    I think I may have conquered our seating chart......after the 4th try! - and 5 total hours!

    I started off by grouping together people who would like to sit together.  Then broke it down and rearranged a little bit to make it more feasible.  We are doing a head table but everyone is allowed to sit with their spouses/SOs/guests and we won't be facing everyone - it will be one long table w/ seating on every side.

    I'm 90% happy with it - but gave a list to my mother to see what she can work out - sometimes it better to have a fresh perspective.

    How stressful was the seating chart for everyone else?

    I had it conquered. So I thought :( Give it to FMIL for review and she changed all but 4 of the 19 tables. Including rearranging tables that only had my guests sitting at them. So now I have to have FI send it back with me revising most of the tables back to their original configuration.

    There were 3 out of 19 tables that I asked her not to change, she changed every single one ... so unfortunately, whether she likes it or not, I'll be fighting tooth and nail to have those tables go back to the way I had them when I sent her the list.

    @awakemysoul:  I am so glad the FIs family only takes up 3 out of the 16 tables!!  There are exactly 30 of his family members coming so they fit perfectly in 3 tables!!  FMIL won't be looking at the seating chart - but she is fabulous lady so she would never change it on me!

    The seating chart was awful! First I did it, then hubby did it, then I redid it. And then I decided I didn't care if people weren't happy where they sat, I couldn't help it!

    Congrats on getting it done!

    Hahhahahahahaa or maybe it should be..... AGGHHHHHHHHH?

    I had the whole seating chart figured out and then......

    3 more people decided to RSVP "Yes" 2 weeks later

    AND

    We met w/ the venue coordinator and she tells us that the max per table is 9 -- ummm you told us 10 originally.

    Now I have to do the whole damn thing over again!!!!!

    I jinxed myself
