WP Seating

We are doing a sweetheart table so our WP can sit with their dates.

Would you put all the WP and dates at the same table or seat them like any other guests and put them with the other guests they hang out with most?

I was planning to scatter them throughout the tables so they are all sitting in their "circle" but my MOH told me she thinks I should put all the GMs, BMs, and dates together and one table?

Not sure...

    I would prefer to sit with people I knew, if it was at all possible. Will they all know other people there?

  • We sat our WP members and their dates with other people that they knew.

  • Stick with your plan!
  • I like your idea of "scattering" them.
  • We're going to place them at different tables. When I think about, the 7 people in our WP will be at 5 different tables.
  • We sat the WP at one table, with their dates.  We had 3 BMs and 3 groomsmen.  When I have  been in weddings, I don't mind sitting with the WP even if they are not my friends.

  • Ours were around the room with their SO and with people they would normally sit.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • Ours were spread around the room. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • ours will be at the same table with their dates, but it worked out that those people are the people they would sit with anyway.  Its fine to have them spread out with your guests, so at the end of the day do what you think is best for your set-up.

  • I personally like the mingling of WP and guests, it seems less like a hierarchy system...
