There is a saying that to err is human, and it certainly is, but sometimes it is better to learn from others, as your mistakes. Therefore, if you are planning to be a wedding guest in the near future, we recommend that you read - wedding guest allowances mistakes that will help to avoid them.

1. MISS THE WEDDING CEREMONY!

A wedding ceremony is really not the place to be late and the time to be late. Arrival at the wedding ceremony even with 15 minutes late is unforgivable. If you think that you will be able to sit in the back unnoticed, then you are probably wrong - someone will definitely notice and you will get more than one judgmental glance.

2. DO NOT TURN OFF THE PHONE SOUND!

What could be more embarrassing, if at the moment when the young couple say Yes to each other! words, sounds of the phone call? Maybe someone will smile, but it will definitely spoil the mood, so the phone sounds (and also too much turning off a loud buzzer) when entering the wedding ceremony venue is a must have !

3. BOYS THE BRIDE WITH QUESTIONS!

Unless you're best friends, there's no excuse for the bride the night before the wedding would send a text message with practical questions about the wedding. The week before the wedding is emotional for any bride it's a busy time, so practical nuances such as which shoes to wear or which road to drive are clarified to the wedding organizer, ushers or other guests.

4. MAKE CHANGES TO THE GUEST LIST!

True or unbelievable, but it really happens - there are people who even decide to come to a wedding with someone, which is not invited. If an invitation is received for one person, without a companion, even if you have met the night before the love of a lifetime, one should still come to the wedding alone. Changes in the guest list for a few days or even a week until the wedding, it will be an unnecessary burden for both the new couple and the organizers.

This same rule also applies to children - if the newlyweds have already indicated in the invitation that the wedding guests there will be only adults on the list, you should accept that and not show up without warning with the offspring of the family.

5. WEAR A WHITE DRESS!

At any wedding, there is only one star of the evening and that is the bride. Even if you have bought the most beautiful dress in white color, however, it should be left for other occasions and not overshadow the bride by wearing white or pearl-colored clothing.

6. INTERFERES WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND FILMMAKER!

Of course, every wedding guest wants to capture the feelings of the unforgettable day in photos, but it would not be polite constantly holding your smartphone up in the air to film or take photos. Often the desire of guests to take pictures can prevent the hired wedding photographer and videographers from taking the best shots.

Also, if you use a camera during the ceremony, don't forget to turn off the flash so as not to dazzle newlyweds or pastor.

7. AFTER THE CEREMONY EAT AN INDECENT MANY SNACKS!

Often after the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds take care of the first glass of champagne for a toast and small snacks guests. Although appetizers are for guests, they shouldn't just be a way to spend time around the appetizer plate. Let to avoid excessive hunger, you should eat a little before the ceremony (this way it will stomach growling at particularly inopportune moments is also spared).

8. SPEND TOO MUCH TIME AT THE BAR!

The fact that weddings usually have an open bar and free drinks does not mean that already before midnight, you must try all the drinks available at the bar. However, every guest should monitor their alcohol consumption, to avoid inappropriate behavior being what other wedding guests will remember you for.

Recommendation from a professional bartender - the presence of a bartender at a wedding also ensures a kind of alcohol control (at least you will be sure that some guest does not grab a bottle of whiskey and lazily drink it somewhere alone).

9. WEAR INAPPROPRIATE SHOES!

The highest shoes for ladies will not be suitable either for an outdoor wedding or for dancing properly on the dance floor. Low heel shoes should be with every guest and your feet will also thank you if you put them on before you go in boisterous dances.

10. SPEND THE ENTIRE EVENING LOOKING AT THE SCREEN OF THE SMARTPHONE!

Weddings are a time when you should forget about social activities on the Internet, so you shouldn't do it all evening, how to watch on a smartphone screen. Instead, it's better to get to know the other wedding guests by dancing properly and rejoice in the love of loved ones! Instagram and Facebook will also be tomorrow, but the wedding celebration will pass faster than you want!
