headtable

Who are you having at your headtable? is it just bride, groom and bridal party or are you including parents as well?

    oh! I like the idea of sweetheart table for you and groom and other table for bridal party. You see I don't want to separate bridal party form their dates for too long. Once, I was in the bridal party at my friend's wedding and I just hated being separated from my beloved for so long. Thanks for sharing your idea!

    Definitely doing a sweet heart table! I am not sure what we are going to do with the rest of the bridal party.

    We have a small bridal party (2 for the bride, and 2 for the groom).

    We're doing a sweetheart table with just my FI and I.
    Instead of doing head tables, we are going to have each of our bridal party (with their SO) will 'host'  an individual guest table.

    Shoot! I haven't even thought of that. Sounds like the sweetheart table with our son is a good option though. I'm sure our GMs and BMs don't want to be away from their families and other halves.

    We are doing a sweetheart table.  I have an aversion to head tables, I hate when the bridal party has to sit at the front and everyone is just watching you talk, eat....sit there all alone because your date is on the other side of the room at some back table.  Just my opinion.  I wanted my bridal party to be seated with their families, so we are reserving some tables for them and their families and guests.  And our sweetheart table will be mixed in with the guest tables.

    We're doing a sweetheart table.  We don't have any attendants to worry about and we're sticking our parents at tables where we think they would have the best convos.

    We didn't want to be seperated from our guest so we are doing host tables. We will be seated at a table with a couple of our closest friends that were not in the bridal party. Each set of parents will be at a table with their closest friends. The bridal party members will be at a table with their spouses/dates and people they associate with, or people we have put at their table that are the same age or have something in common with.

    We are doing a sweetheart table - letting our wedding party sit with their spouse/guest at their own tables.

    I think we will also have a sweetheart table since it will only be me and my FI (no wedding party).Our venue has a small room where we will eat something really quick after the ceremony...just in case we really don't have time to eat during dinner (since pple will more than likely want to talk and hug and do everything else but sit down and eat). LOL

    We're not having a head table, a sweet heart table or anything like that.  We're just having a cocktail reception, and we're only seating half of our guests, 'cause I want folks up and mingling.

    We were gonna do a head table with the entire party, but now that I think about it most of them may prefer to sit with their guest. Sounds like I'll be discussing the idea of a sweetheart table with my FI.
