Be a dream hostess
Filed under Uncategorized by donna roberson at 10:34 pm
I’m finding that there’s lots of stuff I’m expected to do on my wedding day besides show up and get married. Most of this information comes from my mom, who really could give Emily Post a run for her money. She’s certainly giving me a run for mine.
One of these things brides are expected to do on their wedding day is play the perfect hostess. Whether you’re comfortable in social situations or this is the first time you’ve been allowed out on furlough, guests are expecting you too look like you’ve got your act together. A bit unfair? Maybe. What’s even worse is one of my friends who recently got married told me that it’s only the bride that’s held to such lofty expectations. The groom gets away scott-free.
Anyway, there’s a great article from a local news station in New York, with a bunch of tips to help you polish your hostessing skills. A few things are common sense; a few things I wouldn’t have thought of.
Some tips
- See everyone at your wedding for a little bit. Either have a receiving line or go table to table.
- Use parents and close friends as deputy hosts. Let them help you make sure appetizers are circulated evenly and everyone is comfortable.
- Play a wide variety of music.
- Keep your wedding on schedule so guests don’t have to wait around.
