Return to article: How to Handle Family Tension at Your Wedding
on 9/15/2008 If you have divorced parents there can be a tussle over who sits at the head table. To avoid this have each couple host their own table. This diffuses the issue and makes them feel important. I would definitely recommend assigned seating in such a situation. I used http://www.perfecttableplan.com/ for my wedding seating and it was great.
on 11/6/2007 It is your wedding...remember that!
on 11/22/2005 Do not send rehearsal dinner invitations to out-of-state guests 6 weeks before the wedding, when you have ONLY invited them to the wedding and post wedding brunch 10 months prior.
on 11/22/2005 Remind family members that this is your day, not theirs. i finally had to tell my mom that if she couldn't deal with my dad for a few hours for my sake then i'd rather she not come at all. that got the message accross pretty fast
on 11/22/2005 Split the aisle in two. Have one father present you and the other give you away. Ask both for their opinions. Then decide which father does what. This worked great at my wedding.
