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.

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, the strategies for surviving a wedding buffet, and the fine art of exiting before the conga line begins.
