Top table dilemma...

[MissMoodyMoo]

So! At our top table I had planned to have my husband to be, my mum and dad(who are divorced) and maid of honour as well as his mum and his best man his dad has passed away so can't be with us on our day. But now there's a huge argument because I don't want his mum's new partner of less than a year sat at our top table! They are engaged to be married and I really do like her but I just don't think she warrants sitting at the top table? I wouldn't have one of my step parents sat up there so why should she be allowed to just to please his mum? Aka the monster in law 🙈🙄

So isn't that a top table? Or are people thinking that a top table is rectangular or raised or something?

No, ours was just a regular table in the middle of the room.

Most “top tables” I have seen at weddings are at one end of the room, with everyone sitting in a row and facing the other guests.

Is it really worth upsetting one side of the family over a seating plan?
It's such a trivial matter, you'll spend most of the meal circulating around your other guests.
