Is anyone having odd numbers on the top table? There will be the groom then three groomsmen then me and 4 bridesmaids, one of the bridesmaids will be 11 and she’s super excited about being a bridesmaid but we don’t know whether to have her on the top table or sitting with her dad and brother, the thought of having odd numbers on the table is freaking me out (purely for the astetics of it) but then I don’t want to disappoint her! But the OH is saying it won’t be that noticeable...

I am! My parents are divorced and I'm lucky enough to have amazing bonus parents so there will be 4 on my side, me and hubby to be then his parents...it will be slightly off but it's more important to me to have them there x

My table was going to be uneven but I have 4 bridesmaids luckily 3 of them have kids so they are sitting with their partners and kids and my bridesmaid with no kids is the only one sitting at the top table with me maybe you could suggest that to your bridesmaids then the 11 yr old could sit at the top table with you instead xx

Odd numbers are more pleasing to the eye, everything in shop windows etc is in 3's or 5's. I can't see having an odd number at your top table being an issue... people probably won't even notice anyway

I think just enjoy the whole process, only person thatl be bothered is you & it's your day to enjoy

Mine will be odd as my dad has passed away so will only have my mum and maid of honour. Whereas my partner will have both his parents and his best man

We had 7. Me, my husband, our son and then both sets of parents. Rest of bridal party we sat on the tables in front of us and that way they were able to sit with their own families and partners.

Really? Completely random aesthetics over a happy 11-year old?
In five years time will you remember the lack of symmetry or the fact you put placings over people?

How about having a round top table as we are?... x

Why don’t you ask her where she would prefer to sit? She might rather sit with her family anyway? X

Put something else in place of the 10th person, like a big centre piece, a cards box, or a 'in memory of'. Then it will looked balanced. X
