Who do you stick with you at the head table?

[Jacobs_Girl]

My mom wants to sit with me on the head table. Even thought Jacob is a momma's boy he doesnt want his mom sitting next to him.

I am mad at my MOH so I dont want her sitting next to me either.

We can probably have 2 other people on each side of us.

I was thinking my brother and his girlfriend (groomsmen and bridesmaid)

[Brian's Bride]

We had the bridal party (4 couples + us), our two ushers and my son. Parents were seated at a table closest to the head table (directly in front of us).

I can only go by my First Wedding. If memory serves me right. (Working out from the centre of the Top Table).

I was sat between My (Now Ex) Husband and My Dad.

Next to the Groom was My Mum then His Dad.
Next to my Dad was The Grooms Mum and then the Best Man.

Then out from both sets of Parents was My Nan and Grooms Grandad. Then the BM's and PB.

I am going with the bridal party at the head table and moms sitting at the closest table to us.

Funny you should ask this, my mom was just asking me the same thing. She said that is what was done at her wedding so I figure since we have a small bridal party (us plus 2 each) that I will include the parents at the head table.

So from the center it will be: Me& FH, MOH (my sis) next to me, BM (FH's younger brother) next to him, Bridesmaid next to MOH and GM next to BM, then I will put my parents at the end of my side and his parents at the end of his side.

I am going to have a round table for head table. And it will include MOH and her husband, BM and his girlfriend (not that i care for her that much) and then my other MOH and other BM who are married. (My brother and sister in law) So there will be 8 of us at our table. And then there will be my parents table and his parents table right next to us.

I've never seen a round head table before - interesting...every one here is always long rectangles...interesting.

We just didn't want to have everyone staring at us. LOL... my brother and sis in law did a round table at their reception and it worked out really well. I just didn't want to do a sweet heart table and I wanted everyone to be able to talk with each other. I think it will just work out better for us.

No I think the idea is great and you should definately do it....I guess I've just always found round tables awkwards because someones back is to something and people are having to turn and whatnot - even for work stuff...but it's an interesting idea.

That is true but hopefully people will just be sitting for dinner and then everyone will get up a dance. LOL... I know not everyone will but I am hoping!

[firespirit]

From left to right, our table will be...

MOH's husband, MOH, My son (Jr. Groomsman), Me, Ryan, Ryan's neice (Jr. Bridesmaid), BM, BM's girlfriend.

We kinda figured the MOH's husband and BM's girlfriend won't really know anyone there so we'd just have them sit next to their SO's and then so the Jr. attendants weren't stuck out in no-man's land at the end of the table, we'd just put them up next to us.

[Nekochanpurr]

We are just having our groomsmen and bridesmaids...

I'll be sitting at a round table as well. I didnt think it was out of the ordinairy. Both of my bridesmaids also sat at a round table for their wedding.

[Danielle9608]

We are having a sweet heart table, just FH and I - that is always and option too so you don't hurt anyone's feelings.

[Jacobs_Girl]

I think we may just have our moms at the table :grinhappy:

This is what we're doing, with my daughter sitting with us too. Then my mom and stepdad can feel a little more comfortable and sit with my sister and her boyfriend. Much better for everyone in my opinion.

[rainbowtreat]

My husband and I were seated next to each other in the center and on my side I had my MOH and then the 2 bridesmaids. On his side he had the BM and then the 2 groomsmen. The kids had their own table set up with arts and crafts but they sat with who ever they wanted to. Our parents and grandparents were seated at the first table closest to us. That was only for dinner and then things were how ever and where ever they wanted to be.

[sweetvenus]

We're just doing a sweetheart table because there would be way too many people to stick at a head table. He has 8 guys on his side and I've got 6 girls on my side and I wouldn't want to separate them from their husbands and kids, so if we had everyone, it would end up being like a table of 30. Much easier just for us to have a sweetheart table. Plus you usually aren't sitting there for very long anyway, since you are usually going around greeting tables while dinner is going on.

[StarCoveter]

We did a rectangular head table, and sat people on both sides... there were only 30 people total anyway, so not that many tables in a small setting. It was set like this:

MOB - Me - DH - MOH
MOG - FOG - SMOB - FOB

(by the way, SMOB is stepmom of the bride) I think it worked out nicely. All the parents and MOH were there with us, nobody felt hurt. And DH's mom wasn't sitting right next to him, but my two favorite people were next to me (DH and moma).

[angelbear9114]

Instead of going the parents at the head table route we are just allowing our bridal party's escorts to sit at the head table with us. I know I would hate having to sit seperate from my date at someone's wedding. Just a thought...

[f77g4]

See my bridesmaid and his groomsman are married to each other...lol and my sister's BF isn't invited because I can't stand him (very controlling, etc.) and the BM is unattached so we can put the parents there.
