I'll attempt to keep this brief. Former teammate is getting married and since I'm unable to make the wedding, I agreed to make the reception. I don't know anything about receptions so any tips, pointers, and general/basic advice would be appreciated.

General info about the situation:
I don't dance
I don't drink
I'm asocial/apathetic
I don't expect very many black people to be there.

Bring a friend and gift. The friend will help keep you occupied. You don't have to stay the whole reception. Make sure the bride and groom see you and have a chat and Congratulate them. Get some food and cake :mjgrin:. Then dip out. So I would say stay for 2 hours or so. When the dancing starts it's easier for you to slide out cause no one is paying attention.

Is your friend black? - make a brief appearance, give him a gift.. and leave. (40 mins should suffice, enough time to act like you care to be there). Is your friend white? Don't go.
If you're apathetic, then you shouldn't really care about going either way, tell him you had a schedule conflict and send him a gift.

Wear a dark suit and tie. Don’t start drinking that night. Bring a card with a check or a gift. Small talk with the people at your table and try to find other people that came alone to talk to. After dinner / during a break, congratulate and thank the bride and groom and bounce.

You don't have to dance or drink. Dress appropriately, enjoy the food and try to scoop a honey. :manny:

easy place to pick up women. All that marriage in the air makes the single broads feel a certain type of way. :mjlit:
I should have included I'm not desirable :hubie:.

Easy.
Dress well.
Maximum: A full matching suit with tie and dress shoes. Thats too much for me.
Minimum: Just a nice crisp button up, no jacket, no tie and clean pressed slacks tucked in and dress shoes. This what I do.

As soon as you get there, find your boy, give him daps/hugs/a speech/ a gift or whatever. Just let him know you came to support.
After you dap him up find a seat and just sit there, eat the food and smile for an hour........then leave as soon as you get the chance. No one will know or care how long you stayed or whatever. You were there is all that matters.
