Head table or sweetheart table
A sweetheart table is two seats for the couple. A long head table puts the wedding party facing the room. You can also sit with family and skip both. Pick from who should be next to you all night — not from a Pinterest default. Do not put divorced parents together at a head table.
Sweetheart table pros and cons?
You get a quiet table and a clear keep-apart from family politics. The risk is looking stranded while everyone else has a crowd. If that bothers you, sit with family or keep the wedding party on a long head.
Should divorced parents sit at the head table?
No. One sightline all night. Sweetheart or wedding-party table for you; each parent at their own table with people they enjoy. Record a keep-apart so a reseat cannot put them together.
