Wedding Etiquette Advice for Guests
More often than not, it is the guests that we oftentimes
hear complain about the outcome of the wedding, that the bride and groom
violated wedding etiquette, and so on and so fort.
Guests seem to be forgetting that wedding etiquette is not
just for the bride and groom. There is wedding etiquette too reserved for the
guests.
We have outlined here some wedding etiquette advice for
guests. These wedding etiquette advice are taken from different sources and may
help you understand how to act and socialize with grace and manners in any
wedding.
Wedding Etiquette Advice 1: Thou shalt respond to an
invitation, immediately!
Invited guests who do not respond to an invitation are the
major cause of headaches to the bride and groom. There are guest who will say
regrets to the bride and groom just a day before the wedding day. While some
guests will not reply to the invitation at all and then you show up without
notice to the wedding ceremony and wedding reception.
Wedding Etiquette Advice #1 says this act is totally rude!
Today, the bride and groom pay for their own wedding. They rely on their
savings and salary to fund their wedding. They are not asking their fathers
anymore to host their big day.
So, with the limited budget that the couples have allotted
for their wedding (of course they need to save some as startup money). The
couples need to know the exact head count so they would know if they will go
over their budget. And failure of guests to reply to an RSVP will give the
bride and groom headaches. They would not know how many guests should that they
book in the hotel or caterer. And also, if you aware of this fact, if the bride
and groom add you to the guest list and they in list you for a sit-down dinner,
they will pay for your head even though you did not attend the wedding.
Please follow this wedding etiquette advice if you don't
want to be called an unmannered brute. Reply to an invitation immediately if
you must, or at least two week before the wedding day.
We, guests, expect the bride and groom to practice wedding
attique, and so should we.
Wedding Etiquette Advice 2: Thou shalt be dress
appropriately.
This wedding etiquette advice is not meant to promote
fashion, although being fashionable is really good. This wedding etiquette
advice came next to the wedding etiquette advice on responding immediately to
an invitation. Because after you respond to an invitation, the next thing you
will do is either buy a gift (if you still have some spare money to buy your
bride friend a gift) or attend the wedding (if you do not have the money to buy
a gift, you can skip the gift giving).
This wedding etiquette advice is for your own good. You
would not want to look like a gate crasher in your friend’s wedding, nor do
you? If it is a formal wedding, you would not want to be caught wearing a jeans
and t-shirt, right? You would definitely look like a gate crasher if you are
not dressed properly.
The wedding etiquette advice if the event is informal: please
refrain from wearing jeans and tank top or t-shirt. For women, kindly wear a
cocktail dress or a pretty Sunday dress. For men, please, if you may, wear your
suit. Just forgo your tie. You can even roll up your sleeves and open the top
button of your shirt to make it look less forma. You would definitely look
dashing in a suit!
Wedding Etiquette Advice 3: Thou shalt greet the newlyweds.
Brides and grooms want to feel you are happy for them and
your greetings will greatly be appreciated. This wedding etiquette advice is
not hard, isn't it? All you have to do is go to the bride and groom and greet
the bride, "Best Wishes" while the groom "Congratulations."
Saying your greetings is not only a thumbs-up act, it is
also a kind one.
