Talk about anxities, what about seating people who don't like each other? Yikes. I have aunts and uncles who are not speaking to each other and cannot be placed at the same table. That isn't too much of a problem but relatives are looking at the other table and screaming that the other table was in a better spot and those relatives were treated better. My cousin had this problem and the war of where the tables were set almost ruined the wedding for her. By the way, the tables were right next to each other.
Table seating is a real horror to get through.
That is when you don't use assigned seating. I would just make sure to reserve tables for the immediate families and let the aunts and uncles choose their own seats. It is hard enough deciding who to put at which table, then with feuding relatives in the mix, it is too much of a headache.
Yeah I would agree. Let them choose their own seats except the parents of the bride and groom. But even that can be hard if you have divorced parents. These days it can be a nightmare. You just can`t mnake everyone happy. Maybe some weddings need a bouncer. You could write on the invitaions for the fuueding ones that if they don`t behave they will be booted.
What a great idea.. No assigned seats. To be honest I always hated that anyway. I never seem to be put with people I want to sit with. A lot of people are put with people they don't know or don't care for. I like the idea of having a couple of tables set aside for the family (parents, grandparents, etc.) then let the rest pick their own seats.
Giving the guests the freedom to choose their tables is the best way in wedding receptions. That way, they get to really enjoy the reception. Sorry for the latecomers who have to be seated in corners, but this way really saves a lot of headaches.
i agree with you on that i am planning on making seating arrangement where they will be seated apart from each other..
According to me ,first we have to apolozise them for inconvenience. The decision making in should be given in the hands of the them only.Because we can not come to conclusion that which place would be better for them.But after they have settled in a place , it is must that we should confirm their comfort and convenience.
Ya its a big deal to provide seatings and other facilities for relatives at reception... But we have friends to do all at wright
Don't seat feuding relatives next to each other -- they're bound to spark flames........It is common to seat the children on a table slightly away from their ... So allow for acceptable distances between feuding relatives ...........
i guess to avoid any untoward situations regarding this situations labelling the table maybe a good idea ..namely relatives for groom /bride ..and i think it will work since i had experienced this one too..
