Imagine sending out a wedding invitation with a survey, perhaps it would make seating arrangement easier?

In some families, even before the “I DO’S” are said there seems to be problems as to where to seat family members at the church, at the reception, who gets a freaking limo, and the list goes on.
Imagine sending out your wedding invitation with a Sitting Survey. Something that looked like this, I am sure it could solve a lot of problem; or create new ones!

After the normal wedding invitation there is an extra slip and it says:
It appears that not all of us can get alone, I wish to make my day as enjoyable as possible without causing anyone any discomfort, or stress; so upon returning your response the Groom and I would greatly appreciate if you could answer a few questions:
- I would like to sit in the quiet section?
- I would like to sit in the gossip section?
- Is there anyone you do not want to be seated with?
- Does your seat need to be up front or would you prefer a seat where you can catch up on some sleep?
- Are you able to sit civilized with my in-laws?
- Are you able to sit civilized with your in-laws:
- Are you able to sit civilized with my or your Ex-in-laws?
Regarding seating and those you will be conversing with, which topics are you more comfortable with?
- Stock Market
- Gossip
- Sports
- Ache/Pains and or Physicians
- Pregnancy, and Labor
- Babies
- Husband bashing

How about Professionals, which do you, prefer to sit with?
- Lawyers
- Accounts
- Beauticians
- Stockbroker
- Physicians
I know this may seem different than the usual request, but I am very tired of hearing who is not talking to which aunt, and which cousin just talks too much. I truly appreciate you understanding
Lovingly, The Bride and Groom

Your so right, I remember my daughters wedding, as we had estranged family that attended, but the others had “others” with them, it made it very confusing where to seat everyone.
