Hey ladies (and gentleman), I've been having some major wedding anxiety the last few weeks and this is probably one of my biggest anxiety inducers:
How to avoid clinking glasses/guests making us kiss during dinner?
Everyone my FH talks to mentions how we aren't going to have time to eat at our wedding since guests are going to want to mingle/make us kiss. Every wedding I've been to (family/friends) I've noticed that the Bride and Groom have had time to eat, so now I'm worried that my FH's family are the ones that mingle/clink glasses during dinner.
I'm also the type of person who gets hangry, especially if I know I'm getting food, but there's a delay (traffic, cooking times, buffet lines, etc). My FH is very aware of this (lol) and I've mentioned I won't be having any large meals before the ceremony and I hope to sneak snacks between photos. That being said, I'm really going to be looking forward to dinner since our venue has amazing food to begin with, and it's expensive. I'm hoping that we get to mingle with most guests during parts of our cocktail hour, if photos are on schedule, and that most will let us eat and maybe visit between courses.
I also don't feel like putting time into coming up with kissing games/menus, since very few guests actually do them and I'm over kissing games TBH. However, I fear that if we don't have games, guests are just going to clink glasses, which is even worse! Our venue might have a clause in their contract that prohibits clinking glasses, but I might also tell guests this is the case regardless.
Has anyone not had kissing games and not allowed clinking glasses? Has anyone had any kissing games they really liked/did at their wedding? Is there a non-rude way to tell guests to let us eat in (somewhat) peace? We plan to hype people up with with a grand entrance, we're doing the shoe game, and have an excellent DJ!
