What are frequently asked questions for wedding guests?

The top question is always about what to wear. Give a simple dress code with examples, and say whether it is formal, smart casual or themed. If you are unsure about your own outfit, ask the couple or the bridal party for guidance.

Children come next. Some weddings are adults only, and couples should say this kindly and early. If children are welcome, ask whether they are invited to the ceremony, the meal or the whole day. This helps parents plan childcare.

RSVP rules are important. Say how to reply, the deadline and what details you need, such as meal choices or song requests. If you have not heard back by the deadline, a polite follow-up is normal.

Gifts are another common question. Many couples set up a gift list or a cash fund, and some prefer contributions to a honeymoon or house. If you are unsure, a card with a personal note is always welcome. Check whether the couple wants physical gifts brought to the venue or sent beforehand.

Travel and accommodation questions follow. Guests often ask about room blocks, parking, train links and whether they should stay overnight. A wedding website with a transport and stay section answers most of these.

Some guests also ask about the order of events, whether plus-ones are allowed, and how to send a last-minute RSVP. Keep these answers in one place so you do not have to repeat them.
