Are wedding receptions fun on your own?

[OhhBetty]

I've been invited to a friends wedding reception. I have no partner and it will be the first wedding I've been to alone. The last one I attended I had ds with me which was hard work as he was 18 months.
I will know about 4 othee guests but they will all be with their partners.
I love my friend and wouldn't miss it but I was just wondering if wedding receptions are fun when you're on your own! I feel a bit nervous for some reason! The other people I know will talk to me but since I split with ds's dad in August (he cheated) they seem a bit uncomfortable with me talking to their partners for some reason!
Thanks!

No shagging on the table or otherwise! You know I always thought the wife who froze me out was simply very possessive, Fidelia's point that he might have had a track record for flirting or more could have been the reason. As I lost touch with the B&G many years ago now I will never know.

It depends on the other guests I think. I've been to a few weddings on my own and hated it, but then I'm an introvert. I'm getting married soon and invited a couple of friends who are single. Their invitations all include a "plus one," as I didnt want anyone to feel awkward or left out. One is stil coming on her own and another is bringing her sister. I think it's good manners to allow this, unless of course there are restrictions on budget or space.

tinydancer88 Thank you, I wouldn't mind dancing with someone's grandad at all

TreeTop7 I was planning on going to the hen do but it's 200 quid! And that's without the cost of the meal and drinks and I just can't afford it. A few of us have asked if we could just go to the meal due to cost and childcare and the bridesmaid said she'll get back to us.

WhoKn0wsWhereTheTimeG0es whatever, bet you were all over the top table

I've been to a couple of weddings by myself and they've been okay but hard work really. Can't say I'd be in a rush to do it again.

Those were weddings where I didn't know anyone aside from the bride and groom. Have been to loads of weddings as a singleton but my friends have been there too. They've all been great fun.

Thanks so much everyone for sharing your views and experiences! I don't feel so worried now! I'll just ensure I talk to a lot of people!
