Head Table vs Sweetheart Table

HEAD TABLE	SWEETHEART TABLE
Larger table that includes the couple, their wedding party, and/or immediate family members (your tribe or crew)	Smaller table for just the couple to sit by themselves at their own table during the reception
Less isolation for the couple from the guests. You get to sit with your friends and family	You get some intimate alone time with your new spouse!
Some say it is a way to honor those close to you or your VIP's.
