Wearing white
Don't do it under any circumstances. White is reserved for the
bride and it is her day.
Bringing guests
If the invitation does not say "and
guest" or "and family" the person the invitation
was addressed to is the only one invited.
The wedding gift
Don't bring it to the wedding, mail it
to the bride and/or her parents in advance, even if it is a
check. Gifts can get lost at the ceremony and lugging it around
is no fun either. Gifts should be sent before the
wedding takes place. The whole thing about waiting a year after
the wedding is hooey. If the wedding doesn't happen, they will
return your gifts.
The ceremony
Attending the marriage ceremony is not optional.
The whole point of a wedding is to watch the actual event
take place.
Cameras
Take pictures at the beginning
and at the end of the ceremony, but no where in between.
They hired a photographer for a reason.
The reception
If you RSVPed to
the celebration, you should remain at the party at
least until the wedding cake has been cut. After they smoosh
each other in the face with cake goodness, you can leave if
you really have a bug up your butt.
Good-byes
Wish the wedding couple well, congratulate the bride & grooms
families and thank the people who paid for the whole shebang.
Then and only then can you leave.
