The couple has spent months (sometimes years) planning the perfect day.<\/p> <p>When guests show up late, ignore the dress code, or bring uninvited dates, it can throw everything off.

RSVP on time<\/em><\/h3> <p>The simplest way to be a dream guest? Respond by the deadline. Couples need your answer to finalize seating, catering, and a hundred other details. If you can\u2019t attend, let them know promptly \u2014 it\u2019s just as important as saying yes.<\/p> <h3><em>2. Dress for the wedding &#8211; not just your closet<\/em><\/h3> <p>Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/invitations-stationery\">invitation<\/a> for a dress code. No guidance? Semi?formal or cocktail attire is usually a safe choice. Avoid white (or anything close), overly casual wear (jeans, flip?flops), or anything that steals the spotlight.<\/p> <h3><em>3. Arrive early (but not too early)<\/em><\/h3> <p>Aim for about 15 minutes before the ceremony. You\u2019ll have time to find your seat, say hello, and settle in. Walking in mid?vows is awkward for everyone &#8211; especially the couple.<\/p> <h3><em>4. Bring a gift &#8211; big or small<\/em><\/h3> <p>A gift shows appreciation. Whether you pick from the registry, give cash, or choose something thoughtful, aim to send or bring it within a few weeks of the big day.<\/p> <h3><em>5. Respect the seating plan<\/em><\/h3> <p>There\u2019s a reason you\u2019re at Table 9. Don\u2019t swap seats unless there\u2019s a real need. If you don\u2019t know anyone nearby, treat it as an opportunity to meet someone new.<\/p> <h3><em>6. Put your phone away during the ceremony<\/em><\/h3> <p>Even if it\u2019s not an \u201cunplugged\u201d event, resist the urge to text, scroll, or take photos. Be present! It\u2019s one of the best gifts you can give. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/wedding-photographers\">wedding photographer<\/a> will look after the pics.<\/p> <h3><em>7. Celebrate without overdoing it<\/em><\/h3> <p>Dance, laugh, and enjoy the open bar! Just keep it classy. A little restraint ensures you\u2019ll be remembered for the right reasons.<\/p> <p><h3 class=\"related-posts-title toc_hide\">You May Also Be Interested In<\/h3><ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/what-to-write-in-a-wedding-card-message-ideas\"><img alt=\"how to choose your bridal party, 2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwNSUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtV2hhdC10by1Xcml0ZS1pbi1hLVdlZGRpbmctQ2FyZDAwMy00MjV4NDI1LmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtaD0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/what-to-write-in-a-wedding-card-message-ideas\">What to Write in a Wedding Card: 50+ Message Ideas<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wedding-captions-for-instagram\"><img alt=\"how to choose your bridal party, 3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwMiUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtV2VkZGluZy1DYXB0aW9ucy1mb3ItSW5zdGFncmFtLWNvbXAtNDI1eDQyNS5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWg9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wedding-captions-for-instagram\">Wedding Captions for Instagram: 150+ Ideas Organized by Photo Type<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-your-bridal-party\"><img alt=\"how to choose your bridal party, 4\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwMSUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtQnJpZGFsLVBhcnR5LTQyNXg0MjUucG5nIiBkYXRhLXc9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1oPSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-your-bridal-party\">How to Choose Your Bridal Party: A Wedding Planning Guide<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p> <h2>5 Wedding Guest Don\u2019ts to Avoid at All Costs<\/h2> <h3><em>1. Don\u2019t wear white<\/em><\/h3> <p>Unless the couple has said otherwise, leave white (and ivory, cream, champagne) alone. Let the person in white be the centre of attention.<\/p> <h3><em>2. Don\u2019t bring an uninvited plus-One<\/em><\/h3> <p>If your invitation is addressed to you only, it\u2019s a solo invite. Guest lists are usually limited by budget or space, so check before assuming you can bring a date.<\/p> <h3><em>3. Don\u2019t post without permission<\/em><\/h3> <p>Some couples prefer to keep their wedding offline. Ask before posting, and even if you have the green light, wait until they\u2019ve shared their own photos first.<\/p> <h3><em>4. Don\u2019t overdo the alcohol<\/em><\/h3> <p>Enjoy the drinks, but know your limits. A tipsy toast? Fine. Being that guest in every wedding story for years to come? Not ideal.<\/p> <h3><em>5. Don\u2019t interrupt key moments<\/em><\/h3> <p>During vows, speeches, or the first dance, keep chatter and movement to a minimum. These are once?in?a?lifetime moments! Don\u2019t be the distraction.<\/p> <hr \/> <h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2> <div class=\"accordion acc-container 123\"><div class=\"accordion-item acc\"><div class=\"acc-head\"><p>How many bridesmaids is too many?<\/p><\/div><div class=\"acc-content\" style=\"display:none\"><p>There's no hard limit, but most wedding parties have 3-5 people per side.

You can have co-maids of honour, no maid of honour, or a \"best person\" instead. Modern wedding parties are flexible.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-item acc\"><div class=\"acc-head\"><p>What if someone asks why they weren&#039;t chosen for your bridal party?<\/p><\/div><div class=\"acc-content\" style=\"display:none\"><p>Be honest but kind. Explain that you had to make difficult choices based on your current relationships and wedding size. Reassure them the friendship still matters.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-item acc\"><div class=\"acc-head\"><p>Can you have family members in your bridal party?<\/p><\/div><div class=\"acc-content\" style=\"display:none\"><p>Absolutely.
