Helping out at the wedding reception increased my awareness of my own strength in the area of social skills. By pushing me to be able to have multiple small conversations with guests and challenged me to increase and develop my world knowledge in order to keep up with those conversations. Throughout the wedding reception I needed to initiate activities such as playing games in order to keep the guests occupied. The planning of the gift bags, the boxes for envelopes, the creating of the playlist and the planning on when the bride would enter and the doors would close was the most challenging aspect. It was necessary for me to work collaboratively with the bridesmaids, the wedding planner and the wedding couples families in order to ensure that everything would run smoothly like they wanted.
The wedding required full attention for the entire weekend and I only got 4 hours of sleep each night as the bridesmaids and bride needed to start geting ready at 3-4AM of the wedding day. However, I was committed in trying my hardest for this wedding to run as perfectly as possible. I developed new skills by helping out with the wedding as it has further established my interest in event planning, management and especially management to do with hotels.
