Seating Chart Help!

Hi Ladies,
My FI and I are having a sweetheart table.  We have a very small bridal party so they will be sitting with their dates at tables with their respective family/friends.

I know generally you put the tables with your bridal parties closest to the sweetheart table, but since both of our best man/maids of honor will be with friends of ours do I put the table with our parents closest to us and then the table with the MOH and BM?  I'm not sure what to do?

You can put them wherever makes sense.  Your parents might appreciate more being at the tables near you.  Your WP might appreciate being at tables near the dance floor or DJ.  Do what makes sense.

The table closest to us had our parents. Our groomswoman was near us, but my bridesmaids were across the room and at separate tables from each other.

Our WP is actually going to be furthest from us. We figure that they'll be the loudest and rowdiest group and the ones on the dance floor the whole time, so we put them at the tables nearer to the dance floor. The tables closest to us are our parents and then the table that has my great aunts and grandfather - they're all a little hard of hearing so we wanted them as far from the music as possible.

Do what works for you!

We set our family tables down the room on either side of us, and the WP tables (there are two) right in front of us. Because of the setup, and because one of the BMs requested certain table guests, we could only put MOH, Best Man, and some of my attendants at the table directly in front of us. Right behind that table is the table with the BM and as many of her requested WP guests we could fit (because of table space restrictions, we could not fit Best Man and family there--which she had requested). You can really do it however you want. For our setup, my priority was putting family, MOH and Best Man nearest to us, followed by the rest of the WP.

Really, you can do it however you want, as long as you don't split up families/couples, and I'd recommend seating people who know each other together.

My girls have had sweetheart tables at their weddings so far.  They have put the 3 parent tables closest and seated the WP after that.  In all honesty, the WPs haven't known each other much at all so the kids decided who to have at their tables so they could have dinner with close friends rather than BM's and GM's they didn't know.

Each set of parents hosted their own table and decided who would sit with whom there.  My SIL's didn't give a flying frog's fanny about the seating chart for their families so the MOGs did their side.  The kids decided which friends would sit together.  Easy peasy.
