Am i wrong for seating our moms separately

Julena China, on August 11, 2021 at 7:23 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 13
So my fiancé and I are opposites when it comes to personality. I’m the life of the party and he’s very quiet. Our moms are just like us. Secondly, there is a major generation and age gap between my mom and his. His mom is my grandmothers age and my mom is the life of the party like me. Am I wrong for seating our moms separately? I know they will have to interact, but the age gap and personalities couldn’t be further away on the spectrum then these two.😂🤦🏽‍♀️

    I feel like the parents of each side usually don't sit together? They usually have a table with immediately family of that side. For me it will be my mom, her husband, my siblings. My fhs side will be his parents, both sets of grandparents and his uncle.

    You made me feel so much better about this because we were trying to blend our families and when we got to that part I had to tell my fiancé we can revisit this😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️

    My parents and my husband's parents didn't sit at the same tables. My parents sat at one table, my mother-in-law at another, and my father-in-law and wife at a third table.

    Parents are generally seated separately with their immediate families.

    Parents are generally seated with their immediate families and friends. People can mingle of their own accord. I feel like seating people together to force a connection is awkward and never ends well.

    Parents typically sit with their side of the family. My parents will be sitting with their close friends/siblings and my FH's mother will be sitting with her friends and sister :-)

    It's going to be different for some but I would agree that typically they don't sit together. For us, my FH doesn't have much family at all. It's his parents, a family friend, a couple peoples he's worked with and friends. We decided to have a parents table with their family friend so she wouldn't feel alone. Unfortunately his grandpa can't travel otherwise he'd be there as well.

    There's no problem with doing that! It's common to sit the mothers separately each with their own immediate families.

    Not wrong at all.. In fact, I think it's most common to sit the parent separately. Usually the parents sit with their respective families. I sat my mother and mother-in-law at different tables and they get along just fine.

    If you want them to sit together at some point you could seat them across from one another of side by side at the rehearsal dinner Smiley smile

    Our parents also will not sit together due to differences in personality (not that they don't get along we've had plenty of family gatherings) and how the seating works for the tables at the venue too (you can always use that excuse if anyone asks Smiley xd )
