Is it rude to spilt a couple up at a reception without telling them and leaving one of them sat a table with five strangers.

It does depend on relationship to bride or groom, top table or family together.

Neither are rude or offensive.

If you're both just friends of, and going as a couple, then it's a bit odd yes.

This happened to me - my husband refused to sit separately and they reluctantly moved me next to him!

Hi X any chance me and Xxx can sit together as she doesn’t really know anyone on that table - I’m happy to sit there with her - thanks

Depends. Is one in the wedding party and therefore sitting on the main table

I don't know if rude is the right word.

But it's really quite an unpleasant thing to do.
It will quite possibly ruin the occasion for both of the couple and the one having to sit with strangers could be in for a very uncomfortable time.
