This will be a Do's-and-Don'ts type guide. It will cover all of the major issues that guests to weddings and even the brides may have when it comes to catering a wedding.
Gifts
- You are not required to open any gift in front of the wedding reception.
- You should not ask for certain things; especially not money (Even if you need it to pay for that fancy wedding catering).
- Do NOT seat bickering relatives next to each other.
- You don't have to have specific seats assigned to different people. Assigning each person to a specific table will even be better for when you cater your wedding.
- Having a head table is not always required. You can do it if you want, or you can choose a more "casual" seating arrangement. It's your wedding so do what you want.
- The Bride's family is expected to pay for the Groom's ring, the reception costs (general wedding catering), church fees, and invitations.
- The Groom's family usually pays for the Bridge's ring, the rehearsal dinner, and the cost of the clergy.
- If you are a guest, do NOT assume that the bride and groom know you are coming, even if you have had contact with them. Always reply to the invitation before the reply date.
- If you accept the invitation, you have to buy the couple a gift. If you don't accept it, then you should not be expected to.
- If you arrive late, you should wait until the bride has gone down the isle. Also, find a seat quickly on the outside isle; this isn't a time to dilly-dally.
