^^ Thats the best I can explain it. We say it a thousand times on here... Just because your friends/Social circle does something a certain way does not make it proper etiquette. Please seat couples TOGETHER.

All of our BP were couples, not sure why some people think that's weird?? Whatever. We did a sweetheart table and it worked out that the BP all had their own table.

This is the exact reason we're doing a sweetheart table and not a head table with the BP. Two of our bridal party have significant others not in the party so we wanted them to be able to sit together for dinner. When I went to FSIL wedding, FH was a groomsmen and I essentially couldn't get near him half the night because he was at the head table and I was at a table across the room. It was quite annoying, even if I was sitting with people I know. I highly suggest doing a sweetheart table and letting your bp sit with significant others and/or their families.

I just attended a wedding this past weekend where I was a bridesmaid and FH came all the way from Texas to be my date. He didn't know anyone (but is super outgoing thankfully) so I introduced him to my friends and he sat with them for the ceremony. It was pretty casual, I never sat at the head table, because I felt like it was rude that FH bought a plane ticket out here and I left him with my friends haha. Bride didn't care. One of her bridesmaids is married and he ended up sitting in my seat at the head table to be next to his wife (I think he was also there and didn't now many people). For this reason I will be having a sweetheart table.

Your best man is the Caterer? Yikes! Sounds like you have bigger problems than the head table.

Honestly we have sweetheart table and then a head table. We have the SO of our bridal party siting together. We didn't receive any complaints about it. It is only for the dinner portion.
