Wedding Etiquettes

I want to share this important paragraph that I found recently in an article about etiquette:

Etiquette are social rules that each culture or society adopts over time. Some are written and some are unwritten. Etiquette is meant to help us interact with one another as we hold to common moral, social and community values in an atmosphere of mutual respect. As the world becomes more connected and we interact increasingly with people of other countries, languages and cultures, knowing learning and observing etiquette is increasingly important. (Bridal Book)

The bottom line is that on your wedding day, you should be happy and have things go the way you like....However, at the same time you must be gracious, courteous and fallow rules about etiquette.

Here are some few tips to keep in mind:

Your invitations:
You should send those at least 6 to 8 weeks before the wedding date. This will give your guests plenty time of notice. If you send your invitation late, will result in guests not be able to make it do to the other commitments...

Thank you cards:
you must send and try to personalize by handwriting them...You should respond with a thank you cared within 4-6 weeks of receiving the gift.

Budget:
Your budget should be realistic...This is a once in a lifetime event so remember to keep in mind. Your timeline should also be realistic. Don't try to do too much in too short a space of time.

Remember, it's your wedding, the most romantic and important day of your life...so relax and enjoy it!
