My wedding is getting closer ever day.
There are a lot of things I knew about ettiquette for weddings prior to being engaged, like: no cash bars, invite significant others, do not ask for cash, don't put registration information on invitations, etc.
There are some things I really did not know until more recently, like: some people think showing a video during a reception is rude if everything else shuts down (I'm showing a video but it will be part of the background. Look or don't.), it's not ok to help plan your own parties except the guest list (I haven't had any prewedding parties so I learned this in time!), etc.
Some people told me they think buffets are rude because you don't care enough to let your guests sit down the whole time. I prefer buffets since, as a vegetarian, it's hard to eat a good meal at a plated dinner. Glad I learned that while some don't like buffets, they aren't rude.
My point is, I feel like I learned things in time and I am grateful for that. Are there any other mistakes you or someone you know made without realizing that it shouldn't be done that way? Thank you for helping me avoid pitfalls.
