Where do I sit Bridal Party dates?

You can sit the dates either at the head table with the BP or separately.

I would really not suggest separating them because think if your husband/FH is in someones BP and has to sit all evening at different table , not fun right?

We are doing a sweetheart table then two tables close to ours for the BP so that they can sit there with their families!Maybe that is something you can look into

We are also doing a sweetheart table than the bridal party can sit with their dates. I have done it both ways as a bridesmaid, and its sooo nice to be able to sit with your date!!

Is there room for him at the family table? my sister/moh is bringing a date but the point of having a head table is for the bridal party. they only have to sit thru dinner then people mingle and dance so it shouldn't be too much of a chore.

We are doing a sweetheart table and letting the bridal party sit where they want. I would hate to have to sit apart from FH during a wedding, so I decided that I wouldn't do that to anyone else.

We did a sweetheart table and had our bridal party and their spouses sit at the 2 closest tables. i dont think its right to separate spouses so they can sit with the bride & groom and i also enjoyed having dinner with just my husband on our wedding day. more romantic :]

It's best if you sit them together with their dates. Otherwise at the first possible second your bridal party will be gone from the head table and off sitting with their date somewhere else, which defeats the purpose of a head table.

A sweetheart table is DEFINITELY the best option.

Sweetheart table it is!! Thanks ^_^

I just asked my FH the same question. He said it's very rude to have a sweet heart table and it's rude to make the BP sit away from their dates/spouses. He said he was at a head table at a wedding and the whole BP and dates were at the table. I think that's weird?

I would say sweetheart table... thinking about doing the same.

@arlala555 I think its become the norm to have the bridal party's dates to sit with them then to have them sit alone

@arlala - that's what we are doing too! We have our BP and their dates sit with us at the head table. Why is it weird ?

Sweetheart table all the way!

I just thought it would look funny. I wanted the person in my bridal party not their date. Plus I wanted it to look kinda royal. I need to see how many a head table would hold anyways. personally I think the table would look way too crowded.

Our bridal party will be sitting at the head table and their spouses/dates will have a table together. We are planning on getting together for bowling, mudding, fun together etc so that way their spouses/dates will know each other. The way we see it, we are paying A LOT for nice photographs of the bridal party at the head table. We asked each one to be with us on our special day so they shouldn't be ticked that for an hour or so they aren't with the person they brought. After dinner no one will be at the head table anyway so I don't see anything wrong with them sitting with us for a little bit.

We have a set up of a sweetheart table for us then long tables extending forward, like a long skinny U. Bridal party and guest on the inside and family on the outside.

We are doing a head table and any dates will sit with the family of their date or with their friends who are also attending the wedding.

I think you should just sit them at a table with someone they know and can chat with. Like family if they know them or friends the same age. Most weddings I've been to they only have had the bridal party at the head table and the significant others of those in the bridal party sitting somewhere else. I figure I've had to be that person sitting at another table so other people can deal too. Its not like you are sitting there all night anyway.

I would sit them with their dates. It is always nice to be able to sit with people you know.

I don't understand why there would be someone in your wedding party who has a date that will not know a single other person at the wedding. Everyone in my wedding I am very close with. Therefore I am close with their husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or date. There is no reason they can't sit with other people while their date who is in the wedding party is sitting at the head table.
