Sheva Brachot when there is no minyan

Question

In Sheva Brachot, when there is no minyan, are the blessings recited, and if so, how?

Answer

Shalom u-berakha 

One recites the blessing "Asher Bara", and afterwards the blessing "Borei Pri HaGafen". 

The one leading the zimun adds "sheha-simcha bi-me'ono"; [and one does not say "devai haser", nor "Nodeh leShimcha"].
