Episode 3: How to Avoid Being an Awful Wedding Guest

The Dos and Don'ts of attending a wedding

In episode three of The One Fab Day Wedding Podcast, we're turning our attention to the wedding guests, and the many ways in which this eager group of revellers can make or break a wedding celebration! If asked, we'd probably all say that we were impeccable partygoers, but some (seemingly innocent!) wedding guest habits can be really frustrating for the couple, for example, casually mentioning that you're not going to bother RSVPing, asking logistical questions on the day of the wedding, and assuming that it's fine to be 15 minutes late. With that in mind, we're laying down some semi-strict rules for wedding guests, along with some useful nuggets of advice!

Main topic: We share a set of rules for how to be a good wedding guest, spanning RSVPs, dress codes, gifts, and social media posts.

Wedding dilemma: A reader writes, "I really hate getting my photo taken and my partner feels the same. We’re thinking about not having a photographer but all of our friends think we’re mad.
