Mr. Pumpkin is very attention adverse. He is NOT looking forward to having everyone watch everything he does for a whole day and night, so he was very against a traditional head table at the front of the room on a riser. While I didn’t really have an opinion either way, the Moms felt strongly that we should be set apart somehow and be able to be “seen” by everyone.
The compromise that we have come up with is to have a long banquet table with the wedding party (including ushers) and their spouses, as well as our parents and grandparents, all sitting with us (on both sides of the table) in the middle of the tent. Meanwhile, everyone else is seated at round tables around us. It’s different, but I think that everyone is now happy with this decision.
I have noticed that a big trend these days is to have the sweetheart table. While I totally love the idea of getting some quiet time with Mr. Pumpkin in the middle of the whirlwind of the day, I don’t think I would like being so separated from our guests. In an effort to prevent Mr. P from running away, I didn’t even bother suggesting a sweetheart table to him!
What kind of set-up are you having for your reception? Have you considered a sweetheart table? Why did you choose the set-up that you did?
