Are you doing the type of head table where you only have members of the wedding party at the table?
Well if you are having a smaller wedding party, I think parents at the head table is acceptable. In my hometown, that's actually the norm, no matter how big the wedding party is. The only reason we aren't doing parents at the head table is because our venue doesn't really have room for a head table that big.
The other option is to have a head table and a junior head table. We are thinking of doing this, the head table is on a riser and then a shorter riser has parents, grandparents, godparents etc.
Also, I have seen that if you do a head table with a small wedding party you include their dates, so that could take care of some of the parents.....
I don't think it is kiddish at all to sit with your parents. Is there enough room at the head table for both sets of parents and the entire bridal party? You could always have a sweetheart table with just the two of you.
I don't think that it's "kiddish" at all. I would ask the parents if they are OK with that though. I know my parents (my dad especially) wouldn't like to be the focal point like that. I would say do what is most comfortable for your parents.
Yes, we have a small wedding party, and I just think that shows how close we are to our families... ya know?
I think it's fine, maybe ask them their opinions if your open and see what they'd prefer.
my parents were actually really offended at my brother's wedding that he and my sil didn't want to sit with them (sil's parents are divorced and she didn't want hers to be at the same table as each other and with her, so my parents had to sit at a different table too...) it ended up working out great, but for our wedding, we're def sitting with our parents...

My FI's father is his best man, and his 1 groomsman is a friend he's had since he was 5. Since the Best Man is a parent, should both parents sit at the head table? The friend mentioned that having parents at the head table looks "kiddish"... I mean, I somewhat agree, btu I dont want to hurt our parents feelings by not including them, especially where they've helped out SO much!
What would you do?
