Couples who are in the middle of wedding planning have a lot to consider, and the last thing they want to be thinking about on their big day is whether their wedding party is going to behave. Before the couple says “I do” in front of all of their family and friends, they may want to have a quick talk with their wedding party.
According to The Huffington Post, there are a few topics to go over prior to the big day. Many of these may seem like common sense, but it is always better to tell the party beforehand, rather than being upset later on.
Tell the party to not get too intoxicated. Of course, the bride and groom want everyone to have a good time, but they do not want their best college friends retelling stories from their heyday while the groom’s grandmother hears the whole thing. Also, advise the wedding party to avoid all pranks. Hiding the groom’s tuxedo is not funny, and it will be even less so if the bride catches wind of it.
Finally, the wedding party should know to be courteous throughout the ceremony and reception – no member should laugh while walking down the aisle or park it in front of the bar.
