Table arrangements

Ahh see mine are together, his are separate. Where as his mother and step have more of a relationship with mine! I'll probably just have to talk to them and see what all their opinions are. My main concern is to not let anyone feel awkward!!

Well my parents get along with both.. just one more so than the other... which makes it so hard! I'llMake my head table aka me close to the bar LMAO It sucks people complain! It's literally just to eat and for speeches and you barely sit at the table! Thanks val

I have to have 2 parent tables as both of our parents are divorced and remarried so the moms and their hubbys will sit together and the dads and their ladies will sit together .. kinda helps break things up a bit

We are doing two parents tables on either side of the head table, that way they feel special and involved but the sets of divorced parents can have space and choose to interact or not. My mother and step father will sit with my father in law and his wife. Then the other side my mother in law will sit with my dad and his wife I think it's easiest to separate so everyone is comfortable and minimize the chance of drama

Both my husband and my parents are divorced. They are all with new partners. All four of his parents get along, where mine do not. What I was going to do was have 4 seperate tables (one per set of parents). However, since his parents all get along, I have them at one table and two seperate tables for my parents. I am sitting my parents with their siblings to even it out.

If there is any tension, do not feel like you cannot say "This is our wedding, so it is not about you and your anger or hurt towards one another." As their children, they have to respect you and your FH on your special day! Hope this can help you a bit!

It's nice that hey get along!! I have to have my parents and FH'S dad and mom all at separate tables but with equally "good views".... that's a CHALLENGE!! But I've got the perfect spit for FFIL (with all his friends near the bar LOL), but I plan on just asking my patents what table they want to sit at. I'm going to show them the layout and just see what they'd like (they got sat behind a pole at my brothers wedding 6 years ago and I still hear about it constantly.... thought SIL was being a bitch on that one)

Ah such great advice ! Thank you so much!!

Good advice! I would agree to chat with all of them and see what they think! Good luck!

We do! We sat down with our parents and just asked them as a group what they wanted. To sit at the parents table or would they like to be at a table with friends. All of our parents chose to sit together for the dinner. Just ask your dad if he would be ok with sitting with everyone at the parents table or give him the chose to sit with someone else he might get along with. Most time they will do it because it's your day.
