Teen seating chart question

If they know each other and you think they'd be okay with it- put them together. They'll have more fun.. maybe a table further away if you're worried about them being noisy.

I know growing up, I would rather sit with my cousins than my parents. Haha

My nieces and cousins are around the same age and they always find a way to sit together at family functions. I think it's safe to sit them together.

I'm putting teenagers with people they will have fun with. Maybe close by parents but not at the same table.

If they're all friends/related to each other, they'll appreciate getting to sit with each other. My cousins and I always wanted to sit together when our parents took us places.

Ok thanks everyone. I wanted to be sure this was okay. I was thinking the same thing that they would have more fun!

I'm debating this for my cousin's, but the age range is enough that I don't want anyone to feel like they're babysitting the younger ones.

If you're not sure, you could always check with the parents and get a general consensus

I say it depends on the teen. My cousin did a teen table at his wedding and I was at a table with my cousins. Partway through the reception my cousins wife said something about how she should have sat me with the other teens. I would have not been ok with that. I'm a shy person. I would rather be with family.

Thanks for asking this! I've been thinking of doing the same. My nieces and nephews are all 14-19 so I'm thinking they'd have more fun together than with their parents! I'm thinking of putting playing cards on the table and making sure a power strip is nearby for all their charging needs

I would want to be at a table with my cousins.

Not going to lie, I would be pretty unhappy if I didn't get seated with my parents. I'm not super close with my cousin, but I am with my family.

Really, it depends on the people. Are they friends? Do they talk outside of just family functions on holidays? If so, then it will work. If not, I'd rethink it.

If my aunt doesn't do what she wants and bring her grandkids, I should only have one teenager at my wedding but I know she would feel more comfortable sitting with her family despite finding my family more fun. It's just depends on what they would be most comfortable with. In your case, I think sitting them with other teenagers is a good idea.

I put my cousins together and aunts and uncles together.

My cousins have kids (6weeks to 10 years at the time of the wedding) sat them with their parents. But teenagers sat together and with other cousins.

We have a ton of cousins, so we usually seat them together rather than with their parents if they are teens. I'd say 12 and under with parents, 13 and up with cousins. Unless you don't have a lot of cousins...

They are all cousins and/or close family friends.
