How to Handle Wedding Invitations332

Wedding invitations are a beautiful and exciting way to announce your upcoming nuptials. But what do you do when you receive one? Here's a guide on how to handle wedding invitations, from RSVPing to attending the ceremony and reception.

RSVPing to a Wedding Invitation

The first thing you need to do when you receive a wedding invitation is to RSVP. RSVP stands for "répondez s'il vous plaît," which is French for "please respond." You can typically RSVP by mail, email, or phone. The RSVP deadline is usually listed on the invitation.

When you RSVP, be sure to include the following information:
Your name
The number of guests in your party
Whether or not you will be attending the ceremony and/or reception
Any dietary restrictions or special accommodations you may have

If you have any questions about the RSVP process, be sure to contact the couple directly.

Attending the Wedding Ceremony

If you are attending the wedding ceremony, be sure to arrive on time. The ceremony will typically start at the time listed on the invitation. Be respectful of the couple and their guests by not interrupting the ceremony.

During the ceremony, you may be asked to stand or sit at certain times. If you are unsure of what to do, simply follow the lead of the other guests.

Attending the Wedding Reception

The wedding reception is a time to celebrate the couple's marriage. Be sure to enjoy yourself and have fun. The reception will typically include food, drinks, music, and dancing.

If you are giving a gift to the couple, be sure to bring it to the reception. You can also give a card with a heartfelt message.

Other Etiquette Tips

Here are a few other etiquette tips to keep in mind when attending a wedding:
Dress appropriately for the occasion. The dress code will typically be listed on the invitation.
Be respectful of the couple's wishes. If they have requested that guests do not take photos during the ceremony, please respect their wishes.
Be on time for both the ceremony and the reception.
Have fun! Weddings are a time to celebrate and have a good time.
