So far I'm down to the wire, 7 more days! I'm at a stand still with the seating arrangements. Such as where to place who. I'd like to keep the bridal party together with their significant other, however there is one couple (best man & wife FHs brother) who has given all of us nothing but an absolute hard time, the whole year of planning!! She has made every single one of my bridal party very uncomfortable as she is a very, very rude person. Our best man my soon to be brother in law has had nothing to do with anything because of her, he became a stranger this last year needless to say. I dont want anyone uncomfortable with them at the table, would it be okay to place them elsewhere? Not like by themselves but with family still in front but another table.

No. If he is in your party, and best man no less, he shouldn't have to be ostracized from the group because you don't like his wife. You all won't even be sitting that long at the reception. I think everyone can suck it up for one meal together.

I don't think the entire wedding party needs to sit together. If he is your FH's brother, then maybe it would be okay to sit them with your FH's parents? Or cousins?

ETA: If your entire wedding party doesn't all know each other, they shouldn't be forced to sit together because they are the wedding party. Seat them with people they know.

Personally, I don't think you should single them out as the only members of your BP sitting somewhere else. We decided to split our BP into two tables so that they could sit with their SO's and we have other family joining them. Both of FH's siblings are in the BP and are at one table, and we had my brother and his GF sitting with them. Is there a way you could split the BP into multiple tables and put other family at the table with the best man and his wife?

Is he the only other sibling? You could theoretically sit them with FHs parents at their table. But I'd move all siblings to that table too. If not then bridal party. As the best man he should be at a main table.

I agree on splitting up the bridal party into several tables with other family or friends! This is what we did just because we were seating guests by friend groups!

How are you seating the rest of the bridal party? If absolutely everyone else will be sitting with you, then yes, it's really rude to seat them elsewhere, even if it's with family.

Now, if you're doing a sweetheart table, then scatter the bridal party wherever it makes the most sense. Just don't put all of them together except for this couple. Let adults be adults. If you sit them all together, and no one has anything to say to your FSIL, that's on them.
