So I made DOs and DON'Ts lists for wedding guest.
Wedding etiquette:
The first, when you do get the invitation, do reply to it as soon as possible.
DO list:
Do buy a wedding gift early. Couples spend a tons of time of choosing the items on their registry- and they picked them coz they actually going to use them. So do them and yourself a favor and buy a wedding gift from their registry. ( The gift won't be a problem to me, they only want a little money for their honeymoon.)
Do be on time! True fact: weddings tend to run late. But that doesn't mean you should. Plan to be at the ceremony 20-30 minutes early.
Do pay attention to the dress code. You don't want to be underdressed for the wedding. Even if it's casual, always wear dress, skirt or suit. ( Definitely dress, I just have to buy proper one for the wedding. )
Do stay out of the photographer's way.
Do congratulate the family.
Do sign the guestbook.
DON'Ts list:
Do not assume that you can bring a date. Unless it days "a guest" on the invitation, only you should be attending. And no, don't call to the bride and ask if you can bring a date either. If it were on their budget, the bride and groom would have extended the extra invitation. ( It won't be a problem. After all, I'm not seeing anyone. )
Don't bring a large wedding gift to the wedding. Well, I think it's pretty obvious why...
Don't forget to turn off your phone. Again, pretty obivious.
Do not wear white. This one should go without saying.
Don't get wasted. Enjoy the bar, don't abuse it.
Don't talk forever. Make a point of saying hello to bride and groom, but keep your conversation short.
I hope my DOs and DON'Ts list helps you even a bit. At least my research helped me a lot :) Now my problem is to find proper clothes to wear to the wedding. I don't really own anything fancy :S
Until next time!~~
