What are 10 examples of good etiquette?

Etiquette is about the unwritten rules that keep events running smoothly. At a UK wedding, these ten examples will stand you in good stead. First, RSVP by the date on the invitation, and tell the couple about any dietary requirements. Second, follow the dress code, whether it is black tie, morning dress, or something casual. Third, arrive on time for the ceremony, and if you are late, slip in quietly at the back. Fourth, turn your phone off or put it on silent for the whole ceremony. Fifth, do not make a speech unless the couple has asked you to. Sixth, keep your table tidy, and do not leave glasses or plates in awkward places. Seventh, mingle with guests you do not know, rather than staying with your own group all evening. Eighth, thank the hosts, the couple, and their families before you leave. Ninth, respect dietary needs, even if you think a vegan option sounds odd. Tenth, leave at a reasonable time, especially if the venue has a curfew or staff need to clear up. Etiquette is not about being stuffy. It is about making sure everyone feels included and that the day runs without unnecessary stress.
