Wedding Party sits with us? What about their spouses?

Maybe put both those spouses together at a table with people you think they will socialize with well. I think this is why alot of people are going the "sweetheart table" route. That's what we did and it was so much better than the usual long table with the wedding party. We had our own private two-seat table and the wedding party sat at VIP tables out with the guests so they could sit with their spouses and the other guests. It worked perfectly. But honestly...I don't think it will be as big of an issue as you think for their spouses to sit with the rest of the guests. It's a wedding, they should understand.

Thank you all for your help. I honestly would rather not have a head table..its just not me..but they have them already set up and your arent allowed to move the head tables, also they are quiiet large so if its just him and I up there the fact that the size of the head table and us just being only ones there would look odd (least to me). This is @ one place we are thinking about..its at the top of my list but there are pro's and con's..trying to see what place is right for us. Thanks again!!

I'm just going to ask them how they want to do it. Most of the bridal party is married to another member of the bridal party so it's not a huge deal in our case. We are going to have a big head table though.

My husband was a groomsman at his sisters wedding, and I was seated separately from him. He satc at the head table. It made me so upset, I felt so disrespected as a wife. Its awkward and uncomfortable for the spouses to be separated. When I voiced my opinion to my mother in law (one week prior to the wedding when I found out), i was told that my opinion doesn't matter.
