We want our bridal party to be able to sit with their dates/spouses during the dinner so we're thinking about doing something other than a head table.
I thought maybe a larger round table compared to the other dining tables (like a table of 10) that included myself, my husband, our parents/grandparents and maybe the minister. I think a head table puts you on display while you're eating and I'm not comfortable with that. The best man could still stand to give his speech but could be seated at the next table over.
Anyone have any good ideas for an alternative to a head table?

I have been to a wedding recently where the seating was similar as you suggest above.
The other way to do this is to have two long tables (such as you see with a roast on television) and have everyone sit at the table that is in the wedding party, and family members. Depending on space, however, it might be practicable.
The only other suggestion is to have all of the tables connect in some fashion so everyone feels that they are part of the same table (a large square, rectangle or circle of tables).
I would also ask the hall or room where it is being held if they have a good suggestion.

How about a family table. You and your new spouse could sit at a table with both sets of parents and then have a table for the the wedding party and their spouses. Don't stress out about the proper thing to do! This is your day and no matter what you should be happy.

I am having a sweetheart table for my fiance and I and the rest of the bridal party can sit with thier dates/families. We thought it would be better that way because some of them will bring bringing dates that won't know anyone else and we want them to have a good time, too!

At my wedding I didn't have a head table, I had a small bridesmaids table (circular) to my right and hubby had the same thing for his guys to his left.

have a sweetheart table, just the 2 of you. Then, everyone else at tables (you have families at tables, the bridesmaids/groomsmen tables, etc.
