Wedding Guest Etiquette - DO's & DON'Ts of Behavior & Manners at Weddings
About this video
The Gazette team outlines thirteen essential etiquette rules for wedding guests, covering everything from RSVP protocol and respecting dress codes to gift-giving expectations, appropriate alcohol consumption, and personal conduct. The speaker emphasizes that guests should prioritize supporting the bride and groom rather than drawing attention to themselves or behaving poorly.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that guests must RSVP promptly, respect invitation specifications (plus-ones, dress codes, no-children policies), and not request additional guests or modifications
- The Gazette team recommends purchasing gifts from the registry or giving cash, noting that appropriate amounts vary by culture but should reflect the event’s significance
- The Gazette team stresses that wedding guests should drink responsibly, avoid being the center of attention, arrive on time, say goodbye in person, and arrange safe transportation home
