Sweet heart / head table help

I had responded to another coversation of this same topic before.

My personal advice is stick to a Sweetheart Table rather than a long table breaking the SO from their partners. Another bride was worried about the same thing and didn't want to split them up.

We had a sweetheart table since i hadn't wanted the wedding party and my parents didn't want to sit with us feeling uncomfortable.

I love the sweetheart table idea - lets the bridal party be with their partners, and I think it also helps the bride and groom slow down a bit and be present in the moment. I know if I had my bridal party sitting beside me I'd be too focused on the group and their commentary.

I was once the significant other who was placed at a random table. It was not fun whatsoever. I was aquatinted with the people at my table, but the entire time I was wishing I were sitting with my (now) FH.

I’d say do a sweetheart table with just you two.

We are doing a sweetheart table. We have 3 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen, and aside from 2 of them, they all have outside significant other's... so we are going to sit alone, and then have the bridal parties and their S.O.'s sit at Tables 1 - 3.

It gives us time alone to sit together, and it allows everyone to sit with the S.O.

If the significant others know someone else at the wedding, sit them with those people. We are doing a head table and many of the significant others are friends with or at least familiar with someone else at the wedding.

In this case I would do just a sweetheart table, or if you really want a head table have your wedding party.

The SO's should understand that this is the norm at weddings, and you can seat them all together with friends or family you think they would get along with!

I have 5 bridesmaids and my FH has 5 groomsmen so we decided that we will have a sweetheart table (as long as the venue can do it!). But at the same time I don't mind the idea of having the wedding party at the head table. Because we have such a large party, all the S/O's would be sitting together and know each other because we are a big friend group. So if your wedding party's S/O's know each other then I wouldn't worry about them sitting elsewhere. You usually only take at most an hour to sit and eat and during which they would be watching a video of the bride and groom or listening to a speech anyway.

Sweetheart table would probably be best.

but depending on your relationship with the S/Os. you could have them sit at the head table and just change the shape up a bit.

Ive seen with a small wedding party. instead of a straight table across. it was like a stretched out U like this. \_/ they sat middle. and then bridal party dates on each side.

A sweetheart table for you and your fiancée is probably a better alternative as it seems a bit rude to separate your bridesmaids and groomsmen from their S/Os.

This way you technically have a head table, but your bridesmaids and groomsmen can sit together at another with their S/Os.
