WEDDING DAY ETIQUETTE DEMYSTIFIED

So many time-honored “rules” surround weddings. Can I tell my guests what to wear? Should I tell my guests to leave their phones in their pockets? Do I need to invite all the kiddos in the family?

Today I'm exploring the reasoning behind and need for some of this traditional wedding etiquette mumbo jumbo. Of course, these are suggestions, and sometimes rules are meant to be broken, but they act as great guidelines should any questions come up.

Below, I will answer the following tricky questions:

• Should my wedding guests have a plus one on the invitation?
  
• Do I have to invite kids to my wedding?
• Wedding dress codes
• Should I give my wedding guests my registry information?
• Is it okay for my wedding guests to RSVP online?
• Do I need to include my parents' names on the wedding invitation?
• Do I really need an inner and outer envelope for the invitation?
• Should I include postage on the RSVP envelope for my guests?
• Do I have to give my guests directions to my ceremony and reception?
• Do I need to greet my wedding guests after the ceremony?
• Is it okay to ban cell phones from my wedding ceremony or reception?
• Do I have to send thank you cards to my wedding guests? Is it rude to skip thank you cards?

Relax, and let’s dive in! ​
