Seating decorum?

[Hoya Lawya Bride]

Hi everyone,

Our venue has a large central room and then a large patio that we are tenting. The rooms are connected by four french doorways and the doors will remain open, so it's sort of like one large room with "posts" between the doors. In order to seat everyone for dinner, I think we will need to put tables on the patio under the tent, which means that about 30% of our guests will not be in the central room with the bridal party (but they will still be able to see and hear everything through the open french doors). Is this rude? Will people be offended or feel left out? Is there a good way to make everyone feel included?

Thanks!

I think it's okay as long as they are not in a separate area and are not excluded from what is going on inside. 30% is a larger number so it's not like it's just a few people who will feel like they got stuck at the kiddie table or something. ;)
Just make sure they're part of the action, that would be my feeling. And also, I noted in your other thread that it's going to be in September so I think it will be okay, make sure the temperature is comfortable, using heat lamps or whatever if need be. :)
