No politics at my wedding!

I have an uncle who blocked me on Facebook because he couldn't handle my holding different political views from his. A dear friend offered to accidentally on purpose spill her drink on him if he starts anything at the wedding. Everyone else is likely to behave themselves.

Not something you can control my friend

Nothing you can do but be a gracious and beautiful bride on your wedding day.

I would try and socialize it word of mouth with family and friends. Hopefully it will get routed to the potential offenders.

I wish I would've calculated the fact that it's an election year and pushed the wedding back... *sigh*

@Eleanor! LOL. I almost spit out my coffee. :-)

You can't. But if there's one or two people you're very concerned about, you could confide your worries in them as a general statement or even "ask for advice" on it, and hope they take the hint.

Make check boxes on your RSVP cards where guests can identify party affiliation and preferred candidate and then organize your seating chart based on that.

Oh what a headache I am sending warm thoughts to all you 2016 brides...but seriously you cannot force grown adults into conversation...let them talk about what they want. Do seating charts with likeminded people

MN. .....yes!

You can't tell your guests what they can and can not say. That's what creating the seating chart is for.

Just get a donkey piñata and an elephant piñata. Anyone starts arguing, tell them to take it out back with bats Put some mini liquor bottles in the piñata too, those are fabulous piñata prizes.

Unfortunately you can't control the conversion between your guests

Another vote for, "You cannot control what people talk about". And don't be so sure they won't behave-- I had super conservative and super liberal guests-- they did fine. My MIL and FIL had a *nasty* divorce, lots of bad feelings, even decades later-- they controlled themselves. It may go better than you think.

Change the theme to Soviet Bloc and then strip them of their first amendment rights. Put conversation "suggestions" on the table. Should anyone stray from approved topics, have the venue staff make them disappear... if you know what I mean.

Obviously, I wish there would be no talk of politics at our wedding, but it's inevitable.

Most people know not to talk about religion or politics.

Nothing, don't be a control freak. Duh.

Also, my wedding is 3 days before the election. My family lean left. Fiance's are hard right. It could be BAD. But most of them know how to suck it up for the occasion. I hope.

Emilyg-date twin!!
