Are you having a head table, a sweetheart table or something else?

Sweetheart table.

minionlover · July 2012

I am thinking that we are going to do a sort of King's table. We have such a small amount of people I was thinking of setting up the tables in a T or U shape where FI & I and our brothers, (BP) would sit at the top and the rest of the family would sit down the sides.

Sweetheart and giving FI's kids the option to sit with us or the grandparents....

A semi-sweetheart/ head table. Since we have several children involved, but only 1 adult on each side, the kids will all sit with their families, and our best man and matron of honor, w/ their spouses, will sit at a round with us. It takes care of that whole "spotlight" thing that we detest about sweetheart tables, and makes the impersonality of a head table much more cozy.

We're doing a head table. I suggested a sweetheart to FI but he didn't go for it. Head tables are SUPER common in my area.

Head table

fishinflagrl · July 2012

Cathywhat a cool idea!!! We are going to do a round table and have us and our BP sit at it. The majority of our WP are couples, so it will be perfect, if they have a boyfriend not in wedding then the bf can sit with my BM at our table too. I don't like head tables bc loved ones can't sit each other during dinner. And don't want a sweetheart table bc FI and I don't like the light, plus we will be bored talking to each other. LOL

Sweetheart! I really hate head tables where you feel like you're eating on display LOL. My bridal party is happy that they actually get to sit with their dates instead of their dates having to sit by themselves with people that they don't know.

Bryan&AmyC · July 2012

We're having a sweetheart table. I love the idea of us getting a little bit of time to talk to one another, while we enjoy dinner.

music11 · July 2012

Sweetheart table for us.

SharEtoBe · July 2012

We are having a sweetheart table. At first I didn't really like the idea but my florist does such cute things to decorate the sweetheart table so now I'm really excited about it.

Sweetheart table!! I've sat with too many stranded dates during weddings to know that I didn't want to do that. I'm also hoping that it's a little bit of time that FI and I get to spend together.

ericaandtom2012 · July 2012

Head table. I wanted a sweetheart but FI did not. It's not a hill I want to die on so I let it go.

Ali092011 · July 2012

Sweetheart table.

achiduck · July 2012

I should also add that all of FI's GMs have been friends for years and their SO's all know each other very well so they won't be sitting with strangers.

On my side my MOH1's SO knows our group of friends that's invited, MOH2 is single and has said she's not bringing anyone, BM 1's SO knows another group of friends that are invited and BM2 is FSIL and her SO will sit with some of the cousins he knows very well and is comfortable with on his own. So none of the dates will be "abandoned."

goatlady12 · July 2012

I've only been to one wedding in my 25 years that had a sweetheart table, and I thought it was totally strange. Only because I'd never seen it before. Everytime I've seen people post about this topic I've thought, "What the crap is a sweetheart table?!" So, we're doing a head table. Lol!

Heath66 · July 2012

We are doing a head table. I wanted to do a sweetheart table but FI said no.

xxjen015 · July 2012

We're not really doing either. We're planning on having a table with us, my parents, his parents, our siblings and their SO's. I wanted a head table, but too many of the BP have SO's and wouldn't fit at one table, so I'm happy with how it's set up now

mpjf1001 · July 2012

Sweetheart!

mrshall1027 · July 2012

Sweetheart table here.

Ividian · July 2012

Sweetheart table.

islandmonkey8 · July 2012

Sweetheart table. Our bridal party is a mix of people, this way everyone sits with who they want to sit with!

snuff9861 · July 2012

Head table. Only my MOH is married/in a relationship and her husband will be sitting with his parents, their daughter and the inlaws. Sweetheart tables are not common in my area.

aimee58 · July 2012

We're doing a head table. I've never been to a wedding with a sweetheart table, and in our area if you're in a wedding, it's assumed that your SO will be separated from you for dinner. I would just feel awkward at a sweetheart table with everyone watching just me and FI eat.

And, like achiduck, all of your WP's SOs know each other, and those without a SO already said they don't plan on bringing a guest.

Sweetheart!

LDubHawksFan · July 2012

Sweetheart. I don't care what FI says, we are doing it (although he seemed to like it the one time we talked about it). I don't particularily care for head tables, but have never really cares too much before in weddings I've been a part of right out of college. However, now most all of our WP are married or in a committed relationship, or have a child that may attend. In fact one BM will have her 3 wk old, so there is no separating them!

I'm looking forward to just having a little time with my FI too.

kimm260 · July 2012

We don't like the idea of a Head Table because I don't want people to stare at me while I eat. We will be sitting with our bridal party at a round table. My sister is my maid of honor and her husband is a groom men so we technically only have one BP member with a date, so we should all fit.

Simply_Caitlin · July 2012

Actually both. The sweetheart table will be up on a riser behind the head table. I didn't want a head table, but my finace insisted. It wasn't worth arguing over.

reagane02 · July 2012

Sweetheat Table. I didn't want to seperate our BM and GM from their SO.

aimeek420 · July 2012

We're doing a sweetheart table, with the bridal party plus SOs seated at the next table to us, with parents/grandpa/officiant on the other side.
