Surviving a Wedding Reception

You’ve RSVP’d. You’ve found your shoes. Now what? 

Welcome to the hilariously chaotic, secretly strategic, and emotionally crumb-covered world of the modern wedding reception. 

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a terrified plus-one, this guide is your essential survival manual for navigating one of life’s most unpredictable social

events—with your dignity (assert) intact.

Packed with wit, charm, and brutally honest advice, Surviving a Wedding Reception covers everything from the silent politics of the seating chart to the perils of signature cocktails and the fine art of exiting before the conga line begins.

 Inside, you'll find:

With dry humor, practical wisdom, and the biting brilliance of commentator Parcival T. Down, this book turns wedding chaos into manageable charm.

Whether you're dodging the bouquet or eyeballing the exit, this laugh-out-loud guide will help you become the guest everyone remembers fondly—not the one the photographer had to crop out
