A wedding is one of the best events in a person’s life, it can be overwhelming for both partners. Wedding etiquette is a tricky subject. Even though you think you are following all the rules, there are some that you may end up overlooking. Below are some wedding etiquette tips you need to know.

Announcing the Engagement

Announcing the engagement is the first thing you need before you can start inviting people to the wedding. It is always important to share your engagement with family and friends before you broadcast the news (photos included) to social media. If there are any children from a previous marriage, they should know first. Before the news is public, ensure your parents, family members, and anyone you are close with knows.

Booking The Wedding Car

Book the car in plenty of time as some areas are very busy and your ideal car may not be available if you leave too close to the big day.  I live in Warsop and I know many brides are booking their cars one or two years before the wedding. Booking the car hire for weddings in Warsop is important as it will start your wedding day off in the theme you have selected. This could be a vintage style going back to a bygone era or a modern wedding limousine for the bride and groom who desire an upmarket or modern feel the the ceremony.

Bringing gift to the engagement party

Bringing gifts is not part of the party, but there are some guests who prefer coming with a small gift. Do not expect present to be opened because it may not be the same everywhere.

Walking Down the Aisle

Traditionally, the bride was walked down the aisle by her father, but you can have anyone significant in your life walk you down. You can walk with more than one person or even alone. No matter who is walking you down the aisle, it is important to avoid it being a decision you make at the last minute.

Do I send an invitation to a person I Know Can’t Attend?

An invitation comes with the expectation of a gift; you don’t want to make a person feel like they have to give a gift despite the fact they won’t be attending. If someone tells you they have conflict, don’t follow that up with an invitation. If the person is a close friend or family, you may send the invite with a note telling them that you send them the invite as a keepsake.

Backing out as a Bridesmaid

There are times when you want to back out because you can’t afford it or no longer want to do it. Bridesmaids are expected to pay for their own attires, makeup, hair, and any travel expenses. Other than a family emergency, illness, or work, then it is not acceptable to back out once you have committed. If you have no choice, then you need to let the bride know in the shortest time possible.

Skipping the Cake

There are certain traditions that are okay to omit; like cutting the cake. If you skip cutting the cake, then you need to be aware that the cake cutting ceremony and serving dessert is a sign to the guests that they can leave without being rude.

Uploading Photos Using Mobile During the Wedding

It is always important to ask the couple permission before posting any photos on social media, when in doubt. Uploading can distract you from participating in the moment and can broadcast the details of the event to people who may not have been invited.

Wedding etiquette is an important aspect of any couples wedding so, it’s better to know for both the couple and the people attending.
