So, What Am I Meant To Be Doing?

I've complied a list; a directory, if you will, of what the people involved in your wedding, are meant to do.  I've made out that this is a guide for you, the lovely readers, but it's actually me trying to be a bit sneaky and Bridezillaish and make sure the people in my wedding will read this post and follow instruction!

I've sourced the best sites and links to establish what your bridesmaids, best man, ushers....(etc etc) are supposed to take care of and their other various duties.

Wedding Etiquette....The Dos & Don'ts

Etiquette (noun) - A set of rules or customs which control accepted behaviour in particular social groups or social situations. The simple rule to remember about wedding etiquette is never do or say anything that has even the slightest potential to offend".

If you're interested (of course you are), visit County Bride and their guide on all things to do with wedding etiquette, customs, traditions, who pays for what and the roles and duties that are assigned to the different wedding party members.

"Possibly the most important day in a woman's life is her wedding day. A day where, as the bride, she is rightfully the 'star of the show'".

Any website that rightfully suggests the above is indeed a website to take note from.  They obviously know their stuff! 

I'll introduce another lady whose website I think is worth a look when it comes to wedding etiquette; Valerie Tall.  She has 25 years of experience behind her and is mainly stationed in Brigg, Lincolnshire.  'The Wedding Shed' can be found within the grounds of The White Heather Hotel at Caenby Corner, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire.   To view her website and check out the range of things she has to offer (gifts, suppliers, stationery, wedding consultancy and venue styling) please Click Here
