Wedding Invites

When invitations arrived, it signifies that bride and groom wants you to be part of their special day, that they want you to witness their vows for forever. Treat it with great honor with simply following some wedding etiquette.

1. RSVP Promptly. ("Répondez s'il vous plaît", a french word means "please reply") Determine whether or not you can attend the ceremony and the reception. Wedding planning hinges on how many people should be expected, this will be use from the seating arrangements, ceremony, preparation of giveaways, up to the ordering of the food. It will be an inconvenience for the couple if you don't respond but you showed up. RSVP ON TIME.


2. Uninvited. Read and re-read. This is to make sure if you are allowed to bring a guest. Do not try to convince the couple to let you be with your date to escort you in their event. Nowadays, tickets were send off together with the invitations, this is to let the guest not to assume whether they can be with someone to attend. Remember some couple wants their special day to be intimate and only close friends and relatives are only invited.  


If you do not receive wedding invites, do not invite yourself. Wedding is an exclusive event, couples and their families may not include everyone. So do not take it personally.


3. Do not bring your children. Unless they are part of the entourage or specially mentioned in the invites, bringing them is inappropriate.
