    Hello Ladies :)

    We need a little advice/help with our table plan. Both sets of parents have divorced/split up and we are not having any of them on the top table for this reason as they bicker and its childish and we're not having them ruin our day.

    We have 5 BMS and 3 Ushers + BM, so at the moment the top table is standing at:

    ? - ? - Best Man - Groom - Bride - Maid of Honour - ? - ?

    We have to have 8 on top table for the rest of the tables to work accoridingly.

    Any suggestions who we can fill the spaces with?

    My nan has had a stroke and my grandad is her full time carer, she's very emotional and concious of the fact that her face has dropped on one side so i wouldnt want to pop her in the spotlight like that :(

    I'm really stuck.

    I have 3 brothers but i cant have 1 and not the others :( xx

    Do you think the ushers would really feel left out if they were sat with their partners etc?

    Ushers are meant to be out sat with the guests, one of there duties is to get the guests chatting etc.. as mean as it sounds, bridesmaids are more important so I doubt the ushers would care less!
