    #WeddingCorner: Modern Wedding Etiquette (Dos and Don’ts)

    0
    By Pride Team on June 29, 2024 Wedding corner

    Weddings are beautiful, joyous occasions that celebrate the union of two people in love. While the core sentiment of weddings has remained constant, the etiquette surrounding these events has evolved with the times. Understanding modern wedding etiquette can help ensure that the day goes smoothly for everyone involved. Whether you’re the bride, groom, or a guest, here are some key dos and don’ts to keep in mind:

    For the Couple:

    Dos:

    1. Send invitations promptly:
      • Do send your invitations out in a timely manner. This allows your guests to plan accordingly, especially if they need to travel.
    2. Create a clear and informative wedding website:
      • Do create a wedding website to provide guests with all the necessary information, including the schedule, dress code, accommodation options, and registry details.
    3. Consider your guests’ comfort:
      • Do think about your guests’ comfort, from providing ample seating to considering dietary restrictions when planning the menu.
    4. Be clear about expectations:
      • Do clearly communicate any expectations or requirements, such as dress code or whether children are invited, to avoid any confusion.
    5. Thank your guests:
      • Do ensure you thank your guests for attending. A thank-you card or personal message goes a long way in showing your appreciation.

    Don’ts:

    1. Don’t assume everyone knows the plan:
      • Don’t assume your guests know the details. Always provide clear instructions and updates, preferably through your wedding website or invitation inserts.
    2. Don’t overdo the demands:
      • Don’t impose overly strict or expensive dress codes that might be a burden on your guests. Be considerate of their financial and logistical constraints.
    3. Don’t neglect to greet your guests:
      • Don’t forget to spend some time with your guests. Even a brief personal greeting can make them feel valued and appreciated.
    4. Don’t forget to have fun:
      • Don’t let the stress of planning overshadow the joy of your wedding day. Remember to enjoy the moment and celebrate your love.

    For the Guests:

    Dos:

    1. RSVP promptly:
      • Do RSVP as soon as possible. This helps the couple plan for the right number of guests and make necessary arrangements.
    2. Follow the dress code:
      • Do adhere to the dress code specified in the invitation. If you’re unsure, it’s better to ask rather than guess.
    3. Arrive on time:
      • Do arrive on time for the ceremony. Late arrivals can be disruptive and disrespectful.
    4. Bring a thoughtful gift:
      • Do bring a gift, even if it’s a small one. Check the couple’s registry for ideas or consider giving cash if that’s preferred.
    5. Respect photography rules:
      • Do respect any requests regarding photography. If the couple has hired a professional photographer, avoid blocking their shots with your phone or camera.

    Don’ts:

    1. Don’t ignore the RSVP deadline:
      • Don’t ignore the RSVP deadline. Failing to respond can cause unnecessary stress for the couple.
    2. Don’t bring uninvited guests:
      • Don’t bring uninvited plus-ones or children if they were not included in your invitation. It’s important to respect the couple’s guest list decisions.
    3. Don’t post on social media without permission:
      • Don’t post photos of the couple or the wedding on social media unless you have their permission. Some couples prefer to keep their celebration private.
    4. Don’t overindulge:
      • Don’t overindulge in alcohol. Maintaining decorum and respect for the occasion is key.
    5. Don’t complain:
      • Don’t complain about the food, music, or other arrangements. Remember, it’s a celebration, and the couple has likely put a lot of effort into planning their special day.

    Modern wedding etiquette is about balancing tradition with the evolving expectations and preferences of today’s couples and guests. By following these dos and don’ts, you can ensure a harmonious and enjoyable wedding experience for everyone involved.
