- Parents, grandparents, and siblings usually sit in the first row.
- If parents are divorced and both will be attending, the mother (and husband) might sit in the first row and the father (and wife) in the second row. If there is animosity, you might separate them by a few rows.
- Other family members (aunts, uncles, cousins) sit behind immediate family.
SEATING OF SPECIAL GUESTS
- In a military wedding, you must consider rang of guests in specifying seating areas.
- Guests in wheelchairs or other physical challenges may require special seating.
- Families of members of the wedding party may need special seating, especially if they are parents of children involved in the wedding.
- Special guests such as godparents may have special seating and be involved in the ceremony by receiving flowers.
- Prepare a chart for special seating and make sure that the ushers have it prior to the ceremony so that people will be escorted to their proper seats.
USHERS
- An usher offers his right arm to a female guest when escorting her to a seat.
- If there is an imbalance in invitees (more from one family than another), it is proper to "even out" seating instead of insisting that all bride's guests go on one side and groom's guests on the other. Also many times guests are friends of the couple and could easily fit in on either side of the facility.
