Weddings are beautiful and a great place to have lots of fun, network and socialize. So it is quite necessary to be on your best behaviour. As a wedding guest, you have responsibilities too.
Here are five ways to ensure you are a stellar guest at a friend’s wedding;
Be On-Time
In a place where ‘African Time’ can be a second skin, try to be on time for your friend. It shows that you value the things that are most important to them. If you find that you're late to events all the time, show that you can compromise by coming on time.
Do Not Bring Uninvited Guests
Just because you are familiar with the bride or groom, it does not mean that you can create a personal guest list without letting them know. It will be polite to let them know ahead of time that you will be coming with another guest.
Follow The Dress Code
Nowadays, many people do not fancy Aso- Ebis and will prefer to slay some other way. However, if your friend insists on Aso -ebi, you will have to make compromises. Therefore get that Asoebi and sew to your perfect taste.
Stay Calm
Often times, it might be tempting to use the "I am a friend of the bride/groom card" especially when you feel you are not getting the treatment you deserve. It's important to stay calm in this case. You should also ensure that you don't take too much alcohol in order not to create a scene as that will surely go down in history.
Positivity All The Way!
Every couple wants that friend that is all good mood and vibes at their wedding because it brings colour to the occasion. Try all you can to leave the bad and negative energy at home.
Do Not Forget The Gifts
Gifts are very important, not just any gift, but intentional ones. As a friend to the couple, you will know what will put a smile on their faces. If you do not want to take a gift to the wedding venue, you can send them one from their gift registry (if they made any).
Have Fun And Party!
Most times, couples are always worried that their guests are not having fun at their wedding. Try your best to have fun, dance, laugh and mingle as this will help in calming the couple's nerves.
With all the tips above, best believe that you will be the best wedding guest ever! Have fun!
