So we have to begin seating arrangements, and that is something that stresses me out since there is a lot of overlap in the bridal party, what with siblings and who's friends with who.
My future in-laws suggested to me that I don't have to sit the bridal party all together, but sit them with the people they would have the most fun with.
I've never seen a wedding where the bridal party doesnt all sit together, but the ideal of seating them separately makes me very happy...
Has anyone seen this?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

I am not seating my bridal party together...I am seating them with who they know or their significant other if they have one there.

That's fairly common. Every wedding party I have been in, we were seated with our friends and not all together

Re: Seating Arrangements - Bridal Party Separated?
My bridal party will be spread out according to who's friends with who, as well as family with family. My MOH will be sitting with my mom and brothers. 2 of my bm's are my nieces and they will be with their other teenage cousins. And my friends who are bridesmaids will be separated into 2 tables, and sit with other people they're friends with.
It makes more sense to me to have everyone sit with who they know or are closer with. I know I would want to

I think the whole bridal party table was something that was done in the 90's. I've never seen it donce since then. Not meaning offense to anyone who has or is planning on doing it, its just not my thing.
I seated my BP with their friends and family

Our BP didn't sit together. They *mostly* sat at two tables near our table, but some sat scattered around the hall (my sister and brother with my parents, a friend mixed in with another group of friends, etc.)

We aren't seating our bridal party all together - I want them to sit with people they know andwill enjoy the night with.

Our BP definitely didn't sit all together. They were spread out all over depending on where their other friends were sitting. I think it would have been kind of awkward to seat them all together unless they all know each other beforehand.

In my RH they have 2 tables on either side of the sweetheart table. We plan to seat our bridal party in those tables.. GM w/their wives/gfs on 1 table, BM w/their husbands/bfs in the other.

I personally like the BP sitting together...I'm going to do what my brother did...split them up to two tables and seat them with their SO's.

That's a cute idea!

Re: Seating Arrangements - Bridal Party Separated?
Thanks! My wedding party is a little two big for that. 7 Girls and their BFs and 7 Guys with their wives... I think we can only have tables of 10 or 12, so we would need 3 bridal party tables to begin with.
Thanks for everyone's help!

Re: Seating Arrangements - Bridal Party Separated?
My bridal party is huge - 11 on each side! - so it's physically impossible to sit everyone together lol. I'm sitting everyone with who I think they would get along best with, you really only sit to eat so I don't think it's a big deal. The bridal party is going to be all together on the dance floor shaking their booties!

This! Not everyone in my BP is friends and I didn't think it was fair to sit them with people they didn't know and wouldn't have fun with.

I'm not seating my bridal party together. Also, I was in a wedding 2 years ago and we were all split up. It's fine, people would rather sit with who they know and who they would have the best time with.
