I'm having some issues trying to figure out how to seat parents at the reception.
8 people to a table.2 married parents (mine)2 married parents (his)1 grandma (mine) probably won't be able to stay for reception1 grandma (his)2 married grandparents
I think it would be awkward to seat my parents with this entire family. I can easily make a table of 8 with his family with many different configurations.
But who do I seat with my parents? I'm thinking we will keep a seat open for grandma. Just in case she's having a good day and stays. Is it strange to bump up some of their friends to Table 1 or 2? I have no aunts, uncles, or siblings. And I have close great aunts and uncles and attending. But I'm sure they'd rather sit with their families. And I don't want to put one group "above" the other.
Would you be weirded out if you went to a wedding and got bumped up to the family table because you're friends with the family?

I put my parents at a table with their best friends, who are very close with our family. You could always ask you parents who they want to sit with.

I agree with Meghan in just asking. My parents' table had my parents, my great aunt, another aunt, and a few of their close family friends. Then a few months later we went to a family friend's wedding and my whole family sat at table 1 with the father of the bride. He was at my parents table with them at our wedding.
