At least try showing some consideration for those who aren't even going to dance, but will be stuck sitting at the table for most, if not all, of the evening.
Yeah... I have a feeling that’s exactly how it’ll play out.☕
Daniel Smith8 said:I can't speak for how things are done out in the Midwest, but we handled it right after everyone hit the hall and before the first course even touched the table. It didn't eat up much time since the guest list wasn't huge, but we made a point to stop at every single table, checking in to see if everything was alright and giving them a few minutes of our time...
True enough... but we're looking at a crowd of 350 to 400 guests. 🤣
Thanks for all the input, everyone. That’s exactly why I’m asking. Look, I have no problem dropping by to see my grandma or an old uncle—that’s just common sense—but I really wouldn't want some guest to feel slighted or offended just because I didn't make a point to say hello to them. It seems like a lot of unnecessary drama to avoid.
I have a quick question—and please, tell me if I’m just overthinking this one, because I’d rather be certain than accidentally cause a scene. Is there some sort of unwritten rule where the younger crowd is expected to circulate through the reception, moving from table to table to personally greet the wedding party? I’ve noticed it happening more than once. It feels as though some guests might actually take offense if you don't make that formal effort to acknowledge them directly. I really wouldn't want anyone feeling slighted just because I wasn't aware of the etiquette.
