Tips for Being the Best Wedding Guest Ever…

Remember You Are Helping to Create Memories

Your presence is important. You are playing an integral role in the shaping of the memories that will reflect what for some, is the most important day of their life. Allow that to help guide you when deciding how you will carry yourself throughout the wedding ceremony and reception.

Be on Time

Do your best to be on time, plan for possible traffic delays and do your gift shopping before the day of the wedding. In the event that you are late, sit in the back so that you don’t disturb other guests or distract from the wedding.

RSVP

It is easy to sit the invitation down someplace and forget about it until you get a call from the Maid of Honor asking if you ever received one in the first place, and if you’ll be coming. Make an effort to RSVP and, if applicable, indicate your meal preference right away.

Don’t Ask to Bring Someone

In most cases the bride and groom or whoever is footing the bill has to pay per person. Don’t put them on the spot by asking if you can bring someone. Even worse, don’t show up the day of with an uninvited guest. Unless it clearly indicates you can bring a guest, plan on going solo.

Post With Care

So you had fun taking photos with the bride in the photo booth and you got some great ones. In fact, you look really hot in one of them and you decide it would be a great profile pic for Facebook. But if it’s not so becoming of the bride, don’t post it – or Instagram it. On the other hand, if you’ve got some really great photos, why not share them with the happy couple?
