Pedigree Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 My cousin's getting married in 2.5 weeks and we're gonna have a big reception where 500-600 people are gonna be there (can't remember for sure). Last time I was at a wedding reception, I was too young to remember and as a result, I am clueless as to what the etiquette should be. Don't want to be "that drunken cousin that ruined everything" but at the same time, I don't want to be so subdued that I belong at a funeral. Any help?
curiousnycgirl Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Just go have fun and if liquor makes you act loud and stupid, don't drink too much. Unless you are part of the wedding party there are no significant obligations - other than to not act a fool.
quankanne Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 do what you can to help make her special day enjoyable. No dancing on tables, but definitely encouraging others to get out on the dance floor or participate in the throwing of the bouquet/shooting of the garter. Invest in a couple of disposable cameras if she hasn't already done so, and hand them out to random people with the instruction to return them to you for developing (a nice gift, BTW, getting casual shots from different viewpoints). basically, have fun responsibly and let her know what a blast her wedding reception was.
Author Pedigree Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Ok, thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

Well that should be pretty easy.. just control yourself.. don't drink too much.. easy and simple.
