Seating Riddle

Hello!

I am a little stressed trying to figure out my seating arrangement and I thought that someone might be able to help.

I'm having a small wedding, 35 people including myself. We have four large rectangular tables that i would ideally like to pair up (to make two really long tables parallel to each other.)

My Fiancé's parents are still together but my parents are single. The problem is that my dad and mom get along okay but my dad and my Fiancé's dad hate each other and should not be seated close together. I feel that both our parents should be relatively close to us but don't want the dads to have conflict and I also want to sit by the maid of honor and best man. If they sit with us and family they may actually wish that they were with other people of the bridal party to have more fun.

And then should his grandmother sit next to his parents?

I fell bad placing anyone at the farthest spot from my Fiance and I.

Seating charts are hard.

Can you just do the two long tables perpendicular to the sweetheart table, and have his family at one and yours at another?

Could you do it so the parents are on each side of you and FH and your MOH & BM are across from you? That gives some separation in the dads but keeps everybody who's important in prime seating

That's a good idea. I'll have to go see if the tables will work that way.

I agree with this. I would do immediate family right next to you, starting with parents and working out. Then bridal party directly across from you. That would put 4 people between the two dads. They should be able to hold their composure for dinner.

That's what we are doing, just so we can have all our parents reasonably close to us but not sitting together. None of our parents have problems with each other, but I know my father would rather sit with his brother & his family than my fiance's family since he doesn't see his out of town family all the time.

That is how we arranged our tables for 40 guests. We put 3 rectangle tables together end to end on both sides of the room with the dance floor in the middle. Our sweetheart table was between the 2 rows of tables. I would put the families at each table that is the closest to your table. Here are some pics of our layout so you can see what it looked like.
