Have you ever been to a wedding that was so boring you swore you would never attend another, even your own? Have you been to more than one of these monotonous, clone-like weddings? Let's face it, there is only so much you can do with wedding favors and place card holders.
One placecard holder pyramid is enough for one lifetime.
If you have been in this situation and have just been invited to yet another boring wedding and reception, here are a few things that you can do to either liven up the party or ensure that you are never, ever invited to another.
Become an amateur videographer.
Bring your own video camera and shoot the wedding the way you would like it to be.
You can start by hanging around the open bar and watch for those guests who are frequenting the booze.
If you follow that person long enough, you are bound to get some laughs.
You can also check out all the pretty girls (or handsome guys) without getting your face slapped or given the cold shoulder.
When you get home, edit the video, and set it to music, just for kicks.
You never know, the finished product just might turn out to be pretty darn good.
Before your throw on that same old jacket and head out the door, drop it off at the tailor and have the entire inside of it lined with secret pockets.
Then have it let out so that there is plenty of room.
Hit the wedding reception buffet three or four times, then go home, and stock your refrigerator.
If you are lucky, the food will be pretty good and you will not have to shop for a month.
Hopefully, the wedding will be located near your home so that you can make more than one trip.
Weddings are a great place to hook up with friends and relatives with whom you have lost contact or just have not seen in a while.
It is also a great place to meet new people.
You know that almost everyone will be on their best behavior when you meet them at a wedding.
If you are the shy type that does not like big crowds, wedding are a great place to try to conquer those fears.
You will not see most of the people at a wedding very often so get in there and mingle a little bit.
You never know, you may just meet the next mister or missus you.
If you do not like weddings or if you get bored easily, check out the kids table.
Remember when you were young and bored.
Back then, we could always find something to do to amuse ourselves.
So go and see what the kids are up to; chances are, they have figured out some kind of game to pass the time.
Take notes about the weddings that you attend so that when it comes time to plan your own wedding; you will have a pretty good idea of what you liked and what you did not like.
A wedding planner will attend hundred of weddings over a career and that is why a good wedding planner is worth their weight in gold.
By checking out what works for others, you can plan a spectacular wedding and be assured that your wedding and reception will not be the same wedding that is played out all over again.
