Are you ready for the upcoming wedding season? You can’t wait to celebrate together with your best friends on the most important day of their lives, right? Don’t forget to keep the following tips in mind as you’ll have some responsabilities as a wedding guest too. See below what you should know when invited to a wedding reception.
Plus One
Always read the wedding invitation carefully! If you have said you’d attend the event alone, do not show up with the person you just started dating. Wedding receptions require precise planning, and the number of guests is an essential part of it.
What to Wear
Some couples like to specify the desirable dress code for their wedding day. If this is not the case, you should be aware of the basic rules of wedding guest attires: don’t wear anything white, and you’d better avoid black and red clothing too.

Be on Time
You can’t be late from such an important event as your friend’s big day, right? Check in advance how much time you need to get ready and arrive to the venue. It’s good to know that wedding guests usually arrive 20 minutes before the ceremony so that they have time to find a seat.
Wedding Gift
There are some who write a wedding gift list for their big day. If your friends have listed what they need, you’d better abide their wishes, and pick something from the list you’re happy to give. Without a wedding gift list, it’s most likely that the couple need nothing else than money since a wedding is an (expensive!) symbol of their new lives together, so they might save for a new home or the honeymoon.
Let’s Eat
If you have a food allergy, tell the wedding couple before the big day so that they don’t have to organize a special menu for you last minute. Notify them if you conduct a meat free or vegan diet too! They want everyone to feel as good as possible on the wedding day, so don’t make a fuss to no purpose.
