Fiancé & I can't agree on two things - help us decide!
EDIT: Seating now discussed and sorted - thanks everyone!
- We're having a buffet. I say we still need enough seats and tables for every person to sit down and eat, and also to sit for the speeches (which are before the food comes out). He says we don't, and most people will opt to stand & chat with their buffet food and most can stand for speeches. It's a small venue so the tables then have to be moved to make room for dancing - I don't think this is an issue, venue do this regularly and most people will go outside for a stretch and wander outside after speeches & food.
So Reddit, do you vote seats for everyone or no? EDIT: We'll be having all the seating 😁
- Kids. He says no kids except our three and my friend's breastfeeding baby. I say yes to kids because the people who would find it hard to come without their kids are REALLY important to us (including my maid of honour). There would be 5 kids plus our 3 & the baby. But of those 5, 4 are not very well behaved.
We have my niece and nephew who are not well behaved because they're so young (2 and 3) but we are really close to them and see them 3-4x a month and FaceTime often too. We have his niece and nephew who he isn't close to and I've only met the nephew. They're slightly older but not well behaved. Nephew's mum is a single mum who lives 400 miles away, she would have nobody to leave him with! And then final kid is my MOH's son who is an absolute ANGEL. She's made it really clear it would make it really difficult for her if he can't come, but if he comes it's unfair that my niece and nephew can't! It's already unfair that the baby is there if they aren't.. but explainable.
So Reddit, should we invite all the kids, invite no kids, or just allow the nice kid and look like assholes for not allowing the naughty kids?
