A sweetheart table ensures newlyweds have a designated area where they can take a break from entertaining guests and enjoy a little one-on-one conversation during their reception dinner. For some couples, it's a welcome pause from the frenzy of the evening and a chance to celebrate their newfound marital status together. Others, however, wouldn't dare miss the opportunity to socialize and prefer instead to sit amongst family, friends, and the rest of bridal party at a more traditional head table. If you and your groom are considering a sweetheart table, take a look at the duo-dining options below and see if it helps make up your minds.
