    Head table but with our kids instead of wedding party. Our wedding party will all be at a table with their partners

    Sweetheart table! Smiley smile

    We thought it would be good to get that somewhat alone time. Also, it allows us to sit our wedding party with their +1, so no one feels awkward.

    We did a sweetheart table. I thought it would attract way too much attention but everyone was into eating their dinner and chatting that no one paid us any mind. It was nice for us to sit together, just the two of us, as husband and wife.

    Sweatheart table for us, we like the idea of just being to chat to one another but still mingle as the night goes on.

    I'm the same way! I hate attention, so having a sweetheart table would've been horrible for me!

    We are having a small wedding so I think a sweetheart table might be nice. This way our wedding party can sit with their boyfriends/Girlfriends. I’ll talk to the wedding party and see what they’d like to do. I didn’t even know that was a think. I like it. Great question. Thanks for asking it. I learned from it.

    Sweetheart table. We aren’t having a formal wedding party and this way everyone can sit with people who they are comfortable with.

    Sweetheart table. We have such a small wedding that if we made a head table, half our guests would be sitting at it lol.

    Head table. I don't want all the attention on me all day, so having other people up there feels like it will take some of the attention off me. Plus, I have the rest of my life to sit at a table with just my fiance (hubby at that point!)

    I am having a MASSIVE head table.. 16 people I think. We're doing a U shaped table because I want to be able to talk to as many people as possible. We're inviting our bridal party as well as their partners to sit with us because I don't like splitting up couples.

    We are having a sweetheart table. We wanted our friends and family to be able to sit together and this way, we also get a little bit of alone time.

    Head table! Much preferably! We get to have the meal with out best friends plus we don't like the "spotlight/centre of attention" feel if the sweetheart.
