You’d be surprised at how many ways someone can overstep the
decorum line at your wedding. And our society has a terribly long and
unforgiving memory. But just a few careful moves from your part can have you dancing
right through the process with all the charm and grace of a bridal couple.
Don’t forget to
include important details in the invitation card.
Unless you want to be a contender for the most annoyingly,
irresponsible bride/groom of the year, you’ll be sure to go through the details
of the invite like a sleuth on serial killer case.
Don’t forget to send
it out to anyone.
Weddings are family landmines, scattered with feelings that can go
off in a huge causality-causing explosion. Especially when you forget to invite
your grandmother’s second cousin by marriage’s daughter in law. Indian weddings
and invitations shouldn’t be taken lightly. Unless you want you’re wedding to
be talked about for ages for the wrong reasons.
Inviting co-workers.
Sure nobody’s expecting you to have the whole office mob over at
your wedding. But it requires a little bit of delicate handling, as people
might feel a little left out if you don’t invite them and keep discussing plans
with the others. Be a smart and diplomatic cookie if you don’t want to deal
with cold-n-uncooperative shoulders once you return from the honeymoon.
Putting a wrong time
on the invite.
A lot of couples tend to advance the time on the invite just
because they anticipate their guests to make a late entry. But that’s not cool.
You’re playing with people’s time that they can spend elsewhere. Respect it.
Inconvenient date and
time.
At the end of the day, it’s up to you when you want to get
married. But your guests would really appreciate it if you chose a convenient
date and time.
Skimping on the thank
you gifts.
A well-thought-of thank you gift is a very welcome thing.
Keeping people
waiting.
Sometimes the bride and bridegroom disappear after the ceremony
for a quickie wedding photoshoot. Well, that’s a “should not do”. When you’ve
invited people over, you must, must, MUST respect their time enough to be
around. If you need to do that shoot, accommodate it at the wedding venue where
people can feel like they are a part of it.
Forgetting to
feed/tip the vendors.
Often at our big wedding dos, the vendors are completely forgotten
in the mayhem and not accommodated in the plate numbers. May your wedding
largesse reach out to them as well?
Meet guests
personally.
Yes, we have the stand-and-grin-with-everyone photo session with
everyone. But it’d be great if you could actually socialise with them at a more
personal level.
