Wedding Ceremony: Seating Divorced Parents and Grandparents

Wedding Etiquette Question: My parents are divorced and remarried and have been for the past 15 years. This means I have 4 sets of grandparents on my side of the family alone. I am getting married on 8/15/09 and need to know the proper wedding etiquette and traditional ways of walking down the isle. Who walks first…the grooms parents or the brides and in what order?

Wedding Shower Etiquette

Wedding Shower Etiquette: Keeping The Love

What could be better than being in love, surrounded by your closest friends and family, and receiving beautiful gifts from those who know you best? A wedding shower is a lovely event full of both tradition and creativity that is only rivaled by the wedding ceremony itself. Just like a wedding, a shower is an intimate celebration of the beginning of a life together. Good food, gifts, and loved ones–what’s not to like?!

Wedding Shower Gifts
Nevertheless, being the honoree at a wedding shower has its responsibilities. Wedding shower etiquette is something many brides-to-be find intimidating and sometimes a little outdated. However, by adhering to a few tried-and-true rules and suggestions you can ensure that everyone (including you) will have a wonderful time at this special event!

The first thing you need to consider is that, although someone else is planning the party, you as the bride need to have a say in a few key areas such as the guest lists. By keeping a master list for yourself no one will be invited to more than one shower and certainly only those on your wedding invitation list will be in attendance at your showers. Programs like Microsoft Excel are ideal for keeping track of your guests, their contact information, and what shower they attended. You can also add what gift they gave you to make writing thank-you cards a breeze!

When it comes to inviting people to your wedding shower they must first be invited to your wedding and Continue reading "Wedding Shower Etiquette" »

ETIQUETTE FOR WEDDING INVITATIONS

The Etiquette of Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations can set the tone and style of a wedding. The wedding invitations also indicate how formal the occasion will be. Selecting just the right wording and stationery for the wedding invitation are important decisions. Wedding invitation etiquette helps to clarify what the wedding invitation should include. A wedding invitation should state the following:

  • Who is getting married
  • Who is hosting or giving the wedding
  • The date
  • The time
  • The location

Wedding etiquette should not be thought of as a list of rigid rules. A knowledge of wedding etiquette is simply knowing, or being aware of, how to deal with different situations in a practical and useful manner.

Examples of Wedding Invitations

Below are examples of the traditional wording for wedding invitations. There are also examples of Continue reading "ETIQUETTE FOR WEDDING INVITATIONS" »
