I really need some advice from other brides out there. Last night I got a call from my grandparents (on my mothers side) saying that if I don't have that whole side of the family sit together- they won't come (about 10-12people). This this just the jist of the conversation- there was alot of yelling and not very nice things said to me, and at the end of the call I was completely in tears. I didn't get to explain that I had just- literally two days ago, handed in my seating chart and escort cards to my venue, and I had already placed everyone in the family. So my issue now is that I don't know how to respond to this. I'm already upset at the thought of not having some of my closest family there- but I really don't know how to fix the seating either. I purposely placed people at tables that would get along with one another but also have the families combined. I didn't want to have one side of the family at table 1 and another at table 2. I thought it was the right thing to have the families all mingle together. I know this is a bit of a vent- but any advice on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.
