Follow these commandments and your spot on the bride & groom's "most loved wedding guests" list will be secure!
1. You shall RSVP before the specified deadline.
2. You shall not wear white (unless specifically requested, a la Kim Kardashian)
3. You shall not make a last minute RSVP change (from Yes to No)*
4. You shall arrive to the wedding ceremony early, not late
5. You shall respect the couple’s decision to request no children or no plus 1’s
6. Honor the couple and PAY ATTENTION at the ceremony. No sports streaming, tweeting or chatting
7. You shall not black out (or even come close)
8. You shall not get frisky in the photobooth
9. You shall not regift, or stray too far off the couple’s registry
10. You shall keep all criticism, critiques, and not so positive opinions to yourself**
Which of these ten commandments do you consider most important?
*Obviously, certain occurrences (like a death in the family or going into labor) give you a free pass to ditch the wedding at the last minute.
**There’s nothing wrong with a little recap/gossip session with your significant other once you’re in the privacy of your own home. But until then, zip it.
