Even in friendly social situations, I don't always interact with the person I'm next to or two seats beside me. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-the-seating-chart#post-2774797 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 18:33:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2774797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all for the suggestions! I am too close to this to come up with a plan. I know whichever grandma doesn't get to sit next to LO will fill slighted, but there's just so many corner seats and DH is great with him during dinner time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-the-seating-chart#post-2774777 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 16:12:37 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2774777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My suggestion would be to put MOM and DAD on the same side but on both ends, so they won't be able to look at each other easily. And then I would put the person that will talk the least in between those two so the majority of the talking will be across the table. Something like this<br /> .
