We are going to have a sweetheart table and have our wedding party sit with their families. I am not a big fan of having a long banquet table either.
We're hoping to do a sweetheart table and then seat the bridal party nearby, but with their SO's. So we'll have a sweetheart table, a bridal party plus table (or two, depending on numbers), and an immediate family table, all at the front of the ballroom.
We are having a sweetheart with the four closest tables for immediate family and bridal party with their dates
We're also doing a sweetheart table wiith the bridal party at tables around us. I want my bridal party to be able to sit with their families. The sweetheart table is going to be blended in with the regular tables so we aren't so far away from everyone.
We're having a sweetheart table with our bridal party seated at a table that's closest to us then our family.
One of my fiance's requests was for us to not have a sweetheart table. So, we're planning on sitting with my MOH, his siblings (who are groomsmen), his SIL (who is one of my BMs) and my brother. The rest of our bridal party will be seated at the table next to ours.
We're just sitting at a round table like everyone else. Our dude of honor, best man, one bridesmaid, one groomsman and their SOs are sitting with us. I don't like the idea of being separated from everyone. You hardly sit down anyway and the sweetheart table would throw off the symmetry of our room.
We're doing a sweetheart table too. I just feel like its unfair to not allow the bridal party to sit with their guest.
Sweetheart table definitely. I doubt we will be doing much sitting though as we plan to go around to each table greeting everyone, etc. :)
We had a sweetheart table and I'm so glad we did it! I'll share a couple of pics of ours:
Our table was on the side of the room in the center. The groomsmen and bridesmaids sat at 2 guest tables right in front of us and they got to have their dates sit with them at those tables. It worked out perfectly and everyone was happy/comfortable with the arrangements.
I dont like head tables or sweetheart tables. I just want to sit at a regular table with bridal party and their plus ones.
we were going to just sit at a normal round table with the bridal party and their dates, but we ended up not fitting and doing a sweetheart table while everyone else just sat with people they know. i'm really glad it turned out that way, this way i was able to spend some quality time with my husband at our wedding.
We decided against the sweetheart table, because we wanted to sit with our bridal party and their dates! The banquet style table was a strong possibility for us for a while, although we were thinking of seating people all around it and not all along one side, like it was the Last Supper or something. So, we're sitting at a round table like everyone else -- although it will be a slightly larger one.
We are doing a sweetheart table instead of a head table. I don't like that most of the time, your bridal party can't sit with their dates at the head table.
We're hoping the sweetheart table will be great so guests will be more willing to come up and talk if we're secluded.
We're reserving 2 tables for the bridal party to sit at, right next to us!
We're not, which makes me a little sad. I'm tired of lobbying for it though. Mom seems to think it's a waste, and we won't ever be there anyway.
We're doing a sweetheart table and having our bridal party just sit at regular tables. That way they can sit with their friends.
Do a sweetheart table and let your bridal party sit with their friends and dates. I think that if the B&G dont have their own table, they never get to eat and just relax for a few minutes. I also think that sitting a round table might be hard to do. Who do you sit with? His parents or yours? If both, then grandmas, brothers, sisters, etc all can't fit and feel left out. In the end, there was too much drama and sitting by ourselves was by far the best idea.
We're doing a sweetheart table too! I actually like the floor plan set up better with it, and our wedding party will be at their own table with their guests/partners. I'm actually really excited about having our own meal time together - granted I'm sure we wont really have "alone time" at the table haha...oh man, I can hear the glasses clinking already!
I originally wanted a sweetheart table but I didn't like the idea of the bridal party being scattered. So we decided to do a banquet table but have our bridal party's SO sit with us as well.
I don't know what we'll end up with. If we did the banquet style with bridal party plus SOs, it'd be a table for 18 people. Um...I think the only way that could get pulled off would be to have 9 on each side of the table. Is that even possible....to have 9 people's back to the room?
For those of you doing a sweetheart table....is it still being set up at the "head" of the room, or is it a table blending in around the other tables? I think I would want to amongst the crowd and not on display...with or without the bridal party.
I think we are going to do a sweetheart table and then place the bridal party with their plus one, and other friends. I went to a wedding recently that my FI was in, and don't get me wrong it was a lovely wedding, but some people were upset that they didn't get to sit with their SO, and I'm not picky about it but I don't want to upset anyone or make anyone uncomfortable, so I am just going to sit them with their plus one, so it's not akward for the plus one, haha.
We're going to do something like this in the middle of the room with the other round tables surrounding us. I hate the idea of a sweetheart table because you're up there for people to stare at like you're in a zoo or something.
We're just sitting at a normal round table with our bridal party and their spouses.
All these people are coming together to celebrate WITH us, so I want to spend as much time with them as possible. The Guy and I sit together at dinner every night, and we will be just the two of us for our whole honeymoon, so I really don't understand the point of the sweetheart table...I'd rather sit with, celebrate with, and laugh with my closest friends.
The pic below is what our sweetheart table looks like at our actual venue. It absolutely does not look like a "zoo" with the couple on display. The bride and groom are facing the room and are close enough to be approachable and part of the action, yet secluded enough to actually have time to eat.

Yes we are going to. Our bridal party + dates will be seated at the two tables nearest us. :)
We're doing a sweetheart and the BP will be seated at the first few tables closest to us. Almost all of them are married or have serious SOs, so we want them to be able to sit together.

If you do where will your bridal party sit? With people they know or at a table with the rest of the bridal party? I'm trying to figure out. The long banquet table seems a little weird to me. Sitting up there like a king and queen with my court. I've never been a fan of it. The only other option is to sit at a round table like the rest of the guests. I need some help bees!!! What do I do?
