CommentAuthorMrsL2Be
Why not just put you and your groom and the MOH and Best man on the top table then seat parents else where?? That way saves arguments xx

CommentAuthormrs handforth
im not having a top table as it would cause too much hassle x
I read somewhere a suggestion where by you get the parents to have a table each which they 'host' instead of having them on the top table - hope that makes sense! x

We are having round tables for all our guests then a rectangular "top table" just for me and my groom :) saves issues as I only have 1 parent also and can't be bothered with it all x
Here comes the bride......

I'm not having a proper top table, I'm not even having a seating plan, however, what I am doing is as we have 7 kids between us both me and H2B and our kids will all sit on a table just for us which I shall decorate slightly differently to the others.
Our wedding day - 6 October 2012

I've got parent issues too, families Eh!!
My advice would be to sit them wherever is going to make YOU and your other half happy, its your wedding, if they love you they wont cause any hassles. xx

I'm seating my Mum next to my OH's Dad and my Dad next to my OH's Mum, should save any arguments. My Step Dad will be on a table with my Stepbrothers and their girlfriends along with my nieces and nephews...hopefully keeping them as far away from each other as possible!xx

there will be me, hubby to be, best man, my best guy mate who is giving me away, and two of the bridesmaids as they are making a speech :)
the other 4 bridesmaids are going to be on 2 at the front with my parents and hubby to be parents and ushers! :)

We are sitting my H2B's parents on round tables they do not mind not being on TT, my mum is giving me away so she will!!!
CommentAuthorbridalmiss
That's easy, put his parents' new OHs next to each other and the parents on the outside of the 4 :-)
CommentAuthorvicki
We're just having me , my oh and our 3 kids on our tt it's just easier as i have 2 step parents and my oh only has his mom who had a stroke a couple of years ago and is really self conscious about eating in front of other people

CommentAuthorniccithomas
i would say either split them up~(either end of table) or tell them to put up and shut up. i know what u mean though, i've only got my mum now, but my other half has dad, mum and dads girlfriend (mums ex bestfriend).i hope your seating problem sorts itsself out. nic x
CommentAuthorShad
Both our parents are divorced and all have new partners...nightmare! So, we're having us, our son, best man & 4 bridesmaids on top table. Then, we'll have each 'set' of parents hosting 4 tables nearest the top table! This way, we don't offend anyone and there's no awkwardness (hopefully) x
Can't wait to be a complete family of Tompkinsons!
CommentAuthorWeeMintyMonkie
My H2B will only have his mum if she is still with us and can make it, if not then he will have his dad, but i dont know if his dad will make it either, (they arent much talking just now due to his dad not being in touch about his mums health)
So it might end up that its only my parents at the top table which will be handy. I dont have to worry about odd numbers etc.
