who sits with who?

Can really advise as I am having the same dilemma. Couple of h2b's friends who are partial to a drink or 7 and tend to get a bit loud. Dont have a clue what to do with them so will read with interest!

Hi, I think that you can either have a table (near the back!) of the more "vocal" wedding guests or you can mix them in on your other tables and hope that when you do this they will become more watered down! Sitting them in pairs on a table can spell disaster! Been to a couple of weddings where this happened and they just seemed to egg each other on and compete with each other! At least if they are all on the back table, they should be far enough away to be less noticeable. Hope that helps.

See, my friend isnt a loud drunk or anything like that, its just that she says what she thinks when its not really appropriate. Her kids a re a flippin nightmare too. Im worried that she will allow her kids to get away with things too - i spose that is my main concern.

I'm trying to group people with those I think they'll get on with regardless of which family/friend group they're from, and only assigning tables, not specific seats. So we have a particularly conservative table and a particularly rowdy table and then a spectrum in between! Trying to put people with kids on a table with other people with kids. i.e. if you don't have kids of your own you won't have kids at your table... Not doing too badly so far but only have about half the RSVPs as yet.. Not got a top table either - We have a table of me and H2B with CBM, best man and their partners - trying to get parents onto one table will simply spell disaster!

Maybe a 'kids table' at the back out of the way rather than a rowdy table at the back out of the way for you then!
