To Bay Go Duvet
Be it to toast a dear friend, family member, or a co-worker, many of us will be attending weddings in the next few months. It’s an exciting time for the soon-to-be’s, but it can also be stressful. To be sure a part of your gift is being a great guest; here are a few tips on how to help the newlyweds have a fantastic day.
- RSVP, ASAP! Wedding invitations may arrive by both electronic and posted mail. Be sure to respond as quickly as possible, and always RSVP to the invitation in the format in which it was received. If the invite arrives on embossed stationary, a texted reply will not do. This is a casual response to a formal request, and someone is tallying the RSVP cards. Don’t add to the confusion of planning the event by not providing requested details.
- Post with care. You will, of course, be taking photos with your phone. But unless you are furnished with a hashtag, and some level of instruction by the bride and groom regarding how to share the day, please do not post images to social media while the wedding is happening. Yield to the professional photographer, and let them capture the special moments. You can collect the candid shots as the party and evening unfolds!
- Be on time for the ceremony. What this really means is be sure you are parking the car twenty minutes before the actual wedding begins. If you arrive after the procession has started, seat yourself as quickly as possible in the rear of the venue to ensure the bride is center stage.
- It’s not your day. Please don’t wear a predominantly white or ivory ensemble. And it’s best to leave an all-black outfit for another day as well.
