Wedding Invitations

Don’t be too quick to dismiss it as silly and outdated.  One wonderfully handy thing about wedding etiquette is that it makes it very easy to find information about every detail of a wedding, from the very largest to the very smallest detail. No matter what, the odds are good that you’ll find that wedding etiquette has an opinion on the matter.

Not sure you should believe us? Well, let’s take a closer look at some examples. Maybe you didn’t realize it but there’s etiquette regarding the wedding and the engagement ring. Etiquette says that the wedding band must not be put above the engagement ring. The wedding band is worn at the base of the finger with the engagement ring (if any) immediately following, as if to stand guard. On her wedding day a bride either leaves her engagement ring at home when she goes to the church or she wears it on her right hand. She should switch it back to her left hand following the ceremony.

Another good example of etiquette taking care of every last detail is a bride’s escort. The reason the bride is on her father’s right arm is that a gentleman’s right arm is the arm of courtesy. This even extends to the groomsmen or ushers. You know that it is the duty of the ushers to show all guests to their places. An usher offers his right arm to each female guest as she arrives, whether he knows her personally or not.  You now can see that while some might think wedding etiquette is outdated, the truth is that it’s a helpful guide for many brides today.
