My biggest fear is having one side of the reception his family/friends and the other side my family/friends. I would rather have people sit at a blended table and have everyone get to know each other. MY FMIL wants to have tables reserved for families but I don't think that's really fair. The way I see it is that our TWO families just became ONE so shouldn't they at least mingle for one night. The only reserved table will be the the Head Table, and the Immediate Family (MOB, MOG, FOB, etc...)
Am I wrong for wanting people to mingle? And what is more appropriate?
