Perhaps this point is directly related to etiquette, but the truth is that it is also a question of education.

While it may seem to the guest that ‘because you are who you are’, the couple may make an exception, the truth is that the rules are for everyone and Put the couple in a position to explain why they decided to do something In a concrete way, it has bad taste. If the bride and groom do not want children, the guests’ choice must be respected. If they choose a specific place to catch a bus, they are not going to change that point just because someone asks them. If the bride requests that no guests wear pink, this color cannot be used. If benches are reserved for witnesses, other people cannot sit on them. It is the couple’s day and their request must be respected.

While there were people in the past who preferred to wait until the wedding day to personally present gifts to the couple, the truth is that for security reasons and to provide convenience to the couple, this is no longer the case. because Many providers ask the couple to pay everything a week before the wedding.It is important that this detail (financial or material) anticipates that week’s stress and final preparations. Besides, it is also polite to inform the couple of the details if the guests do not come to the wedding. Although this last custom is dying out, it conveys gratitude despite not being able to attend.

Guests may be excited to give a painting with history, but without knowing the bride and groom’s tastes and the style of their home, it’s taking too much risk. If the couple is creating a wedding registry, it will be easy to find a piece that excites them and fits that guest’s budget. And so everyone will be happy.
