So I am 2 weeks away from my wedding and having a very difficult time with the seating chart, especially since others have their own opinions on the best way we should create the seating chart. So here is my dilemma. I do not want anyone to feel uncomfortable by seating guests with people they do not know, this includes both family and friends. Others tell me it does not matter because after dinner people get up and move around anyway, however from personal experience, even if it was for an hour or so, seating with people you don’t know at a wedding is very uncomfortable and I don’t want anyone to feel this way. All I want is for guest to have fun, enjoy themselves and I feel my seating chart idea will accomplish this. However, if I seat people based on how I want, we’ll have a pretty even number of guests per table, which I want, but it also means the bridal party will be scattered throughout, which I don’t mind, I’ve seen this at other weddings and never saw a problem with it. My fiancé’s as well as his sister’s opinion however, is that the wedding party should seat close to us because according to them it looks nice and makes sense since they are important to us and had a big part in our wedding. If we follow my fiancé’s and my sister in law's thought process on this, we’ll have the bridal party near us, but we’ll have very uneven number of guests per table, ranging from 6-9 which is driving me crazy, on top of the fact that some guests will seat with people they don’t know. What do you guys think, is having bridal party near us really that important, please help!
