You’re invited to a wedding! Here are some do’s and don’ts:

• RSVP by the deadline. Even if you’ve already told the couple that you’ll be there.
• Don’t call the bride on the day of the wedding for any reason at all. DO NOT CALL!
• Don’t wear white or cream (did I really have to say that? Unfortunately, yes.)
• Don’t bring your gift to the wedding. It may get lost or damaged.
• Help get the party started - hit the dance floor first.
• Don’t change your table at the reception. So annoying.
• Let the DJ be the DJ. Don’t bug him/her with requests. The bride and groom have already chosen the songs that they want.
• DON’T take the centerpieces home! They may be in rented containers, the vases may belong to someone else, or the flowers may be going to a nursing home.
• Don’t complain about having to re-arrange your schedule to make it to the wedding. It’s rude.
• Questioning whether your kids under 18 are invited??? Children under 18 traditionally are not listed on the the outer envelope; if they’re invited to the wedding thier names will appear on the inner envelope, along with their parents names. If the inner envelope lists only your name and your husband’s, leave the kids at home. If the invitation does not use an inner envelope, all names of those invited will be written on the outer envelope.
