Wedding Party Seating

Personally I’m not a fan of splitting people up from their significant others. We went with a sweetheart table and sat our wedding party amongst the guests. But I’ve also seen a kings table which is where significant others sit at the head table with you.

I didn't do a sweetheart table either. So I sat with my wedding party along with their plus ones and or partners

I got chewed out on here for asking this question, please sit the SO’s together with their spouses at the wedding party table. 🙄

I’m planning to have a sweetheart table. But for you I’d recommend seating the wedding party and their SOs to a nearby table so they’re not so far away.

Honestly I think it’s your day and what you decide goes... we’re having a sweet heart table and the bridal will be sitting along side us the SO with be at a table right next to us! I think it will be just fine it’s only during dinner, they aren’t confined to that seat for the entire night, to me it’s almost like going off to take photos the SO aren’t included in that but hey i think it’s okay imo🙃🤭

We only have a small wedding party but we are seating them with their significant others and at the tables and sitting at a sweetheart table near and between the guest tables. I dont think it's cool to split up couples (no fun for them). I also find sitting on one side of a long table makes them feel on display and it's not very social to sit in a line. They cant really talk with anyone other than those sitting beside them. We will be close to our guests but have the pleasure of sitting together by ourselves. I think it takes the pressure off and allows everyone to enjoy themselves talking with other family and friends. However, you should do what you feel is best for you. I just wouldn't split up couples. Allow dates to sit with the wedding party.

We are doing 1 long family style table for the wedding party and their plus ones so everyone can sit together.

Basically 3 8ft long rectangular tables with table clothes and settings to make it look like one long table

We also took the advice of our friends who recently got married and are eating along during cocktail hour. So that when it's time for dinner, we can visit each table to say hello and take pictures with everyone.

By the time dinner is over itll just be time to dance and have fun without interruptions.

I’m having a sweetheart table and three tables of our wedding party with their SOs on one side of the dance floor. With the rest of the guests on the other side of the floor.

Its your day. Do what you want.
We are doing a head table and having the wedding party sit up there with us. Most of the wedding parties Significant others are actually in the wedding party as well. The other SOs will be sitting by people they know. And besides usually the wedding party only sits at the head table for dinner and then everyone gets up and moves around. I dont see why some people make it a huge deal. Couples have been doing head tables for years

I would do a sweetheart table & depending on your bridal size (& how many of them have a significant others) reserve a table near you! That's what we are doing (:

Plus having a sweetheart table gives you a small amount of "omg this is our wedding" time together & you two get to soak it all in!

We did a sweetheart table & sat wedding party members with their SO's & kids. Everyone was much happier. The bride & groom are up so much talking to everyone and taking pictures, you don't have time to talk to people at your table anyway.
