S&G = Sh*ts and Giggles
I'm a long time lurker (obvious, considering my low post count), but some of the most interesting posts for me involve those where people simply share their experiences (i.e. what has TK taught you, worst weddings attended, breaches in etiquette, etc.) - so I thought I'd start one of my own; one of which, I'm hoping, hasn't been done recently.
Something I realized quickly after joining TK is that my expectations as a guest vary substantially from my expectations as a host.
As a guest, I'm willing to forgive quite a few breaches in etiquette - cash bars don't really bother me, and gaps between ceremony and reception I can live with. Really, as long as I'm fed, watered and warm, I'll be happy.
As a host, my focus as really been on making sure my wedding is as convenient and accommodating as it can be for my guests. I'm cutting out things like videography to provide more food and alcohol. I couldn't abide by subjecting my guests to a cash bar or long gaps.
So how about you? Which etiquette faux-pas are you willing to overlook as a guest and which could you simply not abide by as host? Are there certain rules of etiquette that you could take or leave either way?
