HEAD TABLE | SWEETHEART TABLE |
Larger table that includes the couple, their wedding party, and/or immediate family members (your tribe or crew) | Smaller table for just the couple to sit by themselves at their own table during the reception |
Less isolation for the couple from the guests. You get to sit with your friends and family | You get some intimate alone time with your new spouse! |
Some say it is a way to honor those close to you or your VIP's. | You avoid insulting anyone who feels left out. |
Wedding Party is in close proximity for toasts/speeches. | You will be more approachable for guests to visit with you. |
The head table can take up a lot of precious real estate in the room. | Your wedding party can sit with their plus ones. |
People typically want to sit with their friends. | Less formal vibe and more romantic for you both. |
Can make others feel left out. | You are a focal point. |
Not everyone wants to be on display, front and center. | Easier for toasts/speeches if they can stand near your sweetheart table and address you personally. |
Conversation can be challenging with everyone at the head table seated side by side. | Can see everything happening |
