"Don't wear white unless specifically asked to. Don't choose someone else's special day as the moment to propose to your partner. Don't ignore your table assignment."
""The bride and groom are going to make their way around the reception floor and while you want to wish them congratulations, you don't want to monopolize their time," said Diane Gottsman, an etiquette expert, author of " Modern Etiquette for a Better Life " and founder of The Protocol School of Texas. "A few minutes is all that is necessary. This is not the time to get into a lengthy conversation.""
""One would hope it would go without saying, but the attention should be on the couple," said Jodi R.R. Smith, president of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting. "Guests should refrain from screaming, fighting, being overly intoxicated, or sharing private information about the couple during this happy occasion.""
Basic wedding etiquette includes not wearing white unless specifically asked, avoiding proposals during someone else's special day, and following assigned seating. Guests should be mindful of the couple's limited time at the reception and keep greetings brief so the couple can enjoy dining, dancing, and traditions. Guests should avoid screaming, fighting, being overly intoxicated, or sharing private information about the couple. Guests should not attempt to upstage the couple by showing off on the dance floor. Respectful, restrained behavior preserves the focus on the couple and ensures a pleasant experience for all attendees.
