Hey; table planning is hellish, esp' top table!! mine's very simple despite huge amounts of step- this and remarried-the other. it's me, Him, my mum&partner, his dad&partener, the MOH & Bestman. My rule is, if you make a speech, you make the top table. if you dont, you're not qualified. its harsh, but i works. GOOD LUCK & Blessed Be. <3 x

Do what we did and have a sweetheart table - just the two of us & then our respective parents headed up their own family tables with our siblings, best man, MOH, etc.. on those it worked really well x
Its all real interesting reading this, as it's not an Australian custom to have the parents at the head table at all! Well not at any wedding that I've ever been to before!!! I'd never even heard of it until h2b's mum said something about it one day. Any wedding I've been to has always just had the bride, groom and any attendants on the top table. When I mentioned it to my mum she was dead against being up there, but hsb says that his mum will get mighty offended if she has to sit at another table for 'just a bridesmaid'. Mind you I'm having a MOH and 3 bridesmaid and all of them are flying over from Australia just for the wedding so would like to show them a little more respect than just to shove them on an unimportant table. Still plenty of time to argue over that, though we are thinking of doing something of a lucky dip for our table plan, either do it ourselves or have people pick a number on the day and that's where they sit! Saves an awful lot of stress and I want people to mingle as it'll be a very multicultural wedding.

my parents are divorced and re married but only my mum and dad will be seated at the top table, we are having MOH and best man at top table and the rest of the groomsmen and bridesmaids will be seated at their own table :) xx

We're just having parents at top table, but in our family my grandma is really important so she's sitting at top table next to my mum - only got one bridesmaid so have put her on a table near the front with some people I think she'll get along with!

I'm ages away from doing the seating plan, but I am having
Bridesmaid, Best Man, Groom, Me, Son, MoH, Usher and then I am thinking about just letting everyone sit where they want! Only other dedicated table will be a kiddies table in front of the top table (for the flowergirls and pageboys).
If the letting people sit where they want won't work then I am going to have a parent's table - my mum and dad are divorced and both remarried, then H2B mum n dad, my son's grandparents will be on this table too (they are like a 2nd mum n dad to me!!).
IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT THEY CAN LUMP IT. IT IS MINE AND H2B'S DAY AFTERALL!! xx
