Seating Alternatives/no Bridal Party Table

Hello! So my FH and I are trying to figure out seating arrangements for the bridal party. Neither of us are huge fans of the traditional bridal party table (and the “Last Supper” table, as my FH likes to call it😂). We’d like to put the bridal party with their friends and family. Plus we have two in the bridal party with children, and almost all of them have SOs. We just didn’t want to separate them. We know it’s not a long time, but we want everyone to be comfortable too.

So! Because of that, we’re trying to figure out where we’d like to sit. We’re also not fond of the whole sweetheart table thing (we’re weird about stuff like that haha). We’re thinking of having a table with us and our immediate family members, and then positioning it so we’re still the focal point of the night.

For those who didn’t roll with a bridal party table, what did ya do? Thank you!
