The Garbage Table 🍽️

No. Everyone that is invited/ attending is someone at least one of us wanted to invite. Things cost way to much money to invite people you don't want.

We had an Apocalypse Table (we didn’t really have people we didn’t like at our wedding)

We tried to sit friends who knew each other together and we ended up with one table filled half way with very wildly conservative guests and another table half-filled with incredibly vocally liberal guests. Instead of doing two half tables we just put them together and prayed politics didn’t come up. Luckily they ended up talking about brewing, sports, and travel.

No because it seems mean to me. I'm trying to integrate people who's personalities match

Reminds me of the premise for "Table 19". 🤣
We didn't have any unwanted guests, but did feel bad for those seated at tables near the entrance of the ballroom.

I agree, everyone who received an invite to my wedding was someone I wanted to be there, even plus ones.

That was a risky decision, I'm glad it turned out well.

I guess it would only be mean if those people knew about it. My husband and I matched our guests based on their relationships to one another and personalities.

I never heard of Table 19 until now.

No. We tried seating people who knew one another at a table. We didn't invite anyone unwanted

I didn't know this way a things some people did! Seems rude to me

I beat my head against my desk at work for days trying to make sure everyone was seated with people they knew. The stragglers (late RSVPs) kept throwing off my seating chart so eventually I just started putting them in open spots at the last available table. It's a table full of people who are seated away from people they actually know since those tables were full. So I guess that's my "This is What Happens When You Don't RSVP in Time" table.

My husband and I did the same thing.

I didn't know until a few days ago. I'm constantly researching topics related to marriage and weddings.
