Top Ten Tips for Singles at a Wedding
Lavalife, the online dating source, has partnered with vivacious wedding expert Hayley East to offer singles the essential tools for being single in the sea of holy matrimony.
- Be seen. Make yourself helpful. Volunteer to help seat guests, set place cards or help the grandparents or children get to where they need to be.
- Set you sights early. Scope out the handsome men and women at the rehearsal dinner or the ceremony. Make eye contact and make your move at the reception.
- Work the cocktail hour. Be brave and introduce yourself to everyone, even the couples. You never know who has a single friend, cousin, boss, etc.
- Dance! Find another single person, a crazy aunt or uncle and show your moves on the dance floor.
- Shine. Glow. Have a smile on your face. Clap after the speeches. The happier you act, the happier you feel and everyone will notice.
- Work the room. Compliment a stranger on her shoes or his tux. Strike up a conversation on how you know the bride or groom. Tell a funny story about you and the bride or groom.
- Dress to impress. Get rid of the theory that you are saving that pair of Christian Louboutins for a special occasion. This is a special occasion! Put on your best dress, shoes, tux, and jewelry. (Ladies, find out the color of the bridesmaids gowns and wear an entirely different color. You do not want to blend.)
- Chat up the maid of honor, the best man and the wedding party. They undoubtedly know all of the guests and can point you in the direction of the single hotties.
- Bring your camera. What better way to strike up a conversation than to say, “Who is ready for a picture?” Plus, the bride and groom will be grateful to see the pictures immediately instead of having to wait for proofs from their wedding photographer.
- Mind your manners. Don’t hit on any married men or women. Don’t knock over other guests or furniture when trying to catch the bouquet or garter. Don’t get so drunk that you make a scene.
