I went to a wedding where FH was a GM and had to sit at a separate table. I didnt really care b/c we were up dancing most of the time but it would have been nice to eat dinner together.

Definitely sit the bridal party and their dates together - it makes it more enjoyable for everyone!

Re: Seating Dilema!!!!
It's not fair to the date to have to sit alone...our table with the BP is getting too large tho- we might have them sit at 2 tables near us- we don't want an isolated sweetheart table!

Me and FH are sitting by ourselves and then the BP and their dates are sitting at 2 tables on either side of us.

Re: Seating Dilema!!!!
i agree... the BP and their dates should not be seperated.... sure, they'll be up dancing most of the night.... but, especially if you're having a sit down dinner, it can sometimes take awhile to get all the courses served, so it could be awhile that they're seperated.....even if its an hour, that can seem like forever if you're at a table with people you don't know.... we had a sweetheart table for just DH and i, and then put the bridal party with their dates at 2 other tables next to each other....

Re: Seating Dilema!!!!
Please let them sit with their dates. 2 years ago I went to a wedding with my FI before I knew any of his college friends. I had to sit at a table on the other side of the room with people I never met before that had all gone to school together. Needless to say I tried to get bombed but I didn't have enough $ for the open bar. when FI finally came over after the cake was cut, I was really pissed and to boot he got drinks free all night so he couldn't understand my problem. Normally I don't bring much $ to a wedding because I usually have a tiny evening bag.
I still talk about how miserable it was, so it made a big impact on me.

We're sitting at a sweetheart table, and having 2 bridal party tables for the bridal party and their dates.
This is what we're doing. In part because we like it, in part because we don't want to separate the BP from their spouses, and in part to keep one BM away from her mother.

Dates are supposed to sit with their dates. If you are definitely having the BP sit with you, then their dates should sit with you as well.
We're sitting by ourselves, and anyone bringing a date in the BP will be sitting with their date.
It's the whole point of having a date...to be with each other to experience it together.
I agree, just have them sit with the BP, honestly, after dinner..everyone is up and dancing anyways and no one is ever going to be in their seats..JMO

Re: Seating Dilema!!!!
It is really inconsiderate to seat the date at a diff table. They feel awkward and have a horrible time. The last wedding I was in, she sat the couple friends together, then the single friends at a separate table.
