I assume that no two people shake hands if they've already shaken them earlier, irrespective of who initiated it.

In that case Guest 1 will shake hands with 5 others (Guest 2 to 6)

Guest 2 will shake hands with 4 others (Remember she's already shaken hands with Guest 1).

Guest 3 will shake hands with 3 others (having already shaken hands with Guest 1 and 2)

and so on

We end up with 5+4+3+2+1 handshakes or 15 handshakes in all!
