I'm going to appropriately scatter them...my sister (MOH) and FH's sister (BM) will be at the same table as me and FH & our parents. The rest of the BP, all friends, will sit with their dates and the rest of our friends in the same section of the room.

Re: Bridal party tables...
We decided that they will sit at the first table to the left and right of us... one for the groomsmen and their dates and the other for the bm's and their dates. We chose to do it b.c almost everyone in our bridal party is in a serious relationship, married, or engaged to someone else. I think it would be more comfortable for everyone this way. Honestly if I put them at a dias with us... half the night they wouldnt be there anyway between dancing and going over to talk to their significant other.

Re: Bridal party tables...
I answered #2, although it's not quite true. My (small) bridal party sat with their significant others at the same table as my hubby and I, along with our brother and sister (and their significant others). It made for the perfect 10-top, for us anyway...we didn't want to spend the night apart from our closest friends and family.

Re: Bridal party tables...
My BMs are all single and from OOT, so they've decided not to bring SOs. Two of the groomsmen are single and the rest are married, so I thought a nice BP table with all of them and their SOs would work best.
Seating arrangements are hard!!

Re: Bridal party tables...
We only have 4 people in the bridal party so with their dates it will be 8 people (a comfortable table) so we're putting them near us but at a separate table. We're having a sweetheart table for just the two of us.

Re: Bridal party tables...
FH & I will be at the Dias and we will have a table on either side of us for our BM's (my side) and Groomsmen (FH's side).
The only switch will be, I will but my brother (GM) on my side with the rest of my cousins, and my FSIL will be on the groomside (with FBIL the Bestman)

I'm doing the same...i figure since fh and I are at a sweetheart table, we'll be on a platform so we'll obviously stand out... but i want my bridal party near us, so we'll have one table on each side of us for the bridal party...

That's pretty much what I plan on doing at this point. 3 bridal party members & their others, 1 single bridesmaids & us makes 9.
We are considering adding my brother & my 2 cousins who are the brothers of the bridesmaid, for a table of 12. It depends on how the rest of the family tables ar working out.

Yeah I was at a dias once & I was just there to eat. Between courses I was at my friends' table with FH. They didn't even put cake at the dias because no one was there.

Re: Bridal party tables...
We're going to scatter them and have them sit with their crowd of friends/family. Some of them will be together because they run in the same circle of friends.

Well if you didn't have 90% of NYC in your wedding party, it would be simple I'd say scatter all 22+ people, it'll make the room more festive, they can be like pretty purple centerpieces dotted around the manor room

Re: Bridal party tables...
We'll be at a sweetheart table and our BP will be mixed with other friends, but close to our table. The table on each side closest to us will have our family and then our BP and friends after that.
