So I had this wedding nightmare a while back where I walked down the aisle and all of my FH's side was full and I had 2 rows filled ( Read more... )

Don't separate the seating by sides of the family, if you are worried about that. We're not. Just have the guests seated from the front working backwards, and everyone will be mixed.

My thoughts exactly. We're not having a bride and groom side, people just pick seats (though the first row or 2 will be reserved for the close family).

We're doing that same thing. My FH has a tiny family (a mom, a sister, and that's it) and I have a huge family. Plus there's all of our friends, who we are friends with equally and wouldn't be able to pick a "side." Everyone can just sit wherever they want!

it's actually really typical for people to not send in RSVPs. when my friend got married, she still hadn't received over half of them about two or three weeks before the wedding so she had to start calling people.

I know....and we have started calling. That's how I found out my whole family can't come. :(

I hope this doesnt come off as rude..but.. such is life... really.

The only REALLY important thing is that you're getting married to the man of your dreams, right?

My husbands family only lives 6-8 hours away, none of them came... it didnt matter, we still had an amazing wedding, and you will too.

I really wanted to be surrounded by my family on the big day though. I'm very close to my family. My FH is not very close with his. But I guess it's more about location.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry to hear about your family being poopy. Hopefully they will understand how important this is to you and make the effort to come.

If you end up with the rows really uneven, to hell with "bride side" and "groom side" - it's a wedding! It's the beginning of both families being mixed together, so mix them up! Let people sit wherever. :)
