This is always a difficult one, Uncle Bill won’t sit with Auntie Mary and so on. Remember this is YOUR wedding so don’t get stressed.
Firstly there are some seating arrangements that have traditionally been done for years.
The bride and groom sit in the middle of the top table, The Bride should always be at the left side of the Bridegroom.
So, the table should go -Chief Bridesmaid, Bridegroom’s Mother, Bride’s Father, Bride, Bridegroom, Bride’s Mother, Bridegroom’s Father and Best Man – this is from the left facing your guests.
Then decide what kind of room your reception is taking place in. Will there be round tables or two or three long tables connecting to the top table. Ideally your bridesmaids will be near the top table.
Now the fun starts, decide on who sits with who. Close family normally sit near to the top table, if you know that two people don’t get on then don’t put them on the same table or if you have a divorced couple it is better to sit them apart. If there are children present, it is always advisable to sit them with their parents, you don’t want a food fight on your hands.
Mixing both sides of the family helps to get everyone talking.
Remember, try to be sensitive when planning the tables and things will work out just fine. When you have made your final arrangements write out name cards and a plan and give it to your caterers.
