  My mom is sitting with her friends, his mom with her friends, and my dad with his friends. Better in my eyes, to have everyone happy than awkward.

  I hadn't heard of this until recently, when my boss mentioned the "parents table" at her wedding. I was going to have them sit with their relatives, but now I'm not sure... I'm not aware of a tradition related to this.

  Nope, we had our immediate families sitting separately.At one table was m parents, grandparents, my aunt, uncle and my two cousins that were BMs.  At the other table were H's mom, dad, stepmom, mom's best friend, BIL and his wife and kids, and H's great aunt.

  H didn't want his parents sitting at the same table.  They are divorced, and he knew they'd be more comfortable sitting at different tables, neither of his parents sat with my parents.  We put my grandparents at my parent's table and his siblings/families and aunts and uncles with his parents.

  And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

  My mom sat with DH's parents, along with grandparents (only 2 came to the reception) and godparents. It worked well for them and our seating in general, but I don't know that it's customary.  We just kind of randomly decided to do it. Maybe it's tradition for their family but not yours?

  I've always heard you treat parents the same as other guests, sitting them with the people they are most comfortable with.

  I just realized you're talking about the reception. Duh. We had a table for each family, so my parents sat with their parents and siblings, and his parents sat with their siblings (he didnt have grandparents attend the wedding).

  My parents sat with my MIL and DH's grandfather.  But my situation is a little weird.  My MIL and my parents sat together at the ceremony and are all BFFs now.
