- Gift-Giving Made Easy: A considerate guest mails a gift from the registry to the couple’s home before the wedding day.

- 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.
