subject: Wedding Etiquettes: Start Your Married Life In A Graceful Manner [print this page] There are suggested rules + regulations for every occasion of life and without even noticing we follow them. Such etiquettes are very important at some important occasions. E.g. birth, baptism, wedding, death and such important occasions. The rules we follow are called rituals if they are traditional or religious.
In the wedding ceremony we are supposed to carry such rules. Some of them are noted here.
Invitation:
1.Invitation cards are distributed to guests. They consist: name of host, name of the honor, date, place, time, and agenda. Traditionally, brides mother invites on this occasion but there are moderations now. Parents, even couple also host the invitation.
2.Wedding invitation cards are given by hand to your guests, or through e-mail, post etc. least before three or four weeks of the wedding.
3.You are supposed to call and confirm that the posted wedding invitations have reached to them, whether they are attending the ceremony or not.
4.E-mailed invitations are quite easier to send but they are applicable for few guests only. Like the friends who are far away from your reach, people who are techno-friendly by nature.
5.If you know that one of your guests will not be able to attend the party then also you have to invite them formally. It shows your concern for him/her.
Reminder:
1.You must remind your guests of the date of your weeding a week before the wedding. You have to convey the dress code, agenda, approximate timing, and available transport to your guests. This will help you to know the exact numbers of your guests who will attend the ceremony.
2.At the time of reminder you can indicate your ideas about gifts if there are some different ideas. E.g. some people want to donate their gift amount to social welfare.
Attending to your guests:
1.Attending to your guests is important etiquette. First of all, you must
attend the priest personally with your partner. This is the way of respecting him and
The church.
2.Brides parent or parents are the best people to attend with flowers or cookies.
Accompanying them to their seats is the way of honoring them.
The ceremony:
1.Prayers, wedding vows, cutting the cake, toasting for the occasion must be on time
and in a graceful manner. First wedding kiss, pair dance of the newly wed should be
a dignified style.
2The best way to honor your guests is asking them to attend the reception. The bride and groom should enquire about their comfort at the occasion.
3.Brides maids, best man, ring bearer are also the attractions of your wedding party. So, there should be proper space given to them too. Speeches, toasting etc. help you to honor them.
4.you should take care that your wedding ceremony should not be so lengthy that it
Creates boredom. Short but precise wedding vows, very precise speeches
entertaining songs may survive the cause.
Thanks giving:
1.At the end of ceremony, you must bid them farewell, with a thank you note.
This role can be performed by the host of the party too.
2.Be careful while handling or transporting the gifts. These are the complements of
your guests. So, handle carefully.
3.after you find all the gifts received by guests, compliment them for attending the
ceremony and nice gifts.
When you learn that your guests really loved your wedding party the civility of the occasion, you become really blessed and fortunate.
