When attending a wedding, it's essential to be mindful of the couple's preferences and the cultural context. Here's a general list of items you might want to bring or consider when attending a wedding:
1. Gift or Card:
Gift: If you are giving a gift, consider the couple's registry for ideas. Gifts can vary widely in price and type.
Card: A heartfelt card with a personal message is always appreciated.
2. Appropriate Attire:
Formal Attire: Unless the invitation specifies a different dress code, formal or semi-formal attire is usually appropriate. For men, this might mean a suit and tie; for women, a cocktail dress or a formal gown.
3. Personal Hygiene Items:
Tissues/Handkerchief: For personal use during emotional moments.
Breath Mints/Gum: To keep your breath fresh, especially if you’ll be socializing closely with others.
4. Money or Envelope (If Appropriate):
Cash: In some cultures, giving cash in an envelope is a common practice.
Check: A check made out to the couple is also acceptable in some regions.
5. Consider the Venue and Season:
Umbrella: If the wedding is during the rainy season.
Sunscreen: For outdoor weddings in sunny weather.
Sweater or Shawl: For indoor events in case the venue is chilly.
6. Electronic Devices:
Camera/Phone: For taking pictures (respect the couple's privacy and follow any rules about photography).
Phone Charger: Especially if you plan on using your phone for photos or social media updates.
7. Respectful Attitude:
Patience and Understanding: Weddings can sometimes have delays or changes in schedule. Be patient and understanding if things don’t go exactly as planned.
Respectful Behavior: Be polite, respectful, and mindful of cultural traditions and customs.
8. Optional Items:
Small Snacks: Especially if there might be a long gap between the ceremony and reception.
Comfortable Shoes: If there’s going to be dancing, comfortable shoes can be a lifesaver.
Always check the invitation or consult with the couple or the wedding organizer if you have specific questions about what to bring or how to prepare. Remember, your presence and good wishes are often the most important gifts you can give to the couple.
A wonderful wedding for you today from a jaunt over to Cambridge that I had at the end of last summer. Alessa and Pedro got married at Trinity Hall in Cambridge University and then went punting before ending up at Magdalene College for a drinks reception and dinner. I now think going punting on your wedding day is an exceptionally good idea!! We had so much fun and it makes for some awesome photos too. The grounds at Trinity Hall were just stunning… I think it’s got to be one of the most amazing places for an outdoor wedding. And Magdalene was pretty special too – the atmosphere in the colleges at Cambridge is so unique and it’s so lovely to have your wedding day somewhere that means so much to you if you’ve studied there. Alessa and Pedro first got in touch with me after their amazing wedding celebrant Zena Birch gave them my details (Hey Zena!!). Zena is a humanist celebrant who I first worked with about 5 years ago. I’ve been lucky enough to shoot a few weddings with her in the years since and every.single.
