Fiance's parents are divorced. (somewhat recently ~ 3 yrs ago) They are both still single (unmarried) and will not be bringing dates to the wedding.
Should they still sit at the same table?
Are your divorced parents still sitting together or should they sit with their own families at separate tables?

Re: Seating for Divorced Parents
I put mine at the same table with their new families (the families are small and they get along pretty well) I think it really should depend on how well they get along

BOTH our parents are divorced. I did not seat them together. I had 4 parent tables, one for each set. I personally would never even thought to seat them together.

I put my divorced parents at separate tables with their families and friends. I agree that it depends how well they get along. My parents had a bitter divorce and had not spoken in years.
Why not ask them who they want to sit with? I asked my parents and DH's parents who they wanted at their tables. This way everyone was happy.

well said.
my parents are divorced. i sat them at different tables, next to each other.. ie, Table 1 and Table 2.
i agree with asking them. you'd be surprised how people react when you just ask.

Re: Seating for Divorced Parents

Re: Seating for Divorced Parents
I think it really depends on how well they get along and how comfortable they'd be sitting at the same table.
My parents are civil with each other but my father is remarried and I thought it would be best to seat them at separate tables. I knew they wouldn't be comfortable sitting together, so I had my mom at Table 1 with her side of my family and then I had my dad at the next table with his side of my family.
