Hello again!!!!
I will be having my two best friends as my bridesmaids and both have boyfriends.
FI will be having his two brothers as groomsmen and both are married.
The boyfriends/wifes will not be part of the party and therfore will not be dressed like our groomsen/bridesmaids.... Where do I sit them... I feel bad not sitting them with there partner at the head table...
My idea was to sit everyone (bridesmaids and boyfriends and groomsmen and wifes at the head table....
Will it look bad since they will not be dressed the same way?
Need your imput... Thanks

| We went to a wedding in New York in October and they had the bride and groom sitting together. They then had two smaller tables with the bridal party and their dates. I thought it looked good. Especially because the foucs was still on the bride and groom.

| Our party consisted of only 2 married persons the rest not married (total of 5 a side). We sat the BF/GF/spouses at other tables with whoever they may know that was invited, or all with each other. Basically on my side the girls other halves were closer thus their family and so were invited so they were put with them. On DH's side, we put all the GF's and the one wife together at a table. SOme had met before, the rest well they were fine with it too so it all worked out.

| To me it was more important that people had fun and sat with their partners. My head table was my husband and our parents. The wedding party and their partners sat at special tables up front.

To me it was more important that people had fun and sat with their partners. My head table was my husband and our parents. The wedding party and their partners sat at special tables up front. I like this idea! I would probably do this too, but coming from a small town, everyone knows everyone and they don't mind sitting with eachother. But for a wedding where the dates don't know the other dates, I would just let them sit together. My FH was a groomsman at his friends wedding, I went with him and out of everyone at the wedding I knew just the bride, groom, and my FH. So to make a long story short, I didn't have a good time...and spent most of the time wandering around by myself and asking FH when we were going to head home! Stacey

I think I found the answer...
I think we will do separated tables on different levels (heights)....
The highest table will be ours (fi and i), on a lower level will be two tables:one for FI's parents and one for my parents and my grandma....
I'll sit my bridesmaids and the groomsmen with they're families/friends...
Like this no more problems....
Thanks a lot everyone....

| Here's what I would do: I would plan an evening to take the Bridal Party out...with their significant others...therefore they can meet each other...chat...and hopefully get better acquainted with each other and VIOLA!...seat them together for the wedding!!  Oops I just read more...the groomsmen- have their wives sit with the grooms family Your BM's boyfriends-have them sit at a table together with some other people...at least they can keep each other company during dinner

| If the wives and boyfriends are not part of the wedding, then why sit them with the wedding party? It's only for the supper ... cant there be a table just for the wives and boyfriends of the bridal party? They'll be together the rest of the evening and most likely sitting at the same table with their wives and boyfriends for the rest of the night after supper? If I was a BM in your wedding, I wouldnt expect to have my boyfriend sit beside me. He isnt in the wedding party. Now having said that .. to each their own.. do as you like. I see you posted that you found the solution .. so... wonderful! I just wanted to add my thoughts to the thread.
