Inviting "other" people

M1ssJ

Is anyone inviting "other people" to their wedding. I am inviting about 10-15 , mostly co workers, and I'm not sure if I should sit them at the same table. I dont want it to look like an other ppl table.

LOL at "other people." I am inviting several others as well and most of them are my coworkers too. I will be seating them together because they will only know each other at the wedding so it makes most sense.

lol I had this EXACT same thought the other day. We have about 15-20 invited as well. I'm like I don't want it to look all extra segragated in the venue lol. So I think I will split them up between a few different tables.

Yes. My tables are in grouping to how we know them/if they know other people. So one table will be the odd ball out, but one couple dont play nice with others, so it's nothing we can do. Another table will be mostly onther people, but they know each other/guest of FI.  So two other people tables...

If they all know each other, you should seat them together so they feel comfortable. I think it's okay if you have a table with just other people. LOL

I put them all at 1 table, I wanted everyone to be comfortable. They had fun and no one noticed. I think it would have been worse to integrate them since they wouldn't know anyone else there or at there table.

Ok , I just wanted to be sure I wasnt  reverse civil rightsing or anything

I had 7 and they were split between two tables, but only because they knew each other.  Otherwise, I would have spread them around because they are very personable and would have gotten along well with everybody.  I had the same concerns as you and was hesitant to make one obvious "other" table.  lol

HAHAHA!!! FI and I had the same discussion! I had them at one table, except for a few that are family, but he said that looked obvious. They don't know each other so we split them up and put them with tables where they would probably be the most comfortable.

It won't be that many "others" at my wedding...One of FI groomsmen is "an other" and they are like brothers from another mother!! Like seriously! LOL! They were in the army together and I have a very dear friend from work, who will be coming....about 5 others may be there...I will sit them together with other co workers...

giggling at J's *code*.  I can't.

it's gonna look like the u.n. up in there.  Instead of having a chart I was actually going to have everyone seat themselves but my moh is appalled by the idea.  we'll see.

Interesting topic. We are inviting 15 but we are not having assigned tables so I'm curious to see if they automatically congregate together or spread out.

"Other people" Tee hee hee.

M1ssJ

Lol don't laugh at my code!!!! I don't want to sound ignorant or rude so .... well y'all knew exactly what I meant! Lol

I'm afraid to mix them with my FI's family and I think I'm gonna just sit them together. The only 4 at the table that wont know each other are our major proffessors but hey! They must have some stuff in common to talk about....

I don't know why this makes me think of an episode of "Four Brides" and the other contestants were assigned to sit at the kids table. LOL! I would have been p*ssed!

This!  When I went to my boss' wedding he put all of us from the company at the same table.  i was relieved.  It is more comfortable sitting with people you know.  So if I do invite any of my coworkers they will all sit at the "other people" table for sure.

RealHappyGal

my "other people" know alot of the "regular people??"...lol  So they'll be mixed accordingly
