Hi sirfunkydave,
Thank you for your question.

"So, the most important thing for people to know about wedding
etiquette is that every rule of wedding etiquette can be boiled down
to a very simple concept: Never do anything which has even the
slightest potential to offend, embarrass, or hurt the feelings of a
wedding guest, family member, gift giver, or bridal party attendant.
Conduct yourself with kindness, graciousness, consideration, grace,
and humility, even - or rather especially - during those moments when
circumstances make this most challenging. And finally, avoid any form
of selfish behavior and always be respectful and appreciative of
attendants, helpers, financial contributors, and guests. This is
wedding etiquette in a nutshell; by faithfully following these
guidelines at all times the bride will conduct herself impeccably, and
face little risk of committing an etiquette blunder."

"Planning your wedding there are many things you have to think about.
To follow etiquette is extremely important, you do not want the
biggest day of your life ruined by a mistake that could have been
avoided. Knowing the proper etiquette becomes very important. This
essay tries to take up the more important things to remember."
