And yes, we know that sometimes it slips our mind \u2013 but even if you remember a week beforehand, it\u2019s better to call and clear up the mishap than to show up unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moving_Tables\"><\/span>Moving Tables<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Event planners put a great deal of strategic planning and consideration <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/06\/conquering-seating-plan-part\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">into their seating plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These are not decided by simply picking names from a hat! Take the careful planning into consideration when you decide you\u2019d rather sit next to your old pal from high school. If you can survive the meal without sitting there, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll get to pick and choose where to sit once the dance floor opens up!<\/p>\n<p>On that note, try not to look too disappointed about where you\u2019re seated. Not everyone can have the best seat in the house, so unless you\u2019re the guest of honor you don\u2019t need to be right in the midst of things. Your host doesn\u2019t want to deal with a sour looking guest, and they <em>definitely <\/em>don\u2019t want to hear offhand comments like, \u201cIt would have been better if I could see\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just stay put.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ignoring_the_Dress_Code\"><\/span>Ignoring the Dress Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11866\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Wedding-dress-code.jpg\" alt=\"Etiquette for wedding attire\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Wedding-dress-code.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Wedding-dress-code-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows that you should never wear white to a wedding \u2013 but what other rules do you need to follow? Well, it depends. If you\u2019re going to a wedding, the general rules are don\u2019t wear white, try not to match the bridal party, and dress in appropriate formal attire.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re going to a corporate event, the dress code is quite different. You don\u2019t always need to dress like you\u2019re going into the office, but you should keep in mind that you\u2019ll still be with colleagues. You don\u2019t want your boss seeing you in Converse and booty shorts at an awards ceremony\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Dress professionally \u2013 simple as that. No one will ever think that you look too professional. They\u2019ll take you seriously, and your boss will be impressed with your commitment to the work environment!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drinking_Too_Much\"><\/span>Drinking Too Much<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By far, this is the worst (and most annoying) etiquette mistake you can make \u2013 anywhere! Not only can it be worrisome and downright dangerous, you put everyone else\u2019s experience in jeopardy. No one wants to deal with a loud, intoxicated person during an event. It\u2019s not cute.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to drink, be sure to have a safe ride home in advance. As well, you should watch what you\u2019re drinking, and how much. Be responsible and alternate drinks with a non-alcoholic beverage. A drink or two is fine, but any more than that and you\u2019re risking your reputation as a guest.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requesting_100_Songs\"><\/span>Requesting 100 Songs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Events have DJs for a reason! Although he may be playing a different genre than you\u2019re used to, DJs are pretty good as mixing it up. There\u2019s no problem with requesting an epic throwback, but when you\u2019re spending more time waiting at the turntable than you are dancing, you need to take a step back.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason this DJ was chosen by the planner and the host \u2013 most likely they love what he\u2019s playing! So don\u2019t get hung up on your personal tastes.

That ranges from people hitting the bar too hard, as well as the ones who take up all of the host\u2019s time. If you\u2019re attending a big event, greeting the host and thanking them for the invitation is perfectly fine \u2013 but don\u2019t follow them around all night. They will be extremely busy, and don\u2019t want to tend to your every need.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re attending a wedding, this point is crucial. Everyone wants their two minutes with the happy couple, and you should be mindful of sticking to a few minutes! A wedding with over 200 guests is stressful. The couple will want to see everyone they can, but they also want to enjoy the evening!<\/p>\n<p>Consider how busy the host is at the moment if you\u2019re planning to strike up a long conversation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bringing_a_Date\"><\/span>Bringing a Date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your invitation doesn\u2019t explicitly state that you are welcome to bring a +1, then don\u2019t! This falls into the realm of RSVPs. It\u2019s inconsiderate to the event planner when you bring an uninvited guest.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, guests are welcome to the reception of a wedding once dinner is finished, but be sure to check with the bride and groom beforehand! Although your date won\u2019t be eating dinner, they may still milk the open bar and after-dinner snacks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_the_Photographer\"><\/span>Blocking the Photographer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We can\u2019t tell you how many once-in-a-lifetime moments have been ruined by an excited guest clambering to get the best shot on their iPhone.
