Seating questions

Who do the parents normally sit with at the reception?? Should they sit with their brothers and sisters if they have? or do they sit with friends?

Our problem is they want to sit with both friends and siblings...but we can only fit 12 per table and they need like 16.

i'd probably seat them with relatives, and then put their friends as close as possible at the next table. i mean there's no getting around it! 16 at a 12 top table just doesn't work! LOL

if they aren't happy with that...i'd explain it to them the way you did us, and let them figure it out!
