Today, we're flipping the script! Instead of focusing on wedding planning or relationships, we’re diving into what it takes to be an amazing wedding guest. For all the future attendees, we’re here to help you brush up on guest etiquette, so you can show up ready to celebrate in style. And for couples, we’ll also talk about ways you can set your guests up for success, ensuring everyone enjoys the big day as much as you do!

Episode Highlights: In this first part series, we cover what great wedding guests do to make the day smoother, more fun, and more memorable for everyone. Here are some key points we discuss:

  • Timely and Accurate RSVPs: Great guests RSVP by the deadline—and only for those invited.
  • Gift-Giving Made Easy: A considerate guest mails a gift from the registry to the couple’s home before the wedding day.
  • Informed Attendance: They read the wedding website or invitations for details instead of bombarding the couple with questions.
  • Logistical Independence: Good guests research parking, plan their route, and handle their own logistics, from shuttle timing to parking and transportation home.
  • Respect for Ceremony and Reception Timing: Great guests honor the timeline by showing up on time for the ceremony and knowing when to be seated for dinner.
  • Being Social: They’re enthusiastic during cocktail hour, are mindful of how much they drink, and know when to call it a night.
  • Following Instructions and Respecting Staff: Perfect guests listen to directions, respect the venue, and ensure a smooth sendoff.

Our Advice to Couples: We also share tips for couples on how to make it easier for guests to be their best selves on your big day. By setting expectations clearly and providing useful info, you can help everyone enjoy the celebration.
