Where are you, your wedding party, and family sitting?

I'm all about the sweetheart table, and letting everyone sit with their people. This way, you get some time with your new spouse and everyone can enjoy their date.

I'm doing a head table for JUST the wedding party, (I told them they have to at least be up there for a few pics taken by the photographer) they don't have to sit up there the whole time, I am also giving them seats at the "regular" tables if they want to eat with their families.

We did a sweetheart table for us. Then my parents and their close friends were at a table, H's parents and their close friends were at a table, and our bridal party and their dates were at their own table. It worked out great.

We are doing sweetheart table and having wedding party and family sit at the tables close to us. I don't think it really matters. I wouldn't put them in the back of the room but after the ceremony there is nothing else for them to do except drink and have a good time.

I know I'm in the minority but we're doing a head table with just the bridal party. We're inviting the parents of everyone in our bridal party, because we have relationships with our friend's parents too. So our bridal party's SO will be seated together and with the parents, so they know people

Our bridal party is a mix of people from different stages in our lives. Some of them don't even know each other. To me it doesn't make sense to sit them all together. We'll have a sweet heart table and the bridal party will be sitting at various other tables. Ex. My sister will sit with family. His best friend from work will sit with other work guys.

I want everyone to sit wherever they'll have the best time.

We also did sweetheart table with bridal party sitting mixed in with other guests that made sense to seat them with

Thanks everyone! Great advice. I think I'm leaning towards sweatheart table with wedding party and dates nearby one side of us and parents/grandparents together on the other side nearby us.

We are having a small wedding with round tables in a room. We are planning to do family/BP photos with a first look prior to the ceremony, so we can go directly to the reception. If we do a receiving line, can we just sit among our guests and mingle? It's sort of heavy hors d'oeuvres/cocktail style, so people might not be sitting much anyway.

Also UO We're doing a Headtable.

I have a small BP, 4 bridesmaids and 2 groomsmen. We are having them and their dates at the head table, but they are all married and we know them all well. Plus only two of the dates aren't in the wedding. I wanted to keep us all together, I thought it would be more fun that way, and I didn't want to separate any couples.

Both my fiancé's and an my parents are divorced, so 4 tables for parents and they will be with their friends and siblings at those tables.

Choose any option that includes bridal party sitting with their SOs

We are doing option #4. We don't have a bridal party and I don't want a sweetheart table.
