Checklist for Guests: Everything You Need to Know Before Attending a Wedding

You've been invited to a wedding and you don't know what to do? Don't worry, we've prepared a list of everything you need to know to be ready for the big day.

1. RSVP

The first thing to do is reply to the invitation as soon as possible. This will allow the bride and groom to know how many people will be attending and plan accordingly.

2. Choose Appropriate Attire

What you wear to a wedding depends on the type of ceremony and reception. If you're unsure about what to wear, ask the bride and groom or their loved ones. 

3. Bring a Gift

It is customary to give the newlyweds a gift. The gift can be something simple like a gift card or bouquet of flowers, or something more substantial like kitchen appliances or furniture.

4. Arrive on Time

It's important to arrive to the ceremony on time. If you're late, you risk missing the start of the ceremony or disrupting the ceremony. 

5. Be Respectful

A wedding is a special event for the bride, groom, and their loved ones. Be respectful to the newlyweds and guests by not making noise, taking photos during the ceremony, or drinking alcohol excessively.

6. Have Fun

A wedding is a festive event, so don't forget to have fun! Dance, eat, drink, and enjoy the company of your friends and family.

7. Thank the Newlyweds

After the wedding, don't forget to thank the newlyweds for inviting you and for the beautiful day they allowed you to experience. You can send them a thank you card or small gift. 

Bonus: Additional Tips

* If you have food allergies, let the newlyweds know in advance.

* If you have to travel for the wedding, book your transportation and lodging well in advance.

* Relax and enjoy the wedding!
