    So I'm just writing out the seating plans for the venue so they know where to put everyone and I don't know what order to put people in on the top table. As you look at the top table should the bride and brides family be on the left or right or does it not matter? I know we can have what we want but is there a tradition?

    I don't think many people have the traditional line up these days do they? Both our sets of parents are divorced for starters!

    I think that you should just have what you want no matter if it's traditional or not x

    madam butterfly, I think traditionally it is both sets of parents, BM and MOH, with the parents split up so that MOB is next to FOG and MOG is next to FOB....

    We had from Left to right:
    MOH, FOG, MOB, Groom, Bride, FOB, MOG, Best Man.

    We mixed it up to show how we are now one big family! But eeryone gets on well so it was ok. Do it how you feel suits your family best.

    We're having

    BMAN1, MOH, our son, MOB, FOB, me, h2b, MOG, FOG, BMAID, BMAN2.

    Seeing as they're still together I decided just to sit my parents together and barrys parents together. I think they'd prefer it that way x

    I've been thinking about mine actually - I think I'd actually switch my dad and my son so Liam's between me and my mum - think that'd be better x
