What are 5 basic etiquettes?

Wedding etiquette is really just about making others feel comfortable. Start with your RSVP. Reply by the date asked so the couple can plan seating and catering accurately. If your circumstances change, let them know as soon as possible.

Dress for the occasion. A summer garden wedding calls for different clothes than a winter evening reception. Follow any dress code on your invitation, and choose shoes you can stand and dance in. Arrive on time, ideally a few minutes early. This avoids blocking views and lets you relax before the ceremony begins.

During the service, silence your phone and do not take photos unless the couple has said this is welcome. Many couples hire a photographer and would rather you be present in the moment. Finally, send your gift or card before or shortly after the wedding. If you are giving cash or a cheque, a handwritten note is a lovely touch.
