Order of Seating Grandmothers

Jennifer613

I know that in the order of things all of our grandmothers should be seated and then his mother and finally my mother... however, I don't know what order to put the grandmothers in. Both of my grandmothers will be attending as well as FI's maternal grandmother. 

Is there a specific order for grandmothers to be seated? I don't want to offend any of them.

Alphabetically? By height? I really have no idea. I think they will feel so honored that they won't even care what order they are seated in.

I think we did his then mine. And then his parents, then mine.

I really don't think it matters.  If you think they'll notice an order, just be consistent about things so they realize there is no favoritism.

My grandparents actually sat themselves when they got to the Church.  I was "hiding" in the back so I didn't know until my mom told me later.  But really, my grandma has bad knees and didn't feel like standing so her and my grandpa say.  It's no big deal.

I've always seen either:

Groom's Paternal
Groom's Maternal
Bride's Paternal
Bride's Maternal

OR:
Groom's Paternal
Bride's Paternal
Groom's Maternal
Bride's Maternal

but I think you can do whatever you want.  By age could be cute!

My grandparents sat themselves, so they never traditionally got sat at the beginning of the ceremony.  I really don't think it matters.

The most frail get to sit first.
