Happy Monday to all of our SJE blog readers! I can’t believe we are over half way through May. Where does the time go?
We have spent a lot of Mondays giving etiquette advice to the bride and groom and today I wanted to put the spotlight on the guests. The following are ways to make sure you are the perfect guest for the next wedding you attend:
1. RSVP: As soon as you get the invitation go check the calendar and let the bride and groom know if you will be attending. It’s important for the bride and groom to have the final head count for the venue, caterer, and décor items.
2. Respect the Invitation: NEVER invite yourself to a wedding or invite other people. If the bride and groom would like you to bring a date or children it will be indicated on the invitation, or have an option for you to add either the name of your guest or plus 1.
3. Treat the Wedding as if it was Your Wedding: Don’t show up late for the wedding, turn your cell phone off, and dress properly for the wedding. Remember to respect the couples’ day. They have spent a lot of time, energy, and money to making the day special and you don’t want to be the guest to ruin it for them.
