Headtable?

Question

I have 5 bridesmaids and groomsmen and i was thinking of doing a two tier head table but i dont know any other ideas?

Answer 1

You could have the bride and groom at the head table and then have the bridal party sit with their partners at another table next to the head table.

Or you could also include the maid of honour and the best man at the head table with the bridal couple too and the rest of the bridal party at another table with their partners.

Or if you'd prefer the whole bridal party to sit together, you could just have one large head table with all of the bridal party.

Answer 2

just have you and your hubby at the head table and let your bridesmaids and groomsmen sit with their husbands/wives or boyfriends/girlfriends at other tables.

Answer 3

i agree with the first answer....we did a sweetheart table for the very reason that our wedding party had dates and we weren't going to be sitting there for long anyways. i felt like a headtable would separate us from our guests....

our wedding party was appreciate of the fact that they could sit with their significant others, friends, and family instead of having to "reign" over a party.

Answer 5

Don't have your bridesmaids and groomsmen at the head table at all. Unless they have specifically requested to sit at the head table, my guess would be that most of them are secretly wishing they could be sitting at regular round tables with their friends and dates. Do a sweetheart table for the two of you (or sit at a round table with your parents) and then seat the attendants at regular tables. Especially if they aren't all friends with each other, it's nice to let them talk with other folks after having spent a LOT of time together for all the pre-wedding stuff, pictures, etc. Besides, they've just been on-stage with big grins on their faces at the ceremony -- they might like to get out of the spotlight while they eat.

Answer 6

Do the head table. I have been a bridesmaid 8 times and I can tell you that it's best. Guests want to see the wedding party, it help the bride and groom remain separate from the general guests so that they can actually eat something for a few minutes and after spending so much money to be in the wedding the wedding party deserves to be given special attention. Their dates and spouses will only be without them for the 15 minutes it takes to wolf down some food and then they get up from the table and never go back.

Answer 7

Just have a regular head table. Your wedding party totals 12, and if that's long enough for your venue, then just leave it at that. Otherwise, you could include the MC and his/her spouse, as well as parents.

At our head table, we had our eight attendants and us, the MC and her husband; my mom; my husband's dad and sister (because they came from Europe and knew no English we kept them together); my husband's brother, who was one of the priests performing our ceremony; and my oldest sister, who gave the toast to the bride and groom, and her husband. So that was 18!

So it was big, but doable - and it's best to have at least the attendants with you at the head table - so guests see all of you together.
