Who sits at what table for the reception dinner?

Question

How do you go about who sits at what table when doing the table list?

Answer 1

The bride's family sits together, as does the groom's family at other table(s). You should try to put people together who know eachother such as your friends. But then again some couples don't like to do that because they like to introduce different parts of the family to other people. It's all up to you!

Answer 2

You need to have a "head table" where you and your husband sit (in the middle) with your wedding party on both sides of you.  You can have all the Bridesmaids on one side, and all the Groomsmen on the other, or mix it up boy/girl and have them sit by who they walked down the isle with.

For individual tables, it depends on who you have in your family.  You want people to be comfortable with who they are sitting with.  You want them to have a good time, and have someone to talk to.

You could have a parents table, and have your Mom and Dad, plus your siblings or Grandparents, and his Mom and Dad and his siblings and Grandparents.  If this is too much at one table, then have a table of your family- Your Mom, Dad, Siblings, and Grandparents- then do the same for his.  

The rest of it is just putting together people who know each other.  It takes awhile, and you may have to re-do it once or twice.  Make sure everyone knows at least one other person at their table.  

Answer 3

I agree with Soon to be Mrs.C do a mix up

His Parents and Your Parents

Your cousin and his cousin .

Like a part of you're family with his. SO you can be one family . For friends i think you should mix them up  with his friend jus t a great way of letting everyone know everyone.

I don't think you should have a head table because that would kind of make you excluded from everyone you want to be involve  sit with his and your parents.

Answer 4

um both families and their family members

Answer 5

I think you should mix your family and his. Remember, it's 2 families becoming one. Sit your parents and his parents at one table. Your siblings and his siblings at one table. And mix everyone up! Great conversations arise that way and it shows the union of two families.
