We're not having a sweetheart table so I can only give you the "cons" that lead us to decide against it...
We chose to do a sweetheart table because we didn't want to separate our wedding party members from their families (2 of whom had small children with them) and we didn't want to appear to choose "sides" by sitting with one family over the other. For us having the sweetheart table was just right! :)
Our sweetheart table:
i don't think i would do one because i want to sit with my friend and family! i always eat dinner alone with FI, LOL. also, i might not even do a traditional head table, instead i will let the bridal party sit with their SOs and friends and have our parents and siblings at the head table with us.
Those are both good ideas! I'm pretty sure though that whether or not I sit at the head table or we have our own sweetheart table we will not have much time to eat because everyone will be trying to talk to us!
We had a sweetheart table and loved it! It was so nice to share the first meal as a married couple with my husband. We originally did it because I'm a little shy around crowds, and I didn't want everyone to watch me eat. No one interrupted us while we were eating, and we got some really cute pictures.
Picture: it was obviously a lot less cluttered before dinner arrived. Also, if you are doing something really simple, it may make sense to buy the flowers in bulk (ex. online). I had a relative handle all of the flowers for the reception, and I think they turned out great.
I think sweetheart tables are adorable in pictures but in practice not so practical for me. I really don't like the idea of being in the front with people staring at us. Plus it feels kinda lonely and detached. But that's just me and my weird issues.
We had a sweetheart table and it totally worked for us. We had a total of 12 attendants, plus their dates, and many of them had their families there, so it just made sense for us. We didn't sit there much, maybe about 15-30 minutes, and a lot of people did approach us to talk, but I don't see how else we really could have done it!
We had a sweetheart table and I had no regrets. After the rush of the ceremony and pictures (we didn't do a first look), it was really nice to have some time to ourselves. People did come up to talk to us, but only between courses, so we were able to eat in peace together. I used the same centerpieces on the sweetheart table as we had on the other tables.
We're having a sweetheart table at our wedding. Like a lot of others, our wedding party mostly have SO's that they will, of course, want to sit with during dinner. I've been the wedding date to someone in the bridal party where I knew NO ONE at the wedding and ended up sitting at a random table with a bunch of people I didn't know. AWKWARD! So, I want to prevent this from happening to anyone at our wedding!
We had a sweetheart table and I really enjoyed it. Yes, we did have people coming up to talk to us and take pictures, but we also had a good amount of time to sit and eat together. We asked our waitress to be served first so that we could eat while everyone else was eating but still have time to go from table to table. My husband and I were able to sit together, enjoy our food, have a few minutes alone and observe everyone around us. No one really tried to get pictures with us once we were out on the dance floor, so that's when we got several good pictures with people.
We enjoyed having a sweetheart table for many of the same reasons pps said, gave us some privacy, it allowed us to eat quickly and get some photos done outside while guests ate and didn't notice we were gone. We didn't have too many people coming up and interrupting us while we ate. We knew we wanted to go around to each table to talk to our guests (since we didn't do a receiving line) after we did the outdoor shots, it made a natural break in pro photos as we went around to the tables to talk to people.
We are going to sit at the head of our table and sit with our family and friends.
The first time I ever saw a sweetheart table was 10 years ago, and it was a bit odd to me as I'd only ever seen full bridal party tables. I actually ended up loving them.
Both of my daughters did them and really loved it. Both had small bridal parties so it was a non-issue. except they both wanted to sit at huge tables instead of the small round ones.

I actually never heard of a sweetheart table before so I'm curious! Are any of you bees doing this? I think it would be a good idea because there are people I wanted to ask to stand up with me but I couldn't ask everyone. Also, pretty much everyone standing up has SOs and they would probably be happy to sit with them. Also I like the idea of it being more intimate for us.
We are having mums and sunflowers as our flowers. I love the idea of roses because they are so romantic but I know they cost a lot of money. I'm using the mums as centerpieces and the sunflowers as the bouquets and my wedding is in the fall. Does this sound too simple for the sweetheart table?
