the bridal party are in relationships and we want them to enjoy their meal and time with their loved ones too

We had 7 bridesmaids, 2 junior bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen, 2 junior groomsmen. It wasn't too many! We didn't do a head table though, we had a sweetheart table and then had our bridal party at the 2 closest tables to us. The sweetheart table is nice! You'll appreciate getting a few minutes to talk just the two of you

I was in a wedding party with 7 on each side and we all sat at the head table!

Hey Keyaira! Did you add the additional 2 people to your wedding party? Will they all sit with you both at the top table?
