    We are thinking about seating plans for the big day but are having real trouble. some of H2B family do not get on and are quite partial to a G&T, Its really hard as i dont want these 2 people near eachother but want their tables near us as they are family.

    Any ideas ?

    I have told them they are not to go near eachother and i am fully prepared to take them down in my wedding dress lol.

    I hope i am worrying about nothing and as it is the wedding of someone they both love they will behave

    Any ideas on how to make sure everything runs smoothly ??

    Thank you

    families are always difficult!!

    Hopefully they will understand that this is yours and h2bs big day. If you have spoken to them it would be wroong of them to bring any of their issues along with them.

    It wasnt family but we had A BM who we KNEW would get drunk, act up, sulk if SHE wasnt center of attention. We were worried where to sit her, until i sacked her lol

    familines arent so easy are they though! We were originally going to have a bbq reception in the afternoon and said NO alcohol, anyone drinking WILL be removed forceably if needs be lol. Now not got that problem and nobody really who will cause an issue.
    All i can say is do what youve done and pre warn them, and if they start politely ask them to leave.

    Firstly, I would just assume that they will control themselves because they are attending a wedding with lots of family, or that one of them won't show up. Just to reduce the stress on yourself.
    I would just do a bit of mixing to seperate them, ie. have one of them seated with your family or friends. Good luck, seating plans cam be such a nightmare.

    I have the same problem, my aunt and my sister in law hate each other. Im going to have to sit them at other ends of the room from each other. I wanted both of them near me but its not worth the risk. I am hoping they just ignore each other as they know how much time and effort I have put into this wedding. If you have spoken to them im sure they will put their differences aside for one day x x

    I know just how your feeling x it depends on how your room is set out to how I'd seat them.

    You've pre warned them that should be enough.
    I remind them closer to the big day and warn them if they can't keep a lid on it for the day they will be removed :)

    If they care about you and your H2B then they will behave.

    Families eh.

    I would hope they would make an effort to be civil to one another for your sake. Hopefully there will be enough people there to act as a buffer between them
