This should all be common sense however, there are people today that have ZERO common sense.
Great video! Can’t believe I almost showed up with a gift! I wouldn’t have even thought about that!
My uncle is letting kids sorry if this is rude sir
£20 is an insult? We’re not all made of money.
spannende welt, in der ihr lebt
Well i dont have rich friends and nobody wants to lobe me so I'll proabably never use this info. But its still fun to watch at 12am
In my experience the best guest is one that isn’t remembered. Usually the only ones people remember are the idiots.
besides if you cannot do the whole event due to schedule issue you can always congratulate them later perhaps throw them a party perhaps it's less formal but it shows something
The not bringing Children is a really difficult one. I personally would not want Children at My Wedding as i would be distracted and stressed by what they might or might not do. i have seen as a Verger, so many parents missing most of the Service because they have had to take a Child out who is bored and frustrated and been up for ages and still got a long day ahead. I feel for them so it would be no children just so the Parents could unwind and have a day to themselves.
What if you have a long journey home and aren't staying nearby, when is it decent to make your farewells and departures?
This was a helpful video. For my wedding, I was asked by a wedding guest if they could bring their canine companion to our outdoor wedding. I had never met her, so I declined. After the fact, I finally did meet her, and she was untrained and high energy, which was mostly not her fault due to her age and breed type. I know not all pets are this way, but I do know that all possibilities exist. If your pet is well trained and a good boy or girl, please make sure to mention that or even invite the couple to meet if that could be a possibility. Just know that there is a chance the couple can decline your request, so be sure to respectfully understand that.
Thank you!
Honestly I would never ask my guests to go out of their budget; but this is where an investment like a sewing machine comes in handy. I've never seen nor felt more positive reactions when receiving or giving a nicely hand made gift. Especially something small and practical. Also caring for the planet, I prefer something reclaimed, compostable (like a plantable card)! Essential, low paid workers go to weddings too and they often have to take unpaid time off, if they're even allowed time off at all.
In the US it IS expected to have an open bar. Not having liquor is acceptable but a cash bar is not.
Wedding always q difficult exercice to make sure everyone happy. For my wedding we have hire baby-sitter so parents could enjoy. My only regret is that although there was a hotel 3 minutes away from the venue and that i have negociate a deal and advertise it a lot befkre and also during the day only one couple have book a room there other drive home with a bit of alchool in their blood…. for dress code will good to have a complete video of do and don't….
please. …. your tie.
God bless
OK thanks
No 20 isn't normal it's 50-100 per group
Thanks for the advice Daniel Larusso
Great video. To be honest, I thought this was common knowledge, but I do understand that not all families are the same/don’t emphasize on traditional rules like this.
However, I was shocked at the lack of knowledge a handful of our guests showed.. very disappointing for a bride. Luckily, I still got to marry the man of my dreams!

In Turkish culture, it is expected to give some amount of gold to the married couple. It varies from 1gram to 40gram.
And the amount is determined by your wealth and how close is your friendship with either party.
And if you're going to get wasted please do it in the after party😬
Wow, ich wusste nicht, dass du aus Deutschland bist!
An example of women who don't follow the dress code are the skimpy ones waiting to catch the bouquet.
I went to a wedding in the mid 1990s. The couple had a "buffet" with picnic foods, subs, snacks. 🙄. The wedding had approx 150 guests, family. I thought it was a bit tacky.
Good points; about 30-40% of the ettiqute videos content seem like things hes seen or incidents that ticked him off. Lol…
I have a question, but not sure where to ask it . My sister is getting married at the end of the month and I am one of the groomsman. I have never met the groom or his family as I live in Montana and she is in Alabama and I don't want to offend anyone. Now my question is can I refuse to participate in the garter toss? I am not only single, but the kind of single that has quit on relationships of the romantic kind entirely and resents weddings and many wedding traditions. I don't dance, go out, and don't want to ruin the wedding bring the mood to a halt because they will tell I would rather not even be there to begin with. So would it be wrong for the sake of everyone's happiness just avoid the situation by polietly declining to get involved?
Mostly great suggestions, but the only one I sort of went "WTF?" on was the one about gifts. Gifts, by definition, are never owed, and in the same vein, they are not supposed to be "payment" for their invitation/reception dinner, and that mentality (common, sadly) is tacky. You give what you can and what you like… and a tasteful, thoughtful inexpensive gift is never an "insult." A lovely framed photo of the couple would be something special, and costs very little.
Great video!!
