QUESTION 16 OF 27

How do you encourage natural social interaction among guests?

Some couples need guidance on how to encourage guests to mingle and interact with one another in an organic way. This can help alleviate the couple from facilitating interaction themselves or overly stressing about certain dynamics throughout the event. You might consider portions of the event when it is easier to integrate social interaction, such as having a buffet of food instead of bringing it straight to the table. Consider preparing a few areas in which you might implement greater interaction.

"My first response to this is always to suggest buffet-style eating. Guests naturally mix and mingle while they wait in line to collect their food, so it's a nice way to bring people together. I also encourage brief intermissions throughout the program in order to allow guests to go chat at the bar or congregate elsewhere. Often, wedding timelines are so full that guests rarely have time to really chat and mingle. Finding ways to build in these breaks and congregation areas alleviates that challenge."
