Etiquette For Wedding Invitations
Understanding Proper Wedding Etiquette
Planning your wedding can be stressful for both you and your fianc . More often than not, planning a wedding can end up in family arguments and disagreements. One of the best ways that you can avoid this headache while planning your wedding is to follow the proper wedding etiquette. Your mother may have a very different idea about planning a wedding than your future mother-in-law. On the other hand, perhaps you may want to have a nontraditional wedding, when your fianc wants something formal and traditional. Wedding etiquette can help you make sure that nobody gets left out were offended when planning your wedding.
Who Pays for What
One of the first things that you may consider when planning your wedding is who is supposed to pay for what. If you look at traditional wedding etiquette, it states that the bride s parents should be responsible for almost every aspect of the wedding, while the groom s parents should pay for the rehearsal dinner. Times however, have changed and this traditional wedding etiquette is not always the case for every couple. The proper way to plan your wedding is to sit down with both your parents and your fianc 's parents and decide on how the wedding will be paid for. Many couples choose to pay for their wedding on their own. This is especially common for older couples getting married for the first or second time.
Invitations
Your invitations to your wedding can also prove to be a headache. Proper wedding etiquette states that the bride's parents name should be listed on the wedding invitation. However, how about the grooms parents, or even stepparents? Luckily, the days of extremely traditional weddings are over, and you can get away with wording your invitations however you choose. Many brides and grooms choose to list all parents on their wedding invitation or if they are paying for the wedding themselves, they will not add their parents names at all.
Thank You Cards
Of course, another important part of proper wedding etiquette will be your thank you cards after your honeymoon is over. You should always take the time to hand write. Thank you cards to anyone who gave you a gift, no matter how small or how large. It is inconsiderate to not take the time to send a thank you card. Proper wedding etiquette states that you have one month to send a thank you cards after your wedding.
When you understand proper wedding etiquette, you can make sure that you are planning your wedding properly and that nobody feels left out or hurt.
wedding dilemma??My neighbour..same age..same job.. has dog like myself.. is getting married in 4 weeks time.?
We "converse" as neigbours do, but I wouldn't say we are great friends, and we tend to talk about work/dogs/neighbourhood .. as that's what we have in common. Months and months ago..she said her wedding invitations were ready and one was there for me. As far as I'm aware, the etiquette for wedding invitations are that you get them 6 weeks prior to the wedding. On her last phone call (ages ago) she said "ah i'll get round to getting it to you.. but at least you know the date"!!!NOW..my dilemma! I'm feeling slightly peeved with this! I feel like I'm an extra to make up numbers, at the wedding and to supply a gift! Am I wrong to think it's "rude" not to have received an invitation by now? It's not going in the post as she lives a few yards from me..so it's not lost in the post.
Am I wrong to feel, it's not my place and go and pick up the invitation from her house?? At what point do I just decide "not to go"? Sorry peeps but this is bugging me..any advice appreciated! x
PS..just to ask also..as someone said something re this.. if you are only invited to the evening do, as opposed to the full wedding.. do you /should you still take a gift? I was planning on getting something..but what is the etiquette?!?! And the reason this is "bugging" me..is that a/ i need to sort our my calender if I'm defo going b/ need confirm dog sitter c/ need confirm my date (a friend who is coming with me) and d/ I need to know if I've to get prezi or not. I'm not stressed re this..but it's just bugging me a little! Many thanks for some great answers so far...and omg if I go...I hope there's no fighting. Drinking and dancing..that'll doodle do me!!!
PPS..as it's a little far away there is a bus running to the wedding and reception..so it's not something you can just turn up at anyways. I just feel that in order for me to DEFO confirm I am going..i should have the invite as opposed to "oh you know the date". I have no arrangements re the bus that is being put on etc, without her inviting me and telling me!!! Wedding is 9th September.. we're now 13th August..what should be my deadline to say NO!! I'd like to go to see her etc and the place is nice, where they are getting wed.. but I'd like time to make my plans. SORRY TO RANT ON PEEPS >> SORRY!!!
