Seating! (children and babies of wedding party)

I had a similar issue, although my SIL tells me she was looking forward to handing off her kids for the wedding. We have decided to let/make our wedding party sit with their significant others and/or friends and just do a sweetheart table. We want to include a couple of extra chairs that are designated as visiting chairs at our sweetheart table so people feel welcome to come as talk to us, when we aren't roaming the room.

I don't think we'll have a "kids table". We are looking at around 10-12 kids, all under 7 (except 1 who will be 12, and he has already shown lots of interest in helping, so we'll see!) Literally 1/6th of our reception will be kids under 7! Hahaha. But I wouldn't have it any other way, they are my siblings kids (I'm one of 6 kids, and most of my siblings have 2+ kids themselves).

We will have some kid-friendly activities, so I will take a look at that article for some ideas!

If i was in your situation I would just do a sweetheart table for just you and your FH and let the rest of your bridal party sit with their significant others and their families ... makes things alot easier

We are doing a sweetheart table as well, so the wedding party can sit with their SO's

Hey Jessica! I'm so happy to read you in here! I think you already got great feedback, let us know what you decide! Have you thought of any activities you'd like to have for the kids? iI thought you might like these, they're super sweet:

I think that's a fine idea. We're doing a sweetheart table (just FH and I), this way I sat my wedding party with circles of friends they'd be most comfortable with and FH and I can have a little time to ourselves

We are doing the same... Bridal party will sit with their families and a few bachelor friends of mine who are helping with the wedding and his son will sit with us.

I think your solution will work very well! I'm sure your bridal party will appreciate your consideration

My head table is going to be myself and my fiancé. It is not logical for us to have a head table as all our wedding party has significant others.

Hi Jessica! I think that's a great idea and it sounds like it would work best for your needs! We had an uneven wedding party and wanted them to be able to sit with their significant others and family so we did a sweetheart table for just the two of us and then did two "family tables" on either side of us, so the wedding party was still close. My husband's Best Man was able to sit with his wife and son and we were able to put other close family members at the tables too like our moms and my husband's grandma. I hadn't thought we would do a sweetheart table but it worked out well! We had a lot of people come up and talk to us during dinner too which was a great way to visit and since it was just a small table, they could easily get to us.
