If you mean, sitting together at a separate table, then yes, that is what we did. It worked out well and we didn't have to worry that we would offend anyone by not sitting with them at their table. If you mean sitting a part at separate tables, then I would think that a little strange because you are getting married and it is supposed to be a celebration of the start of your new life together.
@noritake22: I meant together. Thanks
Thanks everyone, I've wondered for a while now what a sweetheart table was. I related it to the neckline on a dress and thought how could a table relate to the shape of a neckline lol.
LOVED our sweetheart table! It was so nice to have some "alone" time!
yup, we are, except we're also having our kids sitting with us.
Unless we go total medieval on everyone, then it'll change things around a lot, lol. We'll know for certain about that next month!
Did I not know it was called a sweetheart table as I'm in Britain and it's done more in the US? Or is that my reasoning to cover my dumbness lol
@Prewitt: Sweetheart tables have been growing in popularity here in the states. I wouldn't be surprised if they're less common in Britain. If it makes you feel any better, I didn't know what a sweetheart table was until my friend got married last year and said she was having one!
We're doing it! Looking forward to it too.
IDK what other people think, but I want a table on stage for just me and my groom and no one else. The day is about us. So we will sit alone. The bridal party will be allowed to sit directly on the floor in front of us or whereever they would like.
I would highly recommend a sweetheart table setting. We did it for our wedding and our wedding party had reserved tables just below us. It made it nice because they were able to sit with their dates who weren't in the wedding. The location we had our wedding/reception at actually had us up on a tiny stage ;) it was probably about 6-8 inches off the floor- it was cute, lol.
We did a sweetheart table as well and it worked out perfectly for us! :)
Like all the bee's were saying, yes, very common- we were deciding between the sweetheart tabel or having all our best friends aka bridesmaids and groomsmen at our table and since we are VERY social people, we thought we might be lonely sitting by ourselves ;)
yes we plan on having a sweetheart table... I figured that would give us some time together during the reception.. and i know theres going to be some wedding day drama so we also wanted a place for us to be able to talk sh*t without being over heard by anyone else LOL
@Prewitt: I our case, we are going away on honeymoon for a week after the wedding, so we will have lots and lots of alone time. We really want to have fun with our friends at the wedding, we will still sneek in special alone time, but I think its the best decision for us. Hope you can come to a decision that works for you :)
I thought about it but I really want to sit with our best man/maid of honors!
I've seen it at other weddings and the sweetheart table looks...sweet. :)
Absolutely! I like the idea, but we aren't using it. :o)
Yeah, I've never seen this done in the UK. It sounds like a good idea (if only because you don't have to sit with your parents :) ). Not sure what our older relatives would make of it though - if I was going to do it I would have to think quite carefully about that.
@RainStorm: Mmm I said to my Mum about it last night and she didn't like the idea
Everyone: I love the idea but after much thought I think we're going to sit with the maids, best man and parents. I like to social aspect of that.
@Mrs.tobe: bahahahahaha was going to message you and pink.sequins to inform you lol It's currently in the process of changing...........
@Prewitt:Uh oh... what are you changing it to now?? You better hurry up and decide, I'm not sure I like you just being the lil' bee guy. bahahahaha!
@Mrs.tobe: I know I feel naked looking at that bee. I've decided and uploaded, but you know what it's like, it takes a while to show. Think you'll like it.
I think it's a cute idea, but probably not something for FI and I. We're dishing out all this money for our families and friends to party with us, we want them to be able to *party* with us!
@Prewitt: The anticipation is killing me!
@Miss Godiva: Where'd you come from?!
Yes definitely. Its more intimate
