Ceremony seating

Micaiah, on June 6, 2019 at 4:10 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 4
I'm trying to figure out reserved seats for the ceremony. Both sides are a little convoluted.
My dad died over a decade ago. My mom has since started dating someone who I adore, and he is coming to the wedding. Also sitting with my mom will be my brothers, one of whom is walking me down the aisle. I want to have a seat reserved for my dad to remember him, but I'm not sure how everyone should be sitting together. It will just be the 5 seats, maybe 6? My mom's father (my grandfather) will also be there, and should probably sit with them as well...
On FHs side, we have 3 sets of grandparents (only one grandmother is passed, but he wants to reserve a seat for her like I am with my dad), 3 parents (mom, birth dad, and step dad, but he will be officiating), and 1 brother plus his wife. Everyone else in his family is in the bridal party.
How would you seat all them?
For FHs side, I'm thinking mom, birth dad, brother + wife will be in the front row with mom nearest the aisle, and birth dad furthest from the aisle. Then put all the grandparents in the second row with passed grandmother's seat closest to the aisle.
No ideas on my side. Any help is appreciated.

    I would just tell the crowd of them that you have reserved 2 rows on each side for them to sit, and let them choose their own seats.

    If you have escorts, they can make sure the seats set aside are only filled by the people you want!

    Our first 2 rows will be for our immediate family members only.. The rest of our guest can seat anywhere they please..

    Hey Micaiah!

    I would also do what Danielle suggested and reserve the front 2 rows for family and let them sit where they please within those rows. You will have enough to worry about on your wedding day than stress that people are not sitting in exactly the right seat. Smiley smile
