Ideally, we would sit with both families, but both families are too large to combine at one table. Each table holds 8 to 10 people. I don't like the option of a sweetheart table or long head table that faces the room.
Family members are:
*Bride and groom
*My parents (groom's parents are deceased)
*My brother, his wife, 3 kids (8 year-old + 2 teens)
*Groom's brother, wife, 2 kids (p*****n and teen)
*Groom's sister, wife, 1 kid (10 years old)
*Groom's sister's best friend who was widowed less than a year ago, and sticks to groom's sister like glue.
Some options would be:
*Sit with groom's family as they're from the opposite coast and we hardly ever see them.
*Sit with parents and all siblings + spouses, and have a kids' table for their children. (No room for groom's sister's best friend at adult family table though and she might be pissed.)
*Sit with groom's side for meal and bride's side for dessert (or vica versa).
What do you think of these options? Or perhaps you can think of a new option.
