where would you sit the mother of the groom?

I think she does need to be in the front row. I would ask someone else to move back a row ie one of best men or even a sibling.

His mum should be on the front row with her husband.

One dad is mine and one is his because my dad isn't giving me away, my partner is having the 2 dads as ushers. She's signing the register for us as a witness and we have placed her on he aisle of 2nd row so has perfect view. We have 2 rows on each side reserved for family. I don't think she will be bothered but just wanted to ask what other people have done x

Could she go on the 'brides' side and one of your siblings go on second row? It would kind of work as both dad's are on his side, but I agree that it would look bad with her behind the main party... another option is having bridal parties stood to the side if the ceremony wouldn't be too long?

She needs to on the front with her husband. Unless your parents are separated they should be together. If they are then your Dad should be in the aisle seat 2nd row. Don't separate parents from each other during the ceremony as they won't be together for the breakfast.

I agree with the others. The grooms mum is no less important than your mum and the dads. Front row should be parents, followed my MOH and best man, bridesmaids and ushers and then only siblings if you have space.

Just think how you would feel if it's your son & you were put in the second row.

Could your son sit on someone's lap? I agree she needs to go on front row

Definitely on the front row. I think it may cause upset and a rift if you put her on the second row

Would it look silly putting her on my side beside my mum in the front row?

I know you said your dad is an usher but I don't understand why he can't sit on your side with your mum and leave the grooms mother to sit on his side with his dad.

There's no reason why your mum and dad and OH's mum and dad shouldn't sit on the respective sides all in the front row. I agree with what's been said before. It would look wrong and is pushing her out. your brother and sister wouldn't normally sit on the front row unless they have bridal party roles and your OH's sister isn't on the front row.

I agree with everyone else. I think you should have one of your siblings move to the second row and put your dad on your side so she can be in the front row. I think having her in the second row could be taken really badly, and not just by her.

I'd have to agree with everything that's been said above. I know everyone has different relationships with parents/in laws but I'm sat with my MIL now so I've asked her! She said she would be absolutely gutted if we put her on the second row especially if the other 3 parents are all front row

Yeah I think id have to agree as well. My partner hasnt got best relationship with his mum so he isn't bothered but I think both parents should be seen to at the front.

I've rearranged them all now so hope it works x

Absolutely agree 100% with the others - Mother of the Groom needs to be on the front row and I'd move the bridesmaids back as they are much less important than MOG. If it were my son, I'd be really upset especially if I hadn't been forewarned about it.

You need to have her on the front row, she's no less important than any other parent and to be honest I think you could cause great offence doing otherwise. It's quite insulting.
