Seating Charts!

I let my wedding party sit with their plus 1s especially since I had a sweetheart table. I then had my family (immediate-children/parents) closest to me, then my sorority sisters and then friends. Hubby had his immediate family near him and then family/friends. We grouped people using the RSVPs before inputting into any seating chart apps-I think it was easier so I didnt have to do so many edits. We had tables of 8

If you're not going to sit with your bridal party, you should let them sit with their families/dates. What's the sense in making them all sit together if you won't even be joining them?

We will be alone at our sweetheart table. The nearest tables will have our immediate families consisting of parents, grandparents, and siblings. If your siblings can't fit at the nearest table with your parents and your nieces and nephews, put them at the next closest table. From there our aunts, uncles, and cousins will be at the next tables. After that is close friends and bridal party with dates wherever they fit.

Yeah we were going to be at the head table with them but ran out of space so we were thinking putting a smaller table near them. We have 10 in bridal party and most don't have plus ones only 2 of them do (and they aren't significant others two of the groomsmen want their brothers as plus ones haha) but yeah its been a playing with seats and bridal party. We wanted to all be at the head table but seems it will be super crowded so we are stilling playing with table ideas.

We are having a whole wedding party table. Then immediately in front of us will be my immediate family (dad, step mom, brother/his date, grandfather, uncle, and godfather) and his immediate family (mom, dad, sister in law, nephew, flower girl, flower girls mother, grandmother). Other than that we tried to put families together as much as we could but didn't really put much thought into who was the next closest to us or anything.

We're also making preliminary seating charts and this is what we have so far:

Table one: us, my bridesmaids and their dates

Table two: groomsmen and their dates

Table three: parents, FH's grandma, FH's brother/SIL/nephews

Table four: a mix of our aunts and uncles

Table five: more aunts and uncles and some of our cousins

Table six: more cousins, my brother and his fiancée

Table seven: my college friends

Tables eight-ten: our mutual friends

I did a sweetheart table. Place the bridal party at the table with their plus ones/families. Then we sat our family, after the bridal party followed by friends. We made sure everyone sat close to people they were familiar with so that could be comfortable.
