You are making this harder than it has to be. Quite simply put all parents at family tables surrounding the head table where your bridal attendants and yourself are seated. It's wonderful that you want to honor your parents by making them a part of the head table but they would be more comfortable with other close family at a separate table. Or you could simply do a "Sweetheart" table for only yourself and your groom. That way your attendants can be placed at table with their partners.

Absolutely agree. You could also simply have a parent's table. All of the parents will be together in the future at certain events and now would be a perfect time to establish a good relationship.
Thank you Rebecca and Nancy for your replies - I guess that I failed to mention that my future father in law insists that he sit at the Head Table. I suppose you can't please everyone - he will be surprised come the day of the wedding.
That is unfortunate. Hopefully when he sees that all of the parents or the families are sitting together, he will be all right with it. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
