UGH - Seating Chart!!!

I spent 3 hours hashing out the seating chart with FI's mother last Thursday - and we had 2 guests on their side that are older and would be a last minute decision if they were coming (which is fine) so we seated them just in case - and she said everything was fine with the chart.  So this weekend I printed up everything for our escort cards to start getting them ready to assemble - and at 8 this morning I get an email from her that these 2 are most definitely coming so now she needs to put them with her cousins so we need to rearrange the seating, which means I could potentially need to redo most of the escort cards depending on how much this upsets the rest of the seating!  UGH - so frustrating!

Makes me want to have free-for-all seating instead......

    Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing.  You seated them just in case and she approved it.  I would tell her it's too late.  When my daughter was getting married, I told her the same thing.  Once the seating chart was done her father and MIL asked for changes.  Didn't do it and nobody cared in the end.

    That's what I really want to say.  I can see her argument, they are not really near any of her family (they are her mother's siblings or cousins or something like that, and her mother passed away 2 years ago).  We have them seated with my older family members right now, but I'm just annoyed with the whole thing.  If it was going to be an issue for them to sit there if they came then they never should have been put there in the first place!

    Your last sentence is exactly my point!

    On a side note - when I called my coordinator to ask a question about something else - she commented on how my mother is driving her crazy (not the same mother causing this problem, but I thought it was funny since she's driving everyone crazy)

    Right- I'd also add that if you're making a last minute decision about attending a wedding, don't bitch about where you're sat for dinner. It's just dinner! Leave it be and save your sanity!
