If you are the one who does not get along with them, how is sitting the two of them together going to make them see they shouldn’t argue? And, why are they invited anyways? If it is your party, I would count them out if at all possible. If they show up and start anything , I would tell them that you are not tolerating it and ask them to leave. Why damper the party mood? Good Luck

The only thing you’re going to get by putting them next to each other is WW!!!. So do yourself and everyone around them a favor, and seat them at opposite ends of the table or don’t invite them.

No definitely do NOT put them next to each other. What the heck kind of host are you if you think watching two people fight is appropriate entertainment. It’s just going to make everyone uncomfortable.

Sit someone inbetween them unless you want the evening gala to be a four fisted fight… heehee. Your guests should respect that this is your party and behave themselves…
Not everyone likes everyone else… don’t push the buttons here kiddo.. hahahhaa

If you want your party ruined, go ahead and put these two in close proximity to each other. I don’t know why you would want to invite two people to a party that don’t get along.

No. As host, it is your duty to see that your guests have a good time. You obviously know that these two do not get along. To seat them near each other is not only flirting with disaster, it’s unkind and humiliating. Seat them as far apart as you can and try to draw them into the conversation. But don’t expect them to come out best friends. Leave it alone. That is up to them.

Don’t do it, it is not the time or place for them to solve their problems, try to keep them apart and that they both have someone to talk to.

Nope, you’re wrong already. The first rule for a party of any sort is to select a compatible guest list. Do not invite people who don’t like each other. The other guests will be uncomfortable, and nobody will have a good time.
People love my parties – macaroni & cheese is the best I cook, but my guests go home smiling because I choose the list carefully & respectfully.
