Topic: Random things to do at a Wedding Reception. | |
---|---|
Ok, so I have to go to this wedding party today. I don't know about the rest of you, but since my divorce they aren't my favorite thing to attend. Most people are coming with their significant others and I'm going solo. A friend suggested if I start feeling awkward just do something random.
What random things do you suggest I do??? quick detail- it's my mom who got re-married, so it would have to be a "tame" random......... |

Getting drunk and falling face-first into the cake is one of my favorites but if that isn't tame enough then toast the happy couple but call the groom by the wrong name...preferably your real dad's or one of your mom's ex-boyfriends.

I've had to go to weddings and receptions as a single person and with mostly people I did not KNOW!! Grin and bear it, be gracious, get social. Do NOT do anything random; do NOT call attention away from the bride and groom. Behave.

HA! My real dad is dead so I better not try that one....although he'd probably laugh at me from up above. And you just gave me a thought.....I stood up for her at the actual wedding (the party came 3 weeks later, today) so I may be expected to give a speech!! YIKES! Now I am really not wanting to go! |

Dancing with the caterer isn't a bad suggestion.....hehe.
We already tease the 67 year old groom about being daddy.. |

Pee in the punchbowl? I knew you guys would come up with some doozies! |

Like I said, it will be tame, but I'm not above stirring things up a bit just to ease my pain. They won't mind, they have both been married before. KIDDING! |

Recite the Declaration of Independence using a sarcastic tone.

Little sidenote: the grooms kids (grown like me) are not fun or very into us all becoming on big happy family. I tried to make jokes at the actual wedding to lighten the mood which fell very flat. Maybe my random act can include them!!!

My friend suggested over the telephone to wrap condoms anonymously for the happy Golden Buckeye couple....but because of the mixed company I don't have the heart to do it. The groom would think it's hilarious but his kids would probably shrink in mortification.

|
Bring a midget with you, and proclaim that he is your new boy toy. You two can do the macarena, get toasted, and once it is time to toast the bride and groom...ahhhhhh, I am sure you will come up with something grand to say.

show up wearing biker chaps and a thong
|
|
|
|
Flirt with your single new cousins from the groom's side.
Find one of the new female cousins from groom's side and get the dirty about that side of the family (after a few shots of course). Drag people out of the dance floor! Have fun and congrads to your mom! |

Where does one get a midget on such short notice? show up wearing biker chaps and a thong In the same token, where does a big girl get a thong on such short notice? |
