I don't expect my wedding guests to read this but in case they do I hope they take this to heart.
5 Rules for Wedding Guests:
1.
2.
Do not bring a guest unless stated in your invitation. Here's a thing, it is very expensive to celebrate a wedding. I'd have a long list of the things that the bride and groom would pay for so don't bring an extra head because yes it's gonna come with a price. For example, my fiance and I purchased the package for 100 guests, we are expecting 120 guests (estimated). If we excess the 100 guests we will have to pay them per head ---- Php 2,000 for the menu; Php 1,000 for the lechon; Php 1,000 for alcoholic drinks; so we will be paying an extra Php 4,000 plus for 1 guest that you'll be bringing, so in respect to the couple DO NOT BRING ANYONE unless a plus one is stated in your invitation. I do not tolerate exceptions because if somebody knew about it, the rule will be questionable and other guests would insist in adding their plus as well. This applies to boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses/children/siblings/friends.
3.
Prepare a gift for the couple. Your presence is gift enough, uhm no. Wedding means the couple are starting a life together so it is a must that you bring with you a gift be it monetary or an item to help them start up.
4.
Participate in the program especially during the games or if the couple asked you to give a speech. If you plan on becoming a kill joy it is best for you to not attend at all rather than spoiling the celebration.
5.
Don't be a grumpy. Never criticize anything that is disappointing in the party. Instead on instilling negative vibes you can help by making the mood lighter for everyone. For all we know, the couple are already stressed out and a nitpicking guest will only add fuel to the fire. I remember attending a wedding of my friend, the food has taken so long to prepare and couldn't accommodate the "hungry" guests. And the grumpy guest started shouting how disappointing the food service were. I mean that's really disrespectful to the couple. I know we were all hungry at that time but sometimes certain situations happen and we don't have any control over it. Since we are all guests it is better for us to behave properly, we didn't pay for it anyway so we don't have any right to get mad or whatsoever.
