Okay so mine and my FH's parents are divorced. Everyone has remarried except his mom, she is living with someone though (but that was fairly recent). I was planning making boutonnieres for all the dad's and was going to make one for his mom's boyfriend. On the programs we are listing parents as "elite passengers" (travel theme and all). If the situation is the same when it comes time to make the programs do I also put him on the program also?

Also when it comes to seating, we really only have 4 guest tables (10 people each) and we don't want to have each set of parents at separate tables, so is there a more traditional way or do we arrange by with couples we think will get along better? Or do we put all 8 of them at a table and hope for the best?

Are they mature enough to get along?? I guess it would totally depend of if they can be in each others presense without making a scene.

At my daughter's wedding, all the parents sat together...but we have always gotten along. Her Dad and I are divorced. Her DH's parents are still married. Her Dad even sat in our pew at the church. His wife was playing the organ. It just worked out for the best and we are mature enough to have wanted what was best for our child.

I hope that his the situation that you have.

I think so, but you never really know. We might just have to ask them. I don't think my family would openly argue, but my parents haven't had to talk to each other in years.
