Do YOU know how to be a good guest?

Being a gracious host seems a daunting task, but have you ever thought about how to be a perfect guest? When attending a wedding, etiquette is more important than ever! If you have never thought about your own behavior at a wedding, it's time to start!

The bride and groom have enormous amounts of decisions to make, and pressures to deal with during the entire planning process. It is your job as a good friend, and a good guest, to make your attendance problem free!!!!

*The FIRST thing you need to do as a good guest is RSVP promptly!!! Even if the groom is your best pal, you MUST send in your response card IMMEDIATELY! Equally important is to let a couple know you send your regrets. Also, follow through with your decision, no one likes a wedding crasher, and if you said you were coming, keep in mind the couple has spent non refundable money on you! It can cost upwards of 100.00 per head for food and beverage for each guest, so be courteous and show up! A bride and groom also painstakingly spend hours planning a seating chart. Can Aunt Martha sit next to cousin Bob? Pam doesn't get a long with Susan.....etc... If you make the seating chart, you better be seated ;)

*Second, USE THE REGISTRY! Couples spend hours selecting the things they need most to get their new lives started. It is also customary to send the gift ahead of the wedding to their address. It can be cumbersome to have to deal with gifts on the wedding night, especially if they are slated to fly off to a romantic honeymoon. So do not bring packages to the reception.

*Next, arrive early! It is customary to arrive for the ceremony at least 15 minutes prior to the time listed on the invitation. If you arrive late, do not sneak in during the ceremony. Wait outside until the couple begins the receiving line. On a side note, keep your congratulations brief during a receiving line. Everyone wants a chance to see the couple, and there is usually a timeline to keep in mind.

*Finally, here are some little tips to be certain you are "guest-worthy" at your next wedding. Don't drink too much. Just because it's open bar, doesn't mean you should overindulge. You don't want to take away ANY attention from the bride ad groom. Be on your best behavior. Dress appropriately. Don't wear white, off white or anything risque. Do not take pictures during the ceremony. Do NOT bring along a guest(s) that was not invited! Pay attention during toasts and first dances, and be respectful of all the vendors (DJ, photographer, wedding planner) that are working at the wedding.

The next time you attend a wedding, use proper etiquette and be a gracious guest. Remember, the day is about the bride and groom, not you!

Helping make your weddings fabulous! Tiffany

This is wonderful! I had been wanting to write something like this for a while. It's amazing what guests will do when they've had a few drinks and the lights are dim. I am going to share this with my clients!
