<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs the married couple, you have invited guests to share this special day with you. You are the hosts of the event, and being hosts comes with responsibilities. One of them is ensuring you are being sociable with everyone at your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social Butterflies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow, this may seem like a rather trivial topic, but you would be surprised how difficult it is getting around to seeing everyone at your wedding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Particularly if you have invited a large number of friends and family to your wedding, you don\u2019t want people going home thinking you\u2019ve ignored them the whole day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Socialising](\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/Socialising-at-weddings\/linus-moran.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOf course, don\u2019t put pressure on yourself if you feel overwhelmed by the thought of interacting with every guest but at least show them that you are making an effort, no matter how small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Basics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOne of your most important roles as bride and groom, besides having fun and enjoying the day, is to welcome and talk with every single guest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those individual guests you don\u2019t know especially well, or those who have travelled a considerable distance to be there, should actually be a priority, as they will really appreciate the time you give to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Socialising](\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/Socialising-at-weddings\/rafe-abrook.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou should also try not to have all your socialising time monopolised by your immediate family and close friends. They see you regularly after all and you\u2019ll probably spend time with them immediately after your honeymoon anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are not suggesting you avoid them, merely that you don\u2019t spend your entire day with your best friends glued to your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Socialise At The Drinks Reception<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe drinks reception usually takes place shortly after the conclusion of your marriage ceremony. It\u2019s an ideal opportunity for you to talk to a large number of your guests, and many people will approach you anyway with their congratulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides some potential wedding photography distractions, this is a relatively event-free period in comparison to the reception ahead, so make your rounds and chatter away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Socialising](\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/Socialising-at-weddings\/Real-Simple.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis will be the first chance you have to see your guests as there is normally no time before the ceremony. It is an opportune moment to catch up with long lost friends, work colleagues, and family members you haven\u2019t seen in a while!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guest introductions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA time-saving way to interact with many guests at once is to introduce them to each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If they will be sitting on the same table or if you think they will get along, introducing guests and family members sparks conversation with different groups of people which essentially enables you to chat to twice as many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/Socialising-at-weddings\/rockrose-photography.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you had a little matchmaking to do, this is also the opportune moment to introduce and get that little spark going!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Receiving Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA receiving line is an old wedding tradition where guests line up and greet the newly married couple before the wedding breakfast or reception. The couple often stands at the entrance to \u2018welcome\u2019 each guest before they make their way to their seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This may sound a little old fashioned and a big of a drag but it\u2019s the perfect chance to ensure you speak to every single one of your guests and make them feel involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also gives them a chance to pass on their congratulations, if they have not had the chance during your drink\u2019s reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is definitely something to consider if you have a busy wedding day planned out as you may not get another chance to speak to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visit Tables Between Courses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWedding planner Kate Park<\/a> suggests couples should<\/p>\n\n\n\n” Take time between courses to interact with guests as it’s a better way to take off pressure during the drinks reception…One of my couples decided to scrap the top table and had a small table just for the two of them. This worked well as both of them could interact with guests between courses without feeling they were leaving people on their own on the table.<\/em> “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nBetween your starter and main course, and again before desserts, you should leave the top table and visit a number of your tables to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves and the food. This is the perfect way to make guests feel that you care and also a great chance for you to gather up reviews on the food and service you\u2019ve spent money on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Socialising](\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/Socialising-at-weddings\/Pip-and-Simon-Photography.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve visited all of the tables before the whole meal is up, then you\u2019ve done a great job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, be aware that your catering staff probably won\u2019t start serving the next course until you are once more seated, so don\u2019t spend too long doing this. You may end up annoying hungry guests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wedding Games and Activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHaving an all-inclusive wedding game is the perfect way for your guests to feel like they have interacted with you. Plus, it is a great icebreaker for guests who may not know one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wedding Shoe Game<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
This could include the Wedding Shoe Game where the bride and groom are seated in chairs back to back and remove their shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before the game starts, ask guests to think of a humorous question you want they want to ask you i.e who has more clothes, who spends the most money etc. Then during the game these are read out and they lift either their shoe or their partners shoe as to who is the clothes horse or who is more of a spendthrift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only does this make guests feel more involved with the wedding, but it is also an extra form of entertainment and certainly one guests<\/g> won\u2019t forget in a hurry!<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuiz<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If you are a particularly confident couple and don\u2019t mind oversharing information about yourselves with your friends and family, creating a \u2018How well do you know the bride and groom quiz<\/a>\u2019 will ensure every single guest is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"socialising](\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/Socialising-at-weddings\/Paul-Keppel-Photography-003.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSet this quiz up after the speeches and get either the best man or maid of honour to be the quiz master. It\u2019ll be a hilarious way to interact with guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wedding Favours<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGetting personalised wedding favours made is the perfect way to make your guests feel like you have thought of them before and during your big day. You could go around each table to hand these out which means that you get to talk to each guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Immediate Family<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the perfect way to make guests feel that you care and also a great chance for you to gather up reviews on the food and service you\u2019ve spent money on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve visited all of the tables before the whole meal is up, then you\u2019ve done a great job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, be aware that your catering staff probably won\u2019t start serving the next course until you are once more seated, so don\u2019t spend too long doing this. You may end up annoying hungry guests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having an all-inclusive wedding game is the perfect way for your guests to feel like they have interacted with you. Plus, it is a great icebreaker for guests who may not know one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This could include the Wedding Shoe Game where the bride and groom are seated in chairs back to back and remove their shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before the game starts, ask guests to think of a humorous question you want they want to ask you i.e who has more clothes, who spends the most money etc. Then during the game these are read out and they lift either their shoe or their partners shoe as to who is the clothes horse or who is more of a spendthrift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only does this make guests feel more involved with the wedding, but it is also an extra form of entertainment and certainly one If you are a particularly confident couple and don\u2019t mind oversharing information about yourselves with your friends and family, creating a \u2018How well do you know the bride and groom quiz<\/a>\u2019 will ensure every single guest is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Set this quiz up after the speeches and get either the best man or maid of honour to be the quiz master. It\u2019ll be a hilarious way to interact with guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting personalised wedding favours made is the perfect way to make your guests feel like you have thought of them before and during your big day. You could go around each table to hand these out which means that you get to talk to each guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWedding Games and Activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
