I have found it meaningful to re-kindle connections with long-standing family friends who knew my parents "when". My father is close to 90 and few are left. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-go-to-a-wedding-reception-solo#post-1045099 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 22:27:42 +0000 annagybe 1045099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I found a friend who I can crash with. Saving me a hotel. So I'll go and represent my family.

Otherwise, I believe you have to bring your own entertainment to receptions.</p> <p>On the other hand, if they're really old important friends and you know a lot of the bridal party, I might go. It's not a marriage if people don't witness it and hold the bride and groom accountable! Hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-go-to-a-wedding-reception-solo#post-1043366 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:08:23 +0000 nancylee 1043366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would attend a wedding solo&nbsp;as long as (like Janet said) there were other people going that I already knew. &nbsp;But this wedding doesn't sound like the best use of your time, perhaps? &nbsp;Given that your dad can't go, and you've lost touch with them, and the other reasons you give you might want to pass and send a nice gift.</p> <p>If you go with mixed feelings and don't have a good time, you might feel resentful of the time and trouble. &nbsp;Then again, you might go and meet someone amazing. &nbsp;;)</p> <p>Tough call! &nbsp;Go with your gut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-go-to-a-wedding-reception-solo#post-1043340 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:36:09 +0000 MsMary 1043340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go and have gone to weddings and wedding receptions solo.</p> <p>This one, I'd probably pass if my dad couldn't go with me.</p> <p>(Whatever&nbsp;the two of you decide, make sure you give the hosts enough notice so you're not the dreaded no-shows!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-go-to-a-wedding-reception-solo#post-1043329 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:27:41 +0000 annagybe 1043329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should say the actual wedding was held previously elsewhere.

And I typically knew at least one or two other guests at the wedding that I could sit with and talk to. I probably would not want to go if I didn't know anyone else, especially in this case where it doesn't sound like you personally know the couple very well.&nbsp; But I am an introvert so this may not be true of everyone.</p> <p>On the other hand, weddings are supposedly a great place to meet future significant others....&nbsp; and I actually do know someone who met her future husband when they were both single at the same wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-go-to-a-wedding-reception-solo#post-1043326 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:25:33 +0000 Janet 1043326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've attended weddings solo in the past, but usually when there will be at least a few people there that I know and can easily talk to. Will this wedding be a chance to reconnect with people you wish to see? Or would you rather go to the Halloween party since your dad can't go to the wedding? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-go-to-a-wedding-reception-solo#post-1043309 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:09:45 +0000 annagybe 1043309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My father and I got invited to wedding reception for some old family friends that we really have lost contact with.<br /> My dad's ongoing dental work may prevent him from attending.<br /> This is a wedding reception/party at a winery in SE Washington. I would either need to get a hotel or see if I can stay with a friend near there. It is also the weekend before Halloween so I'd miss a Halloween party.<br /> It was important for my father, but now that he's a maybe....<br /> What do you think? </p>
