How to Be a Good Guest at One's Wedding

Weddings are an opportunity to let your people be styled and have a nice time. However, bear in mind that weddings are also a meeting of people of all ages, so you should strive to keep your actions as classy as possible. For every wedding invitation, this question always pops up, "What am I going to wear?" Is there a rule for wedding guest clothes? Your outfits should never outshine the bride and groom. A good guest has to be smart to think the right way to take part in a wedding. There are a few things to keep in mind to respect the rules of good wedding guest attire. After all, you want to enjoy yourself at your friend's wedding. Here are some helpful hints for wedding guests.

A Good Guest WILL:

Consider the location and atmosphere.

Before making any fashion choices, always think about what the wedding prefers. Know the wedding location and atmosphere and dress accordingly. The venue of the wedding will usually give you a clue of what to wear.

Be responsible for the RSVP.

Give heed to the invitation date. When you already know your answer, respond as soon as possible. Here's why sending RSVPs on time is so important: Vendors need a final headcount a few weeks in advance to ensure that there are adequate seating and food.

Arrive on time.

The wedding ceremony is usually a little later than planned. However, this does not imply that you must. Your presence as a guest is vital to the success of the event. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before the start of the show. Show up on time.

Wear comfortable shoes.

Choose a shoe that is both comfortable and formal. To avoid blisters from emerging by the end of the night, break in your new shoes. Flats or wedges are safe options at all times. Feel free to wear heels, but for later, consider packing flats or sandals. It will be a long day, so wear comfortable shoes. Comfort is always the Key!

Bring a gift.

Couples spend a long time choosing the stuff on their registry and prefer them because they are purposely trying to use them. So do yourself and get them a favor and purchase from the registry. Buy it early, when there are more options to choose from, to make your gift seem more personal.

A Good Guest WILL NOT:

Wear white.

The white is for the bride. Yes! it's not always easy to find out what to wear to a wedding. When it comes to wedding guest dress, there is only one norm: never wear white unless directly requested, guests should not wear white to a wedding.

Bring a date.

It is considered poor guest etiquette to invite someone who isn't on the guest list to a wedding unless they are expressly invited "with a plus one." Never assume that you can bring a partner. Keep your thoughts on the wedding, as well as moments with other friends or family members, particularly if you haven't seen them in a long time. It's a fun reunion.

Show up too early. 

Wedding days are hectic and crazy, and brides and grooms barely have time to talk before the ceremony. That is the purpose of the reception. As a response, don't arrive too early or too late.

Wear crazy patterns.

Smart wedding guests maintain a conservative demeanor. The other guests probably can't understand how your favorite animal print draws all the focus in group pictures. It's not your wedding, it's someone else's.

Drinking Widely.

You don't have to take advantage of the free drinks only because they are available. Also, remember to pace yourself. You won't want to pass it out on the table until the cake is cut.

Be a Good Guest

And there you've got it! Now, go ahead and be fashionable. When choosing what to wear to your next wedding, keep these ideas in mind, because if you've been invited to a wedding, it means the bride or groom has chosen you to be a part of one of their most significant moments, when you know how limited wedding guest lists can be, it is a significant great honor.
