I'm going to a wedding in STL in June and the hotel is a Best Western.  :frown: :frown: :frown:

Last weekend I went from 2 nights at the St. Regis to 2 nights at the Best Western Bayside.   Which is incidentally the #2 rated hotel in Oakland, CA.    But I was hesitant.   All in all it was fine, on par with most IHG properties I've been to.

Real talk here: I've never stayed at a Best Western. Totally uncharted territory for KCFDcat.

Are waiting for the wedding party to arrive and the wedding party announcements the dumbest parts of receptions? Possibly.

Oddly enough, the garter toss seems less attention-whore-y

Well it's creepy and most guys don't want to get out there and catch a sweaty piece of underwear...hopefully.  Waiting for the wedding party is necessary if they're off taking pictures or something.  It would be weird if they just walked in and sat down after a few hours of everyone waiting.

no, it's not. Any reception that does stuff like "the chicken dance" "the train" "the electric slide" automatically takes the dumbest part of the reception. next comes the garter toss, the bouquet toss, etc...

If you do a garter toss, you should also do a groom's underwear toss to be equitable.

if you have an open bar (you better), people will get nice and tipsy/'faced and open there wallets.  old, rich people will give you large bills.  you'll get a chance to talk while "dancing" with a bunch of people that you want to talk with and say thanks for coming to your wedding.

Yeah. For a lot of people it's the only one on one conversation you get w/ the bride/groom. Think of it as a more fun receiving line.
