When I got married I made the decision to avoid going around to all the guests and make sure they were happy/entertained etc. At the reception I basically stayed near the main table and just enjoyed the night. If people wanted to come and chat then they could.

Remembering that it was mine and my wife’s day took a real load off and helped with a lot of the pressure of the event.

Thank you for this. Exactly what I'm planning on doing. I'll just dance the night away basically.

I can’t recommend it enough. I spent our engagement party running around making sure everyone was having a good time, and didn’t enjoy it at all. Enough was enough. Hope you have a great time!
