Many of us (Wedding Planners) spend our progress meetings advising lucky couples and their parent's on the proper etiquette to coincide with the formality of the event. After a number of weddings & events this spring, and a number of events to follow this summer, it finally occurred to me, "The guests need a little advice of their own".
A Matter of Time
Ladies & Gentlemen~ Regardless of knowledge you may have gained via word of mouth and or what your past experiences may have been... Don't assume that all weddings are going to begin late. I don't know how many times, in the past three-four months, I've heard, "They're done already?" or "I went through all this for nothing!" Uh, here's a word to the wise----BE ON TIME. The time that appears on your invite has been selected by the couple and confirmed by various vendors. The couple has based all of that day's pre & post events around the time that is engraved on the invitation. A delay in the ceremony can cause a potential domino effect with other wedding events, thus costing hundreds of extra dollars needed to compensate service providers for extending contracts.
