When you do seating arrangements, is table 1 generally the brides family plus the partners of the wedding party? How would you seat the grooms parents if they are both remarried and really don't get along?

Hi Hayley Pula
what a great question personally when i do seatin arrangements and parents are seperate i generally allow 3 tables for the parents. In your case i would set up table 1 as Grooms father table 2 brides parents table 3 brides mother. As they arent getting along i would seperate with a table between.
Hope this helps

Hi Hayley, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I would generally ask your venue coordinator if they have a floor plan for the room. That way you can have a look where the tables are going to be positioned and how close they are to the bridal table. I would also have the brides and grooms parents sitting at the two tables in front of you, then there families in the tables around them. But in your case with having an extra set a parents, I would still keep them close to your table but not too close that they will be in the way of the other parents. I hope I have answered your question for you. All the best and good luck for your big day. Kind Regards Simone - Elegant Dream Wedding & Events
Hi Hayley, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Exciting times to plan! :) generally table 1 would usually be bride and grooms immediate family. But then again there is no rules of how to do a seating arrangements. Typically its good to put the immediate family memebers closest to the bridal table followed by relatives then close friends. Partners of the wedding party can be seated with close friends that they know.
Best to put family members in seperate tables if they don't get along.
Hope this helps and all the best in your planning!
Kind regards,
