Do you have to go to all the weddings?
Especially if you have other weddings in the same timeframe, it’s worth evaluating whether this one is the right celebration to attend. “If you need to narrow down the field, start with family weddings and closest friends and work backward from there,” Sackheim advises.
Why do so many people go to weddings?
People attending weddings these days have a sort of expectation, sort of like when people go to Las Vegas and just expect to come back with large winnings. Most of the time these people aren’t even that close to the bride and groom, and are the ones criticizing every detail that was so carefully planned.
When is the best time to arrive at a wedding?
Ideally, you should arrive at the ceremony site 30 minutes before the time printed on the invitation, and even earlier for a large event (200 wedding guests or more). If you get there after it’s begun, seat yourself quietly in the back. If the procession is going on, wait until the bride reaches the altar to enter and find a seat.
What to do if you cancel at the last minute for a wedding?
Do let the hosts know if you must cancel at the last minute; don’t just not show up. Don’t assume you can invite a plus-one unless it says “and Guest” on the outer envelope along with your name. Only the people to whom the invite is specifically addressed are invited.

What to expect on the first day of wedding?
