Horror wedding guest: You should avoid these mistakes

As a guest, you logically don’t receive any other pieces of paper with a wedding invitation that explain the no-gos at a wedding reception, and yet there are quite a few that you have to take into account. After all, you want this day to be the most beautiful day of the bride and groom’s life and not to be the center of attention by attracting unpleasant attention.

Especially at a wedding party, where you don’t have each other under control or accidentally don’t follow one or two rules, even a long-standing friendship can be damaged. Therefore, one should avoid the following points when appearing at a couple’s celebration of love:

Unpunctuality
The big church door creaks and everyone is waiting for the bride, but the person who appears is you. Unpleasant is not an expression at all. Be there at least fifteen minutes before the wedding and, if possible, already in your seat to avoid situations like this.

Inappropriate clothing
If the invitation does not expressly mention a dress code, the following applies: fine thread, no jeans, no sneakers, no patterns that are too bright, but classic elegance. But it is particularly important that the women do not wear white, cream, champagne and off-white. White is reserved exclusively for the bride. Skirts that are too short and necklines that are too deep are also rather inappropriate at a wedding party.

Unannounced accompanying person
You are usually invited to a wedding plus one, but as a single the question often arises: Do I come alone or who do I bring with me? Since a celebration has to be well organized, prior agreement is required if, for example, you want to drag your new crush along. Under no circumstances should you spontaneously bring someone with you without prior agreement.

Time for games
Playing games at a wedding is a sensitive topic. Many bridal couples have no desire for such activities and before you spoil the most beautiful day of your life as a wedding guest with a spontaneous intervention, it is better to ask beforehand or to be sure that the idea will not go wrong.

Looking too deeply into the glass
Even though you should have fun as a wedding guest, you shouldn’t overdo it with alcohol. At a certain level, almost everyone just becomes unpleasant and noticeable. It doesn’t have to be that way, just a bit of tips is enough.

Take center stage
Even if you are the bride and groom’s best friend, dirty jokes, sexual innuendos and embarrassing stories do not belong in a wedding speech. You are not invited as a comedian, but as a wedding guest. Don’t force yourself to be the center of attention, but rather give a romantic, nice speech.

Blaspheme
Regardless of whether it’s gossiping with another guest about other wedding guests, about the food, the music, the outfit, the wedding dress, it doesn’t belong at a wedding. Even if the buffet is a disaster, don’t say anything. At this moment it cannot be helped and it only spoils the mood. Just stay positive.

Bad behavior in church
Many people like to get married in church and especially if you are not a believer yourself, a church wedding can present you with a bit of a challenge. Still, when the pastor tells you to stand up, you do so out of good manners. Of course, no one who is not a believer has to pray or sing along, but a little adjustment, as long as it is compatible with yourself, does no harm and you don’t stand out.

Inappropriate gifts
A wedding is the wrong time to give inappropriate gifts such as sex toys or baby clothes packaged as a joke as a wedding guest. Most couples announce in advance what they want, but if this isn’t the case, an activity for two as a voucher for the couple is always well received.
