I am a Bridezilla and my confession is....

not sure anyone minds that sitation, where you are sat with people you know. Its more where you are sat with people you do not know. In that case, they ought to sit the couple together. Same reason for inviting a plus one for people who won't know anyone else bar the bride and groom. Its about making it a nice day for your guests as far as possible.

Surely the point of a seating plan is to seat people sensibly so assuming the plus one is one of a reasonable length relationship -so actually knows the bride and groom and by extension at least some of their friends and or family-why would they have to sit with strangers ?

I think I just find it very odd that if someone is close enough to the bride or groom to be best man or MOH or bridesmaid that their partner has never socialised ever with them and by extension their friends.

Although I totally understand that there is no set itinary as to how a wedding day should go..I've been to six weddings over the last two years alone (some very posh and expensive and some not as much), and I have never been to a wedding where a room was completley swapped around between a day and evening reception, so as far an entire room change being a common occurance..it's not. Four of the six weddings I have been to recently had no evening guests..as in all guests were 'all dayers'.

Well you obviously attend very different weddings to me. At the weddings we go to, after the breakfast we tend to socialise with the other guests rather than sit at the table assigned for the meal but I appreciate all weddings are different.

The rooms that do get moved around are generally to allow more room for movement for guests to socialise, get to the bar or the dance floor as sometimes it can be difficult to move around a dining room plus generally a table has to be set up for a buffet or similar.

I'm a bridezilla cos I was relatively calm about my small, no frills wedding until I saw THE dress and finally understood what finding THE dress was all about. I cannot afford THE dress but I flatly refuse to think about anything else!!

Gosh I don't think thats Bridezilla at all, all that would wind me up on a normal day.

Say the best man does bring a female friend (or if he gets a girlfriend by then) with him, will you be seating them together at your top table? - as you can't really split up a couple up at a wedding, but then again, you wouldn't want a stranger up at top table. OMG i would be fuming.

And your friends booking a holiday deliberately for the day before your wedding, TBH if it was me, I would be wondering exactly what kind of message they were trying to send, as that is a bit of a 'F you' to you and your OH isnt it

We had our best mans girlfriend sitting at the top table with us. They have been together for about 4 years so I wouldn't dream of sitting them apart.

If it was a new squeeze then yes I would split them up but sit them with people they know (if possible) so they have people to talk to.

I agree, i have been to 3 weddings now where the best man and his girlfriend have been seperate. It didn't matter at all, after the meal and speeches they can sit together again anyway!

Isn't it?! Just HAVE to have it. My fiance thinks I'm like a woman posessed, keeps asking where the calm, peaceful woman he wanted to marry has gone lol

Saveitandsee could you see if any stores local to you had it as a sample available for purchase? You can usually get a fair bit off the price by buying the sample.
