Who sits at the bridal table at the reception?

Just the bridesmaids and groomsmen? Flower girl? Parents of the bride/groom??? I'm so clueless.

Who sits at the bridal table at the reception?
generally it's the wedding party. parents sit at a separate table that is close to the head table. the flower girl can sit there but i would judge that on her age and behavior. (some small children do better with their parents).
Reply:Members of the bridal party, usually the parents have their own tables
Reply:I have been to a couple weddings where there is a table for two at which the bride and groom sit. Then there is the traditional table which is as you mention with the bridal party and can be with or without parents.
Reply:The bride's side of the guests (friends, family, etc).
Reply:The formal bridal party. I would say Bridesmaids %26amp; Groomsmen only. Not the Ushers, Flower Girls or Ring Bearer. Otherwise, it's not equal on both sides of the bridal table.
Reply:usually the members of the bridal party and parents
Reply:It is totally up to the couple......I have seen some so a small table for two and then the whole wedding party sits at another table or they skip the other table and sit throughout the hall..............no matter what no one really sits for the most part so its really no big deal what you do, just be happy!!!
Reply:Usually, the bridal party, meaning groomsman/bridesmaids and their dates sit at one table. The bride's parents sit on the bride's side of the reception hall (if you are dividing by sides of the family) at a table w/ other close family members, or special people who the parent's may choose. The same w/ the groom's parents. The flower girl/ ring bearer and other young members should sit at a child's table, or w/ their parents.





I'm against head tables. They seem very dated to me and uncomfortable for everyone, except the bride and groom. The sweetheart table is the way to go.
Reply:Bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl/ring bearer, the MC and spouse - then if you have room, parents and grandparents, the minister and spouse.
Reply:Whoever you want. It's your wedding.
Reply:Recently I have mostly seen a sweetheart table, only for the bride and groom.





This way your attendants can sit with their significant others.





Your parent's sit at a table with your siblings %26amp; grandparents.
Reply:Traditionally I am not sure, but at most of the weddings including my own it was just the bride and the groom.
Reply:Generally its the bridesmaids, groomsmen and the ones that just got married.
Reply:Usually it is the bride and groom at the center, then on the other side of the bride is the bridesmaids and then on the otherside of the groom are the ushers. But it is your wedding so do what you like, it is your day...enjoy it :)!
Reply:You can have whoever you want..But usually it is the just the bridal party and of course you and your new husband.
Reply:The bridal party.
Reply:Traditionally the bridal party - bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Reply:It is generally the Bride and Groom with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The parents and other members of the bridal party sit at another table close by.
Reply:there is no "usual" anymore....


sweetheart tables with the bridew and groom only OR the B/G and maid of honour/best man


full bridal tables with full bridal party


family table - works best in the center of the room like a large dining room table when there are people standing up together who are married or dating others and/or children from previous marriages.
Reply:Traditionally it's the bride, the groom, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen.





BUT, it's your wedding, you can do whatever you want.





I was the matron of honor at a wedding last summer and the bride and groom had their own table (closest to the dancefloor, but facing the guests) and the bridal party had two tables where they were able to sit with their dates/spouses.





I thought that was very nice for two reasons. The first being that since we all weren't sitting in a line, we could see the bride and the groom every time they had to kiss in the middle of eating. HAHA. And second, the worst part about being in someone else's wedding is not being able to sit with your date (if they're not in the bridal party) and the awkwardness of your date having to sit with complete strangers.





P.S. Depending on the ages of the flower girl/ringbearer, they should sit with their parents. Not necessarily at a bridal party table.
Reply:bride, groom, maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids, and groomsman.


Parents sit at a table close to the front and the flowergirl sits with her parents.


Besides the bridal table don't worry about a seating chart for everyone else, they'll figure out where they want to sit and who they want to sit next to.
Reply:At my wedding it was just my husband and myself. We had 2 seperate tables for the bridal party. We found it easier for everyone so that everyone can sit with their dates rather then feeling obligated to sit with their bridal party partner.
Reply:typically the bridal party....bridesmaids, groomsmen, ushers....younger children typically sit with their parents...
