RSVP in a Timely Manner
Akeshi emphasized the importance of promptly responding to wedding invitations.

Procrastination can create unnecessary stress and complications for the couple and their wedding team.
Avoid Wearing White
As a show of respect for the bride, Akeshi recommended that guests should avoid wearing white to a wedding. Wearing white as a guest is still considered a faux pas, as the color is traditionally reserved for the bride. Guests should opt for other colors and consult the wedding invitation for any specific dress code requirements.
Mind Your Social Media Etiquette
Akeshi highlighted the importance of respecting the couple's privacy and preferences when it comes to posting pictures and videos of their wedding on social media. She advised guests to adhere to any guidelines provided by the couple, such as using a designated wedding hashtag or refraining from posting altogether until the couple has shared their own photos.
Don't Bring Uninvited Guests
Akeshi stressed that guests should not bring uninvited plus-ones or children to the wedding. Wedding guest lists are often carefully curated, and inviting extra guests can cause unnecessary stress for the couple and the event planner. If you're unsure about whether you can bring a plus-one, it's best to reach out to the couple directly and ask for clarification.
Thoughtful Gift-Giving
While giving a gift isn't mandatory, Akeshi suggested that guests should consider the couple's preferences, needs, and wishes when selecting a present. Many couples create a gift registry to make the process easier for guests. However, if you'd like to give something more personal, it's essential to be mindful of the couple's tastes and lifestyles.
