The "Bad Table"

So my reception venue has two "bad tables". That is, they are in a position from which the people sitting there will not be able to see the dance floor or the bride and groom. They are positioned in a beautiful sun-room though. They will be able to interact with lots of other guests, there's just a wall which blocks their view of half the room.

Now, everyone at my wedding is important. And somebody has to sit there. There really isn't anybody we could put there who "deserves it". The room only has a capacity of 108 and we are at full capacity for our guest list.

We have to do assigned tables in order to avoid certain almost inevitable family drama if we don't. (We are in an interracial couple, so we don't want "black tables and white tables" and my fiancee's side has a lot of internal drama so we have to separate some of them)

Any advice on how to make the people at the bad table not feel ticked off?
