Who Sits at the Head Table at a Wedding?
When planning your wedding, the seating arrangements will need to be prepared to ensure a smooth transition from ceremony to reception. While can choose to have open seating at your reception, the people who will be sitting at the head table should know where they are sitting in advance. The head table generally includes the bride, groom and wedding party. The head table can also seat the couple’s parents or close relatives. Traditionally, seating is arranged by alternating males and females, though you can arrange to have women sit on the bride’s side and men by the groom.
