Trying to do a table arrangement for wedding, 3 sets of parents {step Families} any suggestions on seating?
Who should sit where?
Let all the spouses sit with eachother (the people they’re married to NOW).
Don’t separate people and put your mother and father together or anything like that. It makes people miserable, causes arguments, and all they’ll remember of the day is the awkwardness of having sit like that.
Also, nobody has the right to mess about with people’s current relationships by forcing the past on them by putting them next to ex partners, kids or no kids.
I say let everyone enjoy the day, and sit with their current families.
My father had informal seating at his wedding, everyone just chose where to sit themselves. It was much better than his previous wedding where I had to sit inbetween 2 people I couldn’t stand and didn’t say a word through the whole dinner. This last one was much more enjoyable. And people remember how they felt. I do.
I won’t go to a a wedding now where the people tell me who I’m going to sit by. It’s controlling and basically snobbery (‘least’ people on some far away table. It’s insulting, why invite them?)
