    Could you have your younger daughter sit with cousins or siblings?  If there won't be anyone else her age, maybe you can ask her if she'd like to invite 1 or 2 close friends.  

    We didn't have a wedding party, so we were introduced, and our parents were introduced.  We did a walk-in intro, and then our parents were introduced from their seats--it was a little lower key, not sure if that would work for what you want.  
  • I am assuming you will have some sort of family table--grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc.?  I would sit your daughter there, provided she is close to them.

    We didn't introduce our wedding party (ours was similar to yours), only we were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. 
  • If you get a chance, come on over to the Second Wedding board. Very nice ladies and lots of great ideas.

    We were older when we married last August. We had us, our parents, our kids at one table (plus one of my BM who was there alone from out of town). If you are not totally "wedded" (no pun intended) to the sweetheart table idea, this was something we really liked and looked forward to.

    If you want the sweetheart table, I think the recommendations above are great.
