June 2012 Weddings

His Mom and Stepmom

Okay, so it's getting to the time where we're planning seating arrangements..

At the ceremony, not so sure how to go about have them sit.  They are not on speaking terms at ALL.  We are having three family tables at the reception (one for mine, his mom's, and his dad's).  I'm a little nervous about how they will act at the wedding to be quite honest.

Please let me know what you guys thoughts are..  any of you having to deal with a parent/step-parent?

Re: His Mom and Stepmom

  • I'd honestly ask both his mom and his stepmom how they feel about it.  If they're even remotely mature, they'll be able to handle it.  For my parents (also divorced), I am just putting Dad and his date in one row, and Mom and her (potential) date in another. Plus the respective grandparents next to them as well so it's not empty
  • We have the same situation FI's dad's wife is not on speaking terms with his mom. I'm doing separate family tables at the reception and seating them in separate pews at the church. I've made it well known that I expect everyone to at least be civil. If they can't act like grown ups for one day then they can stay at the hotel.
