1. Fill out the RSVP card pronto. Couples need this to keep track – so don’t be that slacker friend!
2. If you are not invited with a plus one, do not bring someone anyway. Weddings are really expensive, so the couple has had to decide very carefully about who they are inviting. Be happy you made the list!
3. Don’t take the centrepiece home with you. Some décor is rented and needs to be returned.
4. Just because the booze is free doesn’t mean you should drink until you are rip roaring drunk. You will not only embarrass yourself, but the happy couple as well.
5. Pick a gift from the registry… and whatever you do – don’t regift!

6. Pay attention to the instructions on the invite, it may be a casual outdoor wedding, but a holey t-shirt and stained shorts just won’t do.
7. It is really rude to just go to the reception and not to the ceremony. It shows that you could care less about the couple and are more interested in getting a free meal and drinks.
8. Keep the conversation P.C. at the table, especially if you do not know the other guests sitting with you.
9. Unless you have been asked to give a toast, keep your hands off the microphone. You can say whatever you need to say privately to the couple.
10. Keep your mobile phone turned off. Be present and be thankful that the couple invited you to share in their happy day.

1. Be considerate to your Bridesmaids – try to find a happy medium when it comes to bridesmaids dresses. Think carefully about the fabric and the cost!
2. If you invite someone to your bachelorette or bachelor party, or even your engagement party – be sure to invite them to the wedding as well.
3. Consider the distance and time frame between the ceremony and reception. No one wants to drive for hours on end or wait around for long lengths of time for the festivities to begin.
4. Cut the cake at a reasonable time. There may be older guests who feel it is rude to leave before the cake cutting – or simply are more interested in eating cake rather than drinking booze. Don’t wait until the very end of the night.
5. Thank you notes are a necessity!

6. Provide a wedding marquee for outdoor weddings! Protect your guests from the elements.
7. Carefully consider your seating chart! If you have to invite family members who are feuding – make sure they are not sitting at the same table.
8. Give people a few choices for food – you never know who may be allergic to certain things or who doesn’t eat meat.
9. Provide non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day, especially at an outdoor wedding.
10. Make sure there are enough restroom facilities. A rule of thumb is 1 bathroom per 25 guests.
