What type of bridal table do you prefer?

Let us know which bridal table you prefer for your wedding.:p

We are doing round tables at the receptions and to be honest I never really understood the long "traditional" head table. It seems to me that people would want to sit with their significant others and that includes my bridal party. My MOH's boyfriend barley knows any of my friends and to put him at a table by himslef seems not well thought out. So, in lieu of that I am considering us just sitting at a regular round table with our close families and then friends and other family members around us or the sweetheart table which I am leaning more towards as of late. I just loved the way it looked at Lacey's wedding ; )

First, thank you Amber.

We did a sweethearts table. All of our friends are married and know each other fairly well. But, they all rarely get a night our with everyone and no kids. So we let them sit with their spouses and friends so that they could fully enjoy the night. Plus, when I see those big traditional head tables, I always feel like the bridal party is on display. Our guests were there to have fun, not be gawked at. Sean and I had our own private table for two. I also noticed that with the table being so small, not too many people could gahter around it so we we re left alone for most of the evening to enjoy our meal.

I really like the traditional head table. All of my BP's dates are friends so they are all going at one table. I asked my BP about how they felt and they would love to be at the head table with me and Jonathan. So thats the plan!

Eric and I are going to sit with our parents (for the short time we are sitting). The attendants all are married or dating and will have loved ones there that they will want to sit with so we decided not to do the traditional head table....we do have reserved places to ensure that the wedding party, their guests, us and our parents get seated close together though.

My reception hall does round tables and if we tried to fit everyone we should at the head table, it would take up the whole room! So, I htink we're just going to do parents with us at the head table, and then the rest of the immediate family at 2 other front tables.

Since our bridal party is small - my matron of honor and Joe's best man - we've decided to have the spouses sit with us too.

I don't recall sitting at the table for very long at my sister's wedding - we ate and then we were all over the room visiting and having a great time.

It completely depends on what FH is comfortable with. He's fairly shy, so I don't know how he'd feel with either option. But we have to sit somewhere! I'd prefer a sweetheart table, I think, so that the bridal party can sit wherever they'd like.

I've always liked the sweetheart table. From the weddings I've seen I would say it is about half and half.

I guess I have to vote other because we are going to just sit Justin and I, both sets of parents, and my brother and his stepbrother at the head table. The bridal party can sit where they want, because that table would be huge!

I would prefer a sweet heart table, but Joel wants a head table...so I guess we are gonna go with that!!!

I like the head table. This is where we went as soon as we were annouced into the reception. Yes it was mine and Nicholas day and we wanted moments with just the 2 of us but we also wanted our family and freinds in the wedding to be a part of it. Besides we didnt sit for long. WE had the toast and then ate and that was it. No on sat at that table again all night.

We had the head table because it was my day and my way!! lol. And it was only to eat...so oh well.

[katieandalex]

Traditional headtable.

[KristyGirl]

Traditional headtable, although I do like it a bit better with the bridal party's dates seated there as well if possible.

[nikkiana]

I prefer the sweetheart table.... however we're having a traditional head table because it's kinda tough to do a sweetheart table the way our venue is set up...

[ladymelissa]

They are both really nice, but in the end we figured that we would be sitting at a table for two pretty much for forever after the wedding so why not sit with the whole BP at the wedding? So we had a traditional head table and it was fantastic.
