Yes, you’re excited about your Big Day. It’s easy to get caught up in all the attention, but manners are manners. Birkat Elyon has worked with couples for decades, supplying them with elegant, affordable cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings. Here are a few helpful reminders to make your wedding a great occasion not just for you, but for everyone involved.
MAKE YOUR GUESTS A PRIORITY
Ensure that your guests are well taken care of with food, drink, and comfortable surroundings throughout the event. Think about any dietary considerations as well as accessibility for anyone with mobility issues.
BE ON TIME
Your guests, as well as your vendors, are invested in providing you with a great day. Respect their time by arriving when you’re supposed to, both at the ceremony and the reception.
SKIP THE CASH BAR
You’re the host, so your guests shouldn’t have to pay for their drinks; experts agree that’s just…tacky. You can save money on booze by offering a selection of beer and wine, with a couple of signature cocktails.
PUT YOUR REGISTRY IN THE RIGHT PLACE
A lot of couples put their wedding gift registry info directly on the invitation. Instead, etiquette experts recommend putting it on your “save the date” notice or including it as a separate card tucked in with the invitation.
MIX UP THE SINGLES
Don’t put all your single friends at the same table; that feels like an awkward, forced date. Instead, think about the guests your single friends might most enjoy socializing with based on their interests and seat them there.
SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION
Your friends are investing their time (and sometimes money) in helping you have the perfect wedding. Show your appreciation for your bridesmaids or groomsmen with a little gift like a lovely CZ necklace or earrings, or a pair of monogrammed cufflinks.
