Help with seating arrangements!

Ok so my dilemma is I do like the idea of a sweetheart table but we have 2 daughters age 6 and 18 months (at time of wedding) so basically I would feel a little strange sitting apart from them on the day I would feel like I am shunning them or something. At the same time though I dont want my little miss putting her mucky paws all over my white dress either! The thing is as there are 50 attending the wedding and its on the beach we cant have a bridal party table as the number is small so it would look a little strange. I really dont know what to do seating wise. I know I will have circlular tables (see pic) and put like 7 or 8 people at a table so I dont know do we sit on our own, with our parents and the kids any ideas please?

I forgot to add that we are bringing a babysitter with us to watch the girls at night time and she will also be there at the reception...

This is the most beautiful wedding setting I think I have ever seen! I love it......I'm speechless :)
Ok now to the questions at head......
I understand the whole mucky paws and all, But I think it would be very cute to sit as a family. I would have the four of you sit together and if you want, you could also have your parents.
It would be nice to have your parents, they could maybe help out a little bit with your girls.

Wow.. see.. I would so not sit alone with my children.. sand and food and an 18 month old.. oh geez.. Do you have any aunts or someone that watches them a lot or just loves babies that would want to help? I mean it's all the people closest to you so they know you clearly love your children and aren't shunning them.. but you're going to have so much stuff to do that you don't want to be worrying about your kids with you all the time.. so I wouldn't feel guilty about seating.. I'm sure they'll end up by side many times.. just find a volunteer to watch them.. I'm using all my pre teen cousins to babysit - for free of course- all the little kids.. hahaha.. they have no idea what they are in for..

I also forgot to add that we are paying for a babysitter to come with us and she will be minding the girls at night time, I will have SO many people there to help but yeah think of sand and an 18 month old who will have no interest whatsoever in sitting down! Nightmare!
