Hi all, long time lurker, first post. I can't find much on the subject so if this can just be directed to another thread, let me know. Getting married in May, 230-some person wedding. Doing a sweetheart table, letting my guests sit with their SO's, all that jazz. I asked both my parents and FI's parents if they wanted to sit together, or if they'd each like their own table. They opted for the latter option. So, I asked them at some point to let me know who they'd like sitting at their tables with them, so when I go to start the seating chart, I have some point of reference to go off of.
I was not expecting my mom to be so....worried. (Or to worry about it so far away still).
So, tables seat 10. My mom said she would like her mother, her sister and her husband, and two of my dad's siblings and their spouses. These three sets of aunts and uncles have all been incredibly important in my life. Now my mom is worried that her seating arrangement might breach etiquette. My mom has two other siblings, and my dad has two other as well. These aunts and uncles are all married as well and have grown families. I'm not too worried about it, but I just want to make sure there wasn't a particular set of etiquette when it comes to seating. She wants to ask other family members if they would be okay with that arrangement, but I told her she should hold off on that, because I think that would just be an awkward conversation. All thoughts and opinions welcome. Thank you!
