    My FH and I are only having a MOH and BM. They are both from out of state and won't know anyone, so we are sitting them at the head table with us. So it'll be Me, my MOH next to me and her boyfriend on the end. My FH will be next to him, his BM will be next to him and BM's wife on the end.

    You could just do a sweetheart table with just you and your FH and sit the wedding party as guests to they can sit with their s/o's

    I would seat all bridal party members with their spouses, no matter what. It is inconsiderate to split up couples during dinner, especially if the spouse doesn’t know anyone else. I would either add them to the head table, or do a sweetheart table with just you and your fiancé and seat the BP with their spouses at tables, like just all the other guests.

    Everyone who's coming to the wedding should be seated with their SO. It's not good to split up couples.

    Usually the head table is all the wedding party, if you can fit them and their dates. If your wedding party is too big for that, you can spread them around the room. I'm doing a sweetheart table so our "head table" will technically be our parents. Our bridesmaids will be spread around the room because I figure they would have more fun sitting with people their own age.

    I would always seat guests with their SOs no matter what. If that means seating people at the head table who aren't in the wedding party, then that's what I'd do. Or you could always have a sweetheart table instead!

    I have seen a lot of recent weddings where it’s only the bride and groom at the head table - and we will be doing that as well. I would seat your maid of honor with him.

    I'm doing something akin to a head table. It's a head table that's broken up into three chunks. My bridesmaids and their guest of choice. Us at a sweetheart table in the middle. Then the groomsmen with their guest.

    This is why most people don't do head tables anymore. We skipped it a d had a sweetheart table and set the bridal party at tables with their significant others.

    We did a sweetheart table for this very reason. Our party sat with their s.o and people they knew just to keep from any conflict and oversized tables.

    Yep I would seat them with their SO. It's rude to separate couples.
