Table visits

I was just looking at another brides BAM (sorry I didn't write down her name, but if she sees this post thanks for your advice because it was awesome). and she said to not stop and hug everyone during table visits and to just stop and thank each table without staying too long.

I was just looking at another brides BAM (sorry I didn't write down her name, but if she sees this post thanks for your advice because it was awesome). and she said to not stop and hug everyone during table visits and to just stop and thank each table without staying too long.

I really like this plan, but I'm not sure if my guests will already plan on getting up to hug me (1. I'm not a hugger and 2. we only have 2 minutes per table if we want to get to all of the tables).

Any ideas on how to quickly execute table visits: what to say, how to avoid hugging and how to escape the chatter boxes?


I won't care if someone hugs me, I just don't want to end up hugging every single person at every single table if I can avoid it, but if I can't avoid it it's not a big deal

    1. Your profile photo cracks me up.

    2. I really don't like the idea of table visits. I'm an awkward person to begin with. Small talk is not my forte at all. This is why FH and I are going to try our best to mingle with everyone beforehand during the cocktail hour. If we miss anyone we will try to make a table visit or make an effort to talk to them at some point during the reception.

    ETA: I'm not a hugger or someone who casually touches people in conversation either but I fully accept that people will want to give me hugs, kiss me on the cheek, or touch my arms and back. That is how they display affection and I can't blame them on such a momentous day. I'm trying my best to mentally prepare myself for that.
