You text the bride or groom on their wedding day

You might want to find out something very important, but trust me, the bride and groom have better things to do than give you directions to the wedding venue. It’s even more annoying if you’re texting or calling to ask for advice on what to wear. First of all, that’s what dress codes are for. Secondly, they already have a lot of things to worry about, you shouldn’t add one more issue to the list.

If you do text them, send another text message to inform them that you’ve solved the problem (even if you didn’t) or ask someone else for help. Let them enjoy their big day without any interference!

 

You RSVP for one and then bring a date

If you’ve found a new partner too close to the wedding date, it might be better to fly solo this time. Don’t get me wrong! There’s nothing weird about bringing a date to a wedding, but if you’ve already RSVPed for one, you might throw things like food, beverage and guest party favors off balance, explains Elaine Swann, founder of The Swann School of Protocol.

 

You forget to turn your phone on silent during the ceremony

There are a few things worse than your ringtone interrupting the emotional moment when the bride and groom say their I dos. Unfortunately, these things can happen, even to you. If you do forget to turn your phone on silent and everyone hears your “Mission Impossible” ringtone, try to turn off your phone as quickly as possible and focus on the ceremony. Your mistake will determine others to be more careful and turn off their own phones.
