I have friends traveling from faraway and want to sit with them. Not that I'll be sitting. My mother in law got all crazy on me and said no I had to sit with her and my mom with my sister inlaw and my sister. Why can't I sit with my friends is that a problem?
What did you girls do?

    I sat with my father who traveled from OOT to be there. Otherwise I would have sat with BP as they were the hosts, but like you said you won't be sitting for long :)

    You could plan an informal after party at your home or your parents and invite the OOT friends to keep the celebration going --- this would give you some more one-on-one time with them (and they could help you bring gifts into the house).

    I never once sat during the shower except when they had FI and I in two central chairs at the front of the room for the Newlyweds Game and for gift-opening.

    I sat at a table with my mom, grandmother FIs mom, grandmother, sister and one of my BMs who was able to travel for it. I only sat when we were eating, other than that I was talking to everyone or opening presents.

    Mine was like a luncheon party at a house, so we were always standing, mingling, talking, eating.  No formal place settings as it wasn't really a sit down thing.  But at the more formal showers I've been to, the bride usually sits with the wedding party.  If I were you, I'd sit wherever the hosts put you.  You probably won't be sitting for long, so just make sure you get up and spend time talking to everyone.

    I sat with my BP--my mom sat with our family and my MIL sat with her family--no issues with it at all--however, I only sat there when there was food--otherwise I was up and about talking to everyone

    Thanks girlls. It's not that I didn't want to sit with my mother in law its more I felt I should sit with my friends who traveled so far for me. Yeh your all right I will not be sitting unless i'm eating.  She ended up calling me back after getting all upset with me just because I asked to sit with my friends and now says I can sit with them. I don't get it. My in laws have only caused stress through this whole wedding process.
