    Sweetheart table, Bridesmaid's table on my side and groomsmen's table on FH side

    A combo - we are each just having one person sit with us (my Lady of Honor and my fiancee's Honor Guard Captain) and the rest of the bridal parties can sit with people they are close to.

    We are doing a sweetheart table. It gives us some time to ourselves and our bridal party a chance to sit with their significant others.

    I love the idea of a sweetheart table. I want to be able to enjoy some small moments with him that I may not be able to enjoy with a head table.

    We will have a sweetheart table, as I would like our wedding party to sit at round tables to get to know one another better. Rather than having them lined up, sitting next to those they don't know, and having to talk over one another. I feel like it's not only awkward, but is rude to talk over people in a line, when you can all be rounded out - it evens it out nicely.

    Head table, We do not like being that much center of attention and the ones standing up are siblings so it will be nice

    We're having a head table just because while it is your day, they are a special part of it. Many of them, their spouse is in the wedding too.

    Head table! All my bffs/bridal party are from out of town and I see them a few times a year. IMO your wedding reception isn’t about “private moments” - if we wanted that we would have eloped! We’ll seat the other halves of bridal party members together or with other people they know. I don’t plan on people being seated for very long anyway!!

    I LOVE the idea of a sweetheart table and then have our bridal party and their spouses flanking either side, so they're close, but not right up in our business so we can have a few seconds of privacy while we enjoy dinner.

    We're going with a head table. I don't want to be isolated from my wedding party.

    Absolutely a head table! A sweetheart table would be SO boring to me! Having no one to talk to, except my FH. Which is fine, but I want to be close to my party.

    We’ll be sitting with our children. So I guess neither, really.
