Weddings require considerable planning and coordination, making it crucial for guests to adhere to etiquette rules. Key mistakes to avoid include ignoring the RSVP deadline, arriving late, disregarding the dress code, wearing white or bridal-like colors, and overindulging at the bar. Experts emphasize showing respect for the hosts and the couple on their special day, as well as considering the overall flow of the ceremony and reception. Proper etiquette fosters a pleasant environment for all attendees, ensuring the celebration stays harmonious.
"There are few things more rude than leaving a host hanging, so be sure to RSVP promptly," Leighton told BI.
"Arriving late to a wedding ceremony is a social faux pas," etiquette expert Lisa Mirza Grotts said. "Guests should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early."
"When a guest shows up underdressed, it disturbs the aesthetic and can even make others uncomfortable. It's always better to be slightly overdressed than risk looking out of place," Musayeva told BI.
"Do not wear a style that looks remotely bridal. You do not want to come even close to stealing the bride's thunder," Jo Hayes advised.
