Head Table Headaches
The traditional head table at a wedding reception includes only the wedding party. The table faces the guests and is usually on a raised platform. But many brides and grooms are opting for some different table arrangements. Letting your wedding party sit at tables with their plus ones is an option. You could then sit the Bride and Groom with parents at a table or have a sweetheart table set up just for the Bride and Groom. How romantic!
Another head table option that is becoming more popular is the Head Table “Family Style.” It can be positioned many ways, but it usually includes a long table where the wedding party, with their plus ones and family members are seated and then are served. Often the table is in the middle of the guest tables. It is a more casual version that can make everyone more comfortable.
