divorced parents at reception

amart88

Does anybody have any advice about dealing with divorced parents at the reception who dislike each other and tend to cause drama? I need some creative ideas on how to keep them occupied and happy! Thanks!

My parents both know I won't tolerate any drama from them. The need to be the favorite parent outweighs their hatred of each other, so they won't do anything to jeopardize that.

If you're really worried about it, talk to them and tell them that you expect them to act like the adults they are, and you are not going to babysit them at your wedding.

I have a problem with my parents not getting along. They have been divorced and got divorced for a reason and i dont think that it is a good idea to force them to sit together if they just really cant stand one another. There really is nothing wrong with having them sit at seperate tables. You will have family from both sides there and they can sit with them. I told both of my parent that they have to be on there best behavor and they have to get along for one day and that is it. They should be able to respect you that much to do so. I also told them that i will not put up with them fighting and if they did i will that the cops see them to there cars and they can leave. I know that does sound harsh but i dont put up with it and they know that and i have to problem taking that action. This is you and your honeys day that no one should damper it. Good luck with you pickle and i hope that you make the best choice.
