Proper wedding etiquette

It’s wedding szn 💍

As a someone who planned their own wedding and has been to a few here are a few things I want to share as wedding etiquette in 2024!

You can wear wedding colors but not the same colors as the actual bridal party!

Be present in the moments put the phone down and enjoy the ceremony. (I love an unplugged ceremony)

Your not hanging out at a random bar, please be responsible and know your limit when it comes to drinks.

Bring a gift! Weddings are not cheap. You were invited to celebrate a milestone in someone’s life and money went into you being there.

If you’re no longer going to attend the wedding let the soon to be newlyweds know in advance.

... Read moreAs weddings evolve in style and expectations, understanding proper etiquette is crucial for both guests and couples. In 2024, embracing trends like the 'unplugged ceremony' encourages guests to be present without distractions from technology. This creates a more intimate atmosphere and allows everyone to fully engage in the celebration. When choosing your outfit, consider the couple’s requested color scheme, ensuring that you complement rather than clash with the bridal party. It's courteous to avoid wearing the same colors as bridesmaids or groomsmen, which can steal attention from the couple. Wine consumption at weddings can vary. While it's often a joyous occasion, being mindful of your limits is essential. The wedding is not just a party; it's a significant moment for the marrying couple, and it’s respectful to maintain decorum. Also, if you can no longer attend the wedding, timely communication with the couple is crucial. It shows respect and allows them to make necessary adjustments. Gift-giving is another cornerstone of wedding etiquette. When choosing a gift, remember that it’s a celebration of love, and your contribution helps the couple start their new chapter together. Whether you opt for registry items or personalized gifts, showing thoughtfulness is what matters most. As weddings continue to grow in significance and style, remembering these etiquette essentials will not only enhance your experience as a guest but also honor the couple's special day.
