Understanding Proper Wedding Etiquette
Author: Wade Robins

Planning your wedding can be stressful for both you and your
fiancé. More often than not, planning a wedding can end up in
family arguments and disagreements. One of the best ways that
you can avoid this headache while planning your wedding is to
follow the proper wedding etiquette. Your mother may have a
very different idea about planning a wedding than your future
mother-in-law. On the other hand, perhaps you may want to have
a nontraditional wedding, when your fiancé wants something
formal and traditional. Wedding etiquette can help you make
sure that nobody gets left out were offended when planning your
wedding.

Who Pays for What

One of the first things that you may consider when planning
your wedding is who is supposed to pay for what. If you look at
traditional wedding etiquette, it states that the bride's
parents should be responsible for almost every aspect of the
wedding, while the groom's parents should pay for the rehearsal
dinner. Times however, have changed and this traditional wedding
etiquette is not always the case for every couple. The proper
way to plan your wedding is to sit down with both your parents
and your fiancé's parents and decide on how the wedding will be
paid for. Many couples choose to pay for their wedding on their
own. This is especially common for older couples getting
married for the first or second time.

Invitations

Your invitations to your wedding can also prove to be a
headache. Proper wedding etiquette states that the bride's
parents name should be listed on the wedding invitation.
However, how about the grooms parents, or even stepparents?
Luckily, the days of extremely traditional weddings are over,
and you can get away with wording your invitations however you
choose. Many brides and grooms choose to list all parents on
their wedding invitation or if they are paying for the wedding
themselves, they will not add their parents names at all. For

Thank You Cards

Of course, another important part of proper wedding etiquette
will be your thank you cards after your honeymoon is over. You
should always take the time to hand write. Thank you cards to
anyone who gave you a gift, no matter how small or how large.
It is inconsiderate to not take the time to send a thank you
card. Proper wedding etiquette states that you have one month
to send a thank you cards after your wedding.

When you understand proper wedding etiquette, you can make sure
that you are planning your wedding properly and that nobody
feels left out or hurt.
