Advice re top table/singles

Steelgoddess, 24 March, 2010 at 10:23 Posted on Planning 0 7

Just wanted some advice. The best man would like to invite his gf to our wedding which is no problem however I've never met her and the top table was just going to be myself h2b, best man (h2b's brother) and my bm...

What should I do about seating the gf?

The other question is my sister is single, she isnt seeing anyone at the moment and I suggested she bring a guest but there is no one any suggestions? Im worried if shes o her tod she might feel a little bit lonely...

    My Bestmans wife and Bridesmaids husband will be seated with the rest of the guests and not at the top table.

    Could you do that with the BMs gf???

    Could you put her with some of the bestman's mates??

    I'm sitting our bridesmaids and some groomsmen on the top table with their wives/girlfirends otherwise they'd go with a group of mates in the same friend group.

    As for your sister, surely she's gonna know a fair few people? Relatives and friends etc? I woudn't worry too much.

    I've only got a few singles and they nkow other friends so they'll be sat with people they know. I only +1'd one guest as he wouldn't know anyone.

    The done thing is entirely up to you!! Go with what you want and what suits you ?

    I've ditched the top table idea as D's parents are divorced and re-married and there wouldn't be room for all. Is a bit of a shame for my folks but hey ho. I put my best mates on the table instead ?

    I'm not having our best man's gf on the top table - traditionally you don't - are there his mates coming along that you can plonk her with? For your sister if you're really worried could she invite a female friend? But presumably you've got other family there so I wouldn't worry too much!

    Agree about putting her with friends - maybe even ask the best man, as he's family, if that's ok and ask if there is anyone she knows who she would want to be sat with?x

    Our best man's wife is sitting on a normal table near the top table but with some outgoing family so there's no chance of her being lonely. My BM isn't on the top table as she's sat with her bf of 3 months as he doen't know anyone, she said she'd prefer to sit with him than on the top table. Have a talk with your best man n see what he thinks.
