Step 1: restore the trusted source
The couple and planner need explicit notes on who needs buffer space, who can bridge tables, and which combinations should never be tested live. Recovery should begin by identifying what still counts as true and what no longer does.
Step 2: fix the highest-risk visible layer
The best answer is rarely perfect symmetry; it is a placement logic that reduces public friction and supports the relationships the couple wants to honor. Prioritize the part of the issue that guests, vendors, or floor teams will encounter first.
Step 3: reissue the corrected version
A strong blended-family plan feels respectful, stable, and intentionally moderated even when private history behind it is complicated. Recovery is incomplete until the updated instructions replace the old ones everywhere that matters.
