This was actually one of the first things Mishka and I decided on regarding our reception. In fact, it was a decision we made even before we got engaged. We both think it's cute for the bride and groom to have their own little table. It also helps to avoid any issues that could arise because a table can only fit so many of the bride and groom's close friends. There's no such thing as "private space" for the bride and groom during their reception- at least not in the ballroom. But I we both really like the idea of having our own "space".
Part of the reason also was FSIL Katerina's wedding. They chose a head table. And, it definitely worked for them. But, what I noticed is that for the majority of the dinner portion the bride and groom really weren't doing much sitting. There were dozens of guests anxious to express their excitement and their pleasure in the evening Katerina and S had planned. And, as good hosts, Katerina and S walked around to hear them, rather than make their guests leave their meals.
So, I think it's possible that even if we have a sweet heart table, that we will still be spending the majority of time on our feet and greeting our various guests. But I think it could be nice for those brief moments when we sit to eat, or when the toasts are being given, that we have that space to ourselves. And also, my mom has told me that even when we're sitting down we should expect to be approached by happy guests and family members. I just hope they will give us a chance to chew in between responses because I am not giving up the chance to try the food on our awesome menu!
