Sweetheart Table vs Head Table

Either, as long as SO is sitting with wedding party, may take 2 tables.

We're doing a sweetheart table. We'd like our wedding party to sit with their dates. We wouldn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable and we don't want a super huge table. Its not like we'd be able to see or hear everyone anyway.

We did a sweetheart table. Made having our bridal party sit with their SOs a million times easier.

We did a head table because we had to pay extra for a sweetheart table

I know it’s traditional and to each their own but I hate head tables lol. I want to sit with my date especially since weddings are so romantic. FBIL did a head table and FH was in the wedding party. I sat with my future in laws which was was fine for me since they’re my family. But I felt bad for the best mans date who also sat at our table and didn’t know us or really anyone else at the wedding. Luckily we’re nice haha. I think sweetheart is so cute. I’ve also seen people just have their MOH and BM at their table. I think we’ll do sweetheart and then tables nearest us have BMs and their dates at one table and GMs and their dates at another.

We had farm tables and sat with our guests. But as a BM, I hate head tables unless significant others are included.

We're doing a sweetheart table to allow attendants to sit with friends and significant others

I personally hate the idea of a sweetheart table. For me I would feel like it would be a bit of a spectacle just us two sitting at the front, even though yes it would be our wedding, but each to their own.

We are doing a head table for sure!

We're doing a head table.

One because I don't think our venue has an option for sweetheart (I could be wrong but, it was never mentioned). Two I agree with a pp. As much as I love my FH, I don't want the two of us to be by ourselves at a table. Others have pointed out about bridal party being able to sit with POs easier when you do a sweetheart but, that doesn't super apply to us. All our bridal party (and their POs) are part of the same friend group so it's just hanging out with friends.

I was in a wedding last year that had a head table and my FH was sitting by himself with people he wasn't familiar with. He is a social butterfly so he was able to make conversation easily. In my opinion, dinner is only an hour and a half at most, so really, either way is not a big deal.

We did a sweetheart table, and that allowed our BP to sit with families/SOs/friends.

We’re doing a sweetheart table. Not sure how it’s going to be next year but we plan on a buffet style & the caterer will be serving us.

We aren’t really doing either. My teenage sons will sit with us and my MOH and BM aren’t bringing their significant others (out of town/state) so they’ll also sit at our table. We will try to sit everyone else with their own family or people we know that they’re already socializing with due to Covid.

We are leaning towards a sweetheart table, but I am unsure because we also want to give my son the option of sitting with us.

We did a sweetheart table. It was so nice to have those few minutes alone with my new husband and be able to catch our breath. It also allows bridal parties to sit with the SO.
