您的婚礼预算是不允许的plus-ones或者您有客人通过选择而在没有约会的情况下出席,您不需要任何您的单身朋友feeling singled out. Hosting an event that makes everyone feel included and comfortable will ensure that your solo guests have just as much fun as those who are paired up. Here are some great ways to make your big day a memorable one for all.
连接你的客人在婚礼之前
Try to ensure that there are some people your single friends know before the wedding. Pre-wedding celebrations are ideal opportunities for guests to meet before the big day. “Have a party at your home and invite close friends that might not be in the same circle, so there will be some familiarity at the wedding” says Anthony Navarro ofLiven It Up Events。Also, consider having a more casual rehearsal dinner forsingle members of your bridal partyto get to know everyone.
如果您有目的地婚礼,让您的单人们互相联系以便互相联系以协调旅行安排。“如果你有很多单打,请询问你的婚礼计划帮助你想出一份通过电子邮件或婚礼网站联系客人的计划,以便他们可以共享房间或骑行,”Michelle Rago说Michelle Rago目的地。“你的计划nner may also be able to create a dedicated email address so that guests can reach out to the planner’s team for any assistance.”
Make the Event Interactive
Making the wedding less traditional and more interactive is one of the best ways to make your single friends feel included. “Not drawing attention to the fact that they’re unattached will encourage guests to engage,” says Navarro. “For example, scratch the bouquet and garter toss. It可能会尴尬, let alone outdated, to have 'Single Ladies' playing while trying to fight for the bouquet.” Instead, set up fun activities to get guests to mingle. “One of our recent couples hosted a cocktail-making competition during their welcome party, complete with teams and a judging panel.Guests who didn’t participate gathered to watch and the winning cocktail was served at the reception dinner cocktail hour,” says Rago.
For a wedding weekend, arrange meeting spots where guests can congregate during downtime. “We always have a DJ on hand at all of our destination weddings to make sure we can create a pop-up party or add background music to a beach day,” says Rago.
田间日和草坪婚礼游戏都是愤怒。“我们在婚礼前一天看到了更多的新娘计划团队游戏,这让单个朋友们可以在乐趣中满足和迎接其他客人,尽管有时竞争,环境,”林恩·伊斯顿说Easton Events。And don’t forget a cool after-party with inviting elements, such as a cocktail bar camper, boho tent seating area, food truck, or selfie照片展台。
Have a Thoughtful Seating Plan
为仪式开放座位是启动事物的好方法,接待处的战略座位计划将使客人能够相互了解。“不要把你的单身朋友留到一个由他们从未见过的单身人士组成的桌子,”艾米尼科尔斯说艾米尼科尔斯特别活动和Thumbtack Pro。Whether you serve the dinner plated or from unique food stations, seat single friends with others they may know or have heard about. “If you have a single friend from college, seat her with other friends she knows from school, regardless of whether those friends are also married or part of a couple,” says Nichols.
Include a Conversation Starter
Fun details in your table decor or surprising entertainment can get guests talking. “For one wedding where the bride’s and groom's sides didn't really know each other, we designed custom 'fun fact' cocktail napkins,” says Michelle Cousins of Michelle Leo Events. “There were three different style napkins, each including an interesting fact about the bride and groom, and they inspired guests to interact and share stories.” Live entertainment or music—such as steel drum players, samba dancers, or a mariachi band—can also be good icebreakers and get wallflowers out on the dance floor and socializing with other guests.
服务家庭风格
供应晚餐家庭风格将通过盘旋和拼盘创造一个社区感,而且它让您可以使用菜单和表格装饰获得创意。“这种用餐风格非常适合与其他客人打破冰,并开始对话,希望能够带来乐趣的庆祝之夜,”堂兄弟说。和王的桌子座位有16人或更多人允许单打与其他客人轻松连接。“更大的,更多的公共表可以让客人感觉比坐在八个六个桌子上的内容更加困难,在那里它可能更难以与大家交谈,”施施事件的吉娜·杰基洛·斯卡尔科斯说。“桌子上的客人越多,随着晚餐的时间就越好转。”
设置别致的休息室
有趣的休息区是单身客人在轻松的环境中与您的其他朋友和家人聊天的好方法,或者逃离舞池,但仍然是庆祝活动的一部分。“建立一些不同的休息区,如果空间许可,是一个很好的触感,”Sunna Yassin说b。“将一个休息室放在舞池附近,另一个休息室在酒吧和一个安静的区域之间。您还可以为客人提供甜点休息室,以便在非正式环境中享用婚礼蛋糕和其他甜点。“
