Just playing around with seating ideas and wondering who the parents are supposed to sit with?
Mine are sitting at the head table with their parents and siblings. I plan on having them close to where FH and I are sitting.
My parents are divorced so my mom will be sitting w/ her parents, my aunts and uncles from her side and my dad will be sitting w/ his parents and my other aunts and uncles.
my parents dont want to sit at a head table .. so the closest table in the front will be for family
I am planning the closest tables to us for each set of parents, and the immediate families
they should sit at the closest table (on each side) to where the bride and groom sit.
Wow, lots of different opinions here. At my wedding, imagine a big rectangle. The band was on one end of the dance floor, and we were on the opposite side. All guests were along the remaining sides with our parents in the center of their guests. Both sets of parents sat with their closest friends.
So basically there is no rule saying they have to sit with grooms parents then right, I mean they get along but I am sure they would rather sit with their own friends.
Nope, no rule! My philosophy was to seat everyone with whoever they would want to sit with the most. :o)
My parents sat with their closest friends on one side of the dance floor and my Inlaws sat on the toher side with their friends...and our friends sat near our table.. i did not have a bridal party table because what happens to the persons date.. and My Bil sat with all the groomsmen anyway and my SIl sat with the bridesmaids.. but they were all friendly..so it owrked out
I am having our parents table on either side of us. They will be sitting with my and my FH's immediate family.
my parents will be somewhere near us. his parents are divorced so his mom will be near us sitting with her sisters and his dad will be on the other end of the hall and his dad's wife, if it were up to his mom not invited but we are inviting her and his mom thinks we should seat her in the bathroom
