Going To A Wedding Single
It’s officially wedding season and you’re single. Which means you have to attend these weddings solo. The good news is that I became a pro at this. I’m basically the real life movie 27 dresses at this point with the number of weddings I’ve attended and been in, all while going to these events by myself. Trust me, I’ve been placed at every singles table next to the one single guy at the wedding countless times. And spoiler alert - I’m never interested. So I completely understand that going to weddings single and alone can bring up a lot of feelings. It’s normal to get in your feels and have some sense of sadness or dread around that. But the choice is yours - you can either hate every second of it or make it a fun night.
So here are my tips on how to enjoy attending a wedding single & solo:
Be confident - Take this as an opportunity to do all the beauty prep and appointments so you are feeling your best. Get a spray tan, find a dress you feel amazing in, have fun with your hair and makeup. The goal is to go into the night feeling good so you set yourself up for success. Because when you feel confident, you’re going to have a great night.
Make friends - You never know what could happen and who you will meet at a wedding. There are so many new people who could be new friends or even a love interest. My best friend went to a wedding where she knew no one and ended up dating a guy she met there. Everyone is there looking to have a good time so take advantage of that and see who you can meet. Pro tip: become friends with the bartenders. They’re a safe space to go when you don’t have anyone to hang with plus they will serve you first.
Find inspiration - You will be surrounded by love at a wedding. And instead of letting that make you feel lonely and sad, use it as inspiration. Clearly there is a lot of love out there so why can’t that happen for you? Look at it as exciting that this is possible and is still in store for you.
Have fun - This is one night of your life so don’t let being there on your own ruin it. And before you know it, it will be over. Plus, weddings are really just one big party. So enjoy it and have fun!
I know wedding season can be a bit daunting (and expensive) when you’re single. It’s something I’ve dealt with over the past 10 years. But going into it with a positive and open attitude is really what will make or break the night. Plus an amazing dress :) And before you know it, you’ll have a date to one of those weddings in the future. So don’t forget to embrace those solo nights while you still can, meet new people and have fun celebrating love!
