What should I do in a wedding with people I don't know?

Question

My boyfriend's brother is getting married in a month and I plan on going to the wedding but I won't really know anyone there. My boyfriend is also going to be a groomsman so he will be busy a lot. How should I approach other people or what should I do so I'm not sitting by myself because I don't know anyone?

Answer 1

Smile a lot, make small talk with the other guests.

Answer 2

Most likely your boyfriend will be with you most of the evening. I don't know the seating arrangements but if you're not eating together than after that you will most likely spend the rest of the evening together. Just be yourself ask your boyfriend to introduce you to some girl cousins or a family member that is more friendly before the wedding that way you will know someone there.

Answer 3

sit down with your bfs mom or family get to know them

Answer 4

Say hello to people.  Introduce yourself.  You don't have to hang on your boyfriend in order to have a good time at the party.

Answer 5

You will be fine...your guy will or should introduce you and make sure that you meet people.  YOu will be at a table so you will socialize with them to start. Talk about the food....or bring your camera and take pictures...that keeps your hands busy and you look busy...lol

Answer 6

hang around the bar and drink

Answer 7

Just go up and introduce yourself to people and let them know you are from the groom's side and then you can ask them who they are with, and let the converstion flow from there. Ask them how long they've known the person, what type of work they do, etc. You have a great conversation starter, so just be friendly and interested and you'll make lots of new aquaintances. It's fun to learn about new people. Enjoy yourself!

Answer 8

When you get there.. someone.. of the family should introduce you.. to other people.. even if it's an aunt of the family who is invited to the wedding.. you should ask some of the not so close relatives.. discuss this before the wedding..  ask your BF now to perhaps get to know some of the people who will be at the wedding if they are friends.. then you know a couple of people when you get there... someone should be a host or hostess at the wedding and always make sure that everybody is comfortable.. if you see anyone on their own you can walk up and start a casual conversation about the wedding.. or if you see a couple of people standing or sitting there and they don't talk a lot and there is a seat you can ask if you may sit there..and maybe you can initiate a casual conversation... just seem approachable and smile.. and if not hold on to that champagne or the glass of orange juice.. and just walk around and look at the decoration.. nodd to people .. smile back.. say hello if they are not in a discussion and introduce yourself to them.. then you will find a lot of people to talk to.. otherwise if there is really nobody there observe. or ask if you can be of any assistance unless they have caterers there to hand around snacks or drinks.. that is a good way to get into conversation with others.. ask the mother of the groom.. your BF's mom.. if there is anything you can do... or if she has a sister. an aunt.. she would be ideal as she won't have a lot of obligations..  the mother of the groom is always busy as well but if you smile and are approachable.. you will find people to talk to... xx
