Are you wondering if you should have a Sweetheart Table at your micro wedding? Or maybe you’re wondering what a Sweetheart Table even is? (If that’s you, don’t worry, we’ll get to that in a minute!) I’m here to tell you the answer is yes, you definitely want to have a Sweetheart Table. In fact, it is absolutely key to enjoying your wedding day and here’s why.
Unless you’re eloping with just your beloved, your wedding day will likely involve a lot of people other than your partner and while they’re all there to help and support you, it can end up being, well, a lot!
For starters, a Sweetheart Table is simply a small table at your reception that is set up just for the two of you. Of all the couples I’ve worked with, not one has ever regretted having a Sweetheart Table and, in fact, many of them have told me it was one of the best decisions they made for themselves. Why, you may ask?
The #1 reason you need a Sweetheart Table is that it provides a place that’s just for you and your partner.
By sitting alone together you can share a few moments to reflect on your ceremony, your guests, your favorite moments of the day so far, and most of all, your love. Even if your micro wedding or elopement celebration has 20 people or less, it’s still really nice to have your own special place to sit.
It may seem strange that you’d need a place for just the two of you on a day that’s all about the two of you, but many couples find that it’s really easy to get swept up in all of the people and celebrating at the wedding and barely even see their beloved on their special day! You don’t want that to happen to you, right?
Your Sweetheart Table is a place for the two of you to actually sit down together (harder than you may think at your own wedding!), have a private little toast (and also drink some water! Lots of water!) and enjoy some of that delicious food you chose so carefully for your guests.
Side by side, you can really soak up the scene before you: so many of your favorite people all gathered together in one room to celebrate the two of you! Listen together, laugh (and cry) at the toasts from family and friends and be sure to sneak plenty of kisses. Your Sweetheart Table gives you that perfect place to rest, relax and genuinely focus on your celebration. So get yourselves a Sweetheart Table. You deserve it and you’ll never regret it.
