    tbh nowadays you sit where you want peeps to sit near you, but the old way is you would sit next to one of his parents and vice versa for him. xxxx

    Are your in-laws not on the top table? You could have...

    Bridesmaid / Father of the Bride / Bride / Groom / Mother of the Bride / Best Man / Bridesmaid??



    We're having 7 on our table and it's as follows; BM / MOB / FOB / Bride / Groom / FOG / Best Man

    Ah it's so sad isn't it Terri? - Si's mum passed away 4 years ago (today actually) and I know he's gutted about the wedding but then he doesn't think she would have come anyway coz she was so poorly...His dad's very odd and he's now worried he won't be comfortable at our wedding as he just can't settle - even at Si's auntie's wedding in December he wouldn't sit at the top table and just sat in someone else's seat lol

    we had two top tables, one with the parents and one with us & best man & bridesmaids & partners. We sat next to each other, and had the best man next to groom and MOH next to me, then we put their parters and then another bridesmaid & her partner in boy-girl fashion. The parents table went boy-girl mostly but we had two women next to each other as there wasn't a partner for one of the parents.

    Yeah I was thinking the same with pics of Si's mum and our nan's who also aren't here anymore but not sure his dad would be able to handle that! Think I'll just give Si a pic of his mum to put in his pocket if he wants to.

    LOL mine hardly did anything without a lot of prompting, and eventually me telling him that if he didn't sort it out I wasn't going to and then we wouldn't have it ... like the DJ and his suit and shoes!

    Well kind of ... I helped him pick the suit and shoes ... the only thing he did on his own was the DJ, and even then he asked the venue for a list they've had before and just chose the first on the list!

    we have seven on ours and we are doing it this way :

    Father of the Bride Mother of the Bride Groom Bride Best Man Mother of the Groom My Son

    it works out to be girl boy girl boy with us, I could have put the FOB next to the MOG but my son wanted to sit next to the MOG rather than sit next to his grandma, he thought he may have more fun as my mum is very deaf :) x
