Head table or sweetheart table and why?

I've been to a wedding where the BM's and GM's sat at a head table with the bride and groom and their spouses. The table was HUGE. So it depends on how many are in your BP. We are doing a sweetheart because not only will the BP want to sit with their date/spouse but they also want to sit with the rest of our friends/family coming. The bride and groom aren't even at the table for very long anyways.

We are having sweetheart table. A lot of our BP have spouses and children. But we have set up VIP tables up front so that our parents, grandparents, and BP (and their families) can be near us.

Sweet heart table. It stinks if someone's SO is in the party and they aren't and the SO is at head table and they can't be. It is especially lousy when you don't know anyone but your SO at the wedding. I prefer seating couples together so everyone is happier.

We are doing a sweetheart table because we loved the set up at our venue. Our bridesmaids and groomsmen are not being forced to sit with one another and will be comfortably seated with their spouses or dates. When it comes down to it my FH and I do not intend to spend much time at the table because we have to make sure we are thanking everyone for attending.

Not sure what this is called but FH and I will be sitting with our nuclear families. (Although, sitting may be a relative term as we may be roaming around greeting everyone!)

Have a King Table, that's what we are doing. All of the BM and GM sit with their spouses/significant others at the head table. I did not want to make my cousins husband sit with his in-laws. So our head table is now 22 people and in the shape of a U

@FB99 I don't see another one. I'm on mobile. I google searched but everything that came up was old and I think times are shifting with this topic.

Sweetheart table because I want the WP to be able to sit with their dates and there would be too many of them to sit all at one head table. Plus a couple of my BMs might not have dates so I don't want them to feel awkward surrounded by a bunch of couples. Plus some of my bridesmaids are really good friends with some of my other wedding guests who aren't part of the wedding party and I would think it would be nice for them to sit together at dinner.

I think we're planning on doing a sweetheart table. Everybody tells me the day goes by so quickly. I'd like to have a few moments together with my groom to slow down a bit and just have some one-on-one moments to take the day in. I also agree that the con of a head table as that the bridal party wouldn't get a chance to sit with their spouses.

Sweet heart table! I actually prefer it as members of the bridal party can sit with their spouses and kids.

We're doing a sweetheart table so all of the BM and GM can sit with their spouses, tend to their kids etc. And I'll probably just wanna chit chat with my new hubby

"I know one con of a head table is that BMs GMs don't sit with their spouses"

It's not a con. It's rude AF.

We're doing a head table with FH, myself, best man, and MOH (MOH and best man are dating) and then table 1 will seat the rest of the bridal party with their SOs.

I'm pro sweetheart table. I want to sit with my new husband and eat. And yes. We will be sitting and eating. And our venue isn't big enough to do a head table for our whole BP and their spouses. So everyone else will be at tables.

We did a sweetheart table. My sisters, their significant others, and my step-kids (the bridal party) sat at the guest tables.

We are having a sweetheart table. Our decision is to allow our BP sit with their families and SO. I want them to enjoy themselves and not be uncomfortable.

We are doing a sweetheart table but we hardly have a bridal oarty

Neither. We are just sitting at a regular round table with our kids, our siblings/spouses, and MOH and best man (they are both Single and not bringing dates) the rest of the wedding party will be eating with their families.

We did a sweetheart table. Half of our bridal party have children and s/o that I wasn't going to split up, and the others are all married or in long term relationships. It was nice to have our own little space to sit and talk to each other, but still have our bridal party near by. And like pp have said, depending on your bridal party a head table could take up a bunch of space

We had a head tables and I found out where their spouse would like to sit and place them there..
