Reception... guest etiquette

View Quoted Comment Where are you getting this from? The OP said that she was “spaced out” and you’re acting like she was offering people drugs. They also left 30 minutes before the end of the reception, which is when things are usually winding down anyway. I would love if my friends and family were having so much fun that they decided to go continue to celebrating after my wedding. It seems that you have some really high expectations for your guests. They must stay until the very end of the reception and find you to tell you goodbye. You may want to communicate these expectations in advance so you’re not disappointed.

View Quoted Comment ....again... that’s not AT ALL what I’m saying. If people want to leave 10 minutes into my wedding that’s fine. If people leave without saying goodbye that’s totally fine. That’s not really the case here though. What else does showing up all spaced out mean? Its hard to believe that you’d honestly be okay with someone rounding up a bunch of your new drunk family members to go someplace better on your wedding day.

View Quoted Comment It’s obvious that you’re trying to make the situation sound worse than it was. No one said she was high, no one said “someplace better.” It’s EXTREMELY common for people to leave a wedding and continue to celebrate somewhere else. You’re comparing apples to oranges. Bars and weddings aren’t the same thing, neither has to be better or worse.

View Quoted Comment Lol So you’re okay with your family thinking a night out at the bar is the same as your wedding day??

View Quoted Comment Its extremely common for people to leave after the wedding usually with the bridal party and or bng, hence after party to continue to celebrate. Not leave during the wedding to go party elsewhere lol
