Etiquette, it’s all in the wrist.
Ok, so you know you’re getting married, but the etiquette of it all has you so confused. Let me tell, your etiquette is important in some parts of your wedding, but can leave you tired and worn out afterwards. Look at it this way, if it’s important to you, it’s important to the wedding. If you don’t care, skip it. However, here’s some things you should highly consider before skimping on the etiquette:
1) Are you cutting anyone out? Consider WHO you’re cutting out. If you are planning on not having assigned seating at the reception, does that mean that mom and dad are going to get stuck in the back on accident because you’re doing pictures and everyone will have been seated already? Are grandma and grandpa going to be at a table where they can’t see anything? But if it’s oh, your college friends aren’t going to all be at the same table…you’re probably not going to hurt too many feelings. Another example, so you don’t want corsages or boutonnières? This might take away from your wedding party and family members feeling recognized and important. That doesn’t mean that we can’t come up with another way to make them feel like they are part of this most important day.
2) Consider the flexibility of each idea. If you are making every aspect of your ceremony and reception fit to the traditional etiquette of a wedding, it might change the flexibility and functionality of your wedding. If you HAVE to have a receiving line after the ceremony, but your reception site is right next door? How feasible is this? Or what happens if you want to take pictures afterwards, and your guests just want to be seated or start the cocktail hour. It is a hard, etiquette-filled transition between the ceremony and the reception. A lot of couples make the mistake of cramming too many things in between and making their guests hungry, thirsty, cranky (children), or many guests will just leave. Yes, it is your wedding, but we know you want to see and talk to each guest because you did invite them for a reason.
These are just a couple of things to keep in mind as you begin to tailor wedding traditions to your dreams for a beautiful wedding.
