Seating Arrangements (Part 2 of 3)

Additionally, you can have the maid of honor and groomsmen at their own respective sweetheart tables next to yours, where they can sit with their dates and be set apart a bit from the main wedding party. Then seat the remaining wedding party at a nearby head table. It’s up to you if the head table is created large enough to accommodate the remaining attendants’ dates, however this might be preferred to avoid isolating them and to make seating among other guests more convenient.

Previously, we explored the option of using a sweetheart table for the bride and groom to dine at separately during the reception. But if you prefer a crowd, and would like all your wedding party to be seated with you, there are a few options as well, which we’ll discuss today. Traditionally, one long head table was set up at the front of the room, facing the guest tables. The bride and groom sat next to each other in the middle and their bridesmaids and groomsmen on either side. Generally, the best man is seated next to the bride and the maid of honor next to the groom and it alternates boy, girl, boy, girl after that. You could also have all the bridesmaids sit to the bride’s side and all the groomsmen by the groom, if preferred.
