Seating Chart Aneurysm
So, the RSVPs are starting to roll in. Very exciting. :)
I'm flying out to Arizona to visit FMIL tomorrow (FH is already out there), and he's warning me already that we're going to be grilled about the seating chart that we haven't even started yet.
In my experience at weddings, the seating arrangements that work well are ones where generally the same generation sits together. E.g. parents sit with their brothers/sisters/close family , bridal party sits together (and with other friends, etc.).
FH and I have our own table. FMIL wants to sit with FH's sister (and her boyfriend) and brother, her children. To me, this seemed odd. Plus, if this were to happen, who would fill the rest of the table (tables of 12)? FMIL does not want to sit with her siblings (or FFIL's siblings), so I would think I would put FMIL's friends there, but then it would be odd for FH's brother and sister to be the only young ones at the table. My head's going to explode already! Thoughts?
