So now that I've figured out who is sitting with you, I am struggling to figure out where everyone should sit. My FH and I will be at a sweetheart table but I don't know who should be right besides us. I have one table that is mostly bridesmaids and one that is mostly groomsmen so I feel like they should sit on either side of us, but then what about the Moms?
Knowing my Mom, I feel like she'd rather be in the middle of the party, but I don't want to hurt anyone by not having them right next to me.
What did you all do or what do you plan to do?
Thanks!

Re: Table question
Usually the two tables on either side of the dais are immediate family and bridal party. Generally the closer the table is to the dais, the more 'important' they are....

Re: Table question
Right--but that's where my dilemma is--should it be bridal party or family?

Re: Table question
I will be putting my immediate family and his at the tables next to us. I will be putting my bridal party at tables with people they know and feel comfortable with. I am a strong believer that family is the most important on your wedding day so they should be at the 'head' tables.

Normally it's the family and the bridal party gets scattered into other tables. My bms and gms all 'fit into' other tables because we grouped our tables by common friends. That meant that our bms and gms ended up sitting with people they knew or hung out with and they liked that more than sitting at one table themselves....

Re: Table question
Yeah, when I say bridal party, i mean bridal party with their husbands/boyfriends. And I'm really only doing bridal party tables because those are their closest friends at the wedding anyway--so it just worked out that way. I keep going back and forth. Thanks for the input!

I will be doing the same thing as well. I'm putting my bridal party together with their guest, so no one feels awkward at a table of strangers.
