| Etiquettes at the wedding dinner |
| Below follows some good advice, to consider before and during the wedding dinner: - Serve a meal that meets the needs of all quests. Perhaps chicken and one meat-free dish. Soup is not a good alternative neither is unpeeled shrimps or corncobs. - Do not serve plain food. The wedding dinner is supposed to be a grand party. - Serve all guests at the same time. - Check in advance if somebody is diabetic, vegetarian etc. - Married couple (except the newly wedded of course!) should not be seated together. - Ex-married couples should not be seated together. - Persons, who are not particularly fond of each other, should not be seated together. - Try to make the seating as good as possible for everybody. - Everybody arise at the bridal couple’s toast. - You must not decline a toast. - It is bad manners to say no if you are asked for a dance. The only reason to say no is if you have a broken leg. - Do not comb, powder or put on make up at the dinner table. - The napkin should not be used as a bib, but put it in your knee. You have been invited to the most important day in the bridal couple’s life. Honour them by bringing your best mood to the wedding. |
