The Lame Table

There are a few things in this world which I just don't understand like there is braille on drive-through ATM's, why couple see each other before the wedding ceremony and why I can't walk out of Walmart without spending $80.

My real issue is wedding guests; you always need a few people to go out and take on for the team but when the entire wedding party hangs out at the bar leaving only the grandmas and aunts to roam the dance-floor you are in big trouble.
The rule here is that Wedding guests are important. Obviously you want people there who you want to witness your vows but when cutting down I think it's crucial to take into consideration the 'fun factor'. When you look from the dance floor you expect to see a couple of lame tables but when the lame tables outnumber the fun ones 3 to 1, you may as well save the $100 a head times 200 people and elope.
My boy The Bump from www.BumpLovesTV.blogspot.com made a comment to me years ago that people who don't party won't throw a good one. You can't expect balls-to-the-wall fun if you yourself are a balls-tucked-to-your-ass boring.
First of all.. Nobody wants to bring it 100% if you yourself don't leave it all on the field but more importantly nobody wants to rip it up when they are siting at the lame table.

So the hints (a follow up on the TOR from a few months ago)

Keep the action moving, down time is killer

Keep the lame factor below 20%, if your friends are mostly lame consider not telling them about your wedding

The DJ matters..

No Open Bar means no stories the next morning.

Most importantly.. If you want a good party, learn how to party yourself and if you don't want me bitching then don't stick me at the lame table
