... seating arrangements.

I wanted a sweetheart table. He wanted the main head table (with BMs & GMs). He gave me that one.

He wants BMs & GMs at the next table.
I want them to sit with their guests.
We both want immediate family (parents & siblings) close.

Fine, but how can we do this with 10 BMs/GMs, while having round tables that hold 10 people?

*If we sit them with their guests, then we need two tables, but then that means that one group will be farther than the other group.

*If we sit them immediately to the left & right of us, at separate tables, then the immediately family isn't close.

*If we sit the family to one side, and the BP to the other side, then the guests will be at a separate table....

Argh!!!!!!! HELP!!!

At our hall we have the sweetheart table in the back of the room with two tables on either side of it....then there is a space( walking space I guess) then that starts the tables on either side of the dane floor...so kinda like their are two tables to the side of the sweetheart table, then the regular tables by the dance floor...

That's actually not such a bad idea. It would look something like this:

Now that I think about it... it might not work, because the kitchen doors would be right by the GMs table... and they might need more room to serving.

I would definitely have the bridal party sit with their dates...otherwise what is the point of them bring them? Also, if I were a date, I would be pissed that I could not even eat with them.

If you want the bridal party so close, then you should not have a sweetheart table.

That's just it... I don't want them soo close. I want them to enjoy themselves with their dates... it's FH that's making everything impossible! lol

THATS exactly ( the pic) what ours looks like and for us we have no issues with kitchen...the bar is to the right of the GM's table( lucky them) ....You can go to the hall and see how much room there is for the tables before not doing it entirely...
