A Guide to Wedding Etiquette for the Modern Couple

Every couple deserves a wedding day that is as unique and special as their love story. As a premier luxury wedding planner in the Cincinnati area, Elegant Events by Elisa offers couture wedding consultation and event coordination that ensures every detail of your special day is flawlessly executed. Today, we are excited to launch our series on wedding etiquette, designed to help modern couples navigate the evolving landscape of wedding traditions with grace and elegance.

Embracing Digital Invitations and RSVPs

While traditional paper invitations remain a classic choice, digital invitations are becoming increasingly popular. They are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and convenient. However, it’s important to consider your guest list. For a luxury wedding, a hybrid approach may be best: send a beautifully designed paper invitation for the main event, complemented by digital RSVPs to streamline the process.

Crafting Inclusive Guest Lists

Weddings today are more inclusive than ever. Whether it's ensuring that all guests feel comfortable regardless of their backgrounds, or accommodating dietary restrictions, inclusivity should be a top priority. Personalize your approach by asking guests about their preferences and making necessary arrangements to ensure everyone feels welcome.

Navigating Social Media Etiquette

With the rise of social media, couples need to navigate the do's and don'ts of sharing their big day online. Decide early on whether you want a social media-free ceremony or if you’re comfortable with guests posting photos. If you prefer to keep the ceremony private, kindly communicate this to your guests ahead of time.

Managing Plus-Ones with Grace

Determining who gets a plus-one can be tricky. As a general rule, extend plus-one invitations to guests who are married, engaged, or in a long-term relationship. For others, consider the overall size of your wedding and budget before making a decision. Clear communication is key to avoid any misunderstandings.

Curating Your Gift Registry and Thank You Notes

While it’s common to have a gift registry, consider including options for experiences or charitable donations for those who may prefer them. After the wedding, timely and personalized thank you notes are essential. Handwritten notes add a personal touch that digital messages cannot replicate.
