Wedding Wednesday – The 'Not Invited' Chat

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

What's the best way to tell someone that they aren't invited to my wedding?

Answer:

This is always a tough conversation, especially if you are talking to a relative. More than likely, your guest list has to accommodate your budget or the size of your venue. If you explain this to your friends or family, they will understand and appreciate your honesty. Tell them you would like to meet up with them after your honeymoon to catch up and show them your trip pictures, so that you can share your happiness with them in a special way.

Wedding Wednesday – Wedding Gift Amount

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

As a guest, how much should I plan to spend on a wedding gift?

Answer:

The newlyweds will appreciate anything you give them, of course! A good set of guidelines is to plan to spend about $50 or more on a wedding gift because this is a gift for two and a bigger event than a birthday. You can also split a big gift with a few friends or relatives that can keep your smaller budget but still able to give the couple something great!

Wedding Wednesday – Alcohol at the Reception?

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

My fiancee and I don't drink, but do we still need to offer alcohol at our reception?

Answer:

Having alcohol at your reception is completely up to you. It can be pricey and there are so many ways you can provide alcohol (cash bar, open bar, etc.). The deciding factor may ultimately be your budget, but if you and your future spouse aren't big fans of alcohol, you can opt for other drink options. Perhaps you only have enough champagne for the initial toast or, if champagne isn't your thing, you can toast with sparkling cider. It isn't necessary to have alcohol at your reception and the decision is ultimately yours!

Wedding Wednesday – Decline Ettiquette

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

What is the proper way to decline an invitation to a wedding?

Answer:

The best way to decline a wedding invitation is to do it as soon as possible and, if you can, in person or by phone. Make sure to thank them for the invite and explain the circumstance while still keeping it short and sweet. If you aren't very close, the RSVP should suffice. Do keep in mind that it is customary to send a gift, even if you aren't able to attend the wedding.

Wedding Wednesday – Dinner Choice

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

If I’m having a seated dinner at the wedding reception is it necessary to have a choice of entrée?

Answer:

No, that is not a must. A suggestion is to have an option for guests that are vegetarians or have dietary restrictions. If you decide to do this, don't forget to let your caterer know that you want these options.

Wedding Wednesday – Rehearsal Dinner Guest List

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

Do I invite every guest’s plus one to the rehearsal dinner?  

Answer:

The rehearsal dinner is usually a gathering of your close friends and family, so you don't have to invite anyone's plus one. You can invite your guest's date if you would like, but don’t feel forced to do so.

Wedding Wednesday – Who Gets A Boutonniere or Corsage?

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

Who else receives a boutonniere, other than the groomsmen and the groom?

Answer:

You can give corsages and boutonnieres to close family who aren’t bridesmaids and groomsmen. Such as parents of the bride and groom, and maybe grandparents. It can also be a nice gesture to give a corsage or boutonniere to someone helping out at the wedding as a way of saying  thank you.
