5 Uncommon Wedding Questions Answered
Your wedding is coming up and at this point, you’re thinking how you’d rather tame a honey badger than figure out all the tiny details you may have missed while planning your big day.
Well, unfortunately honey badgers can’t be tamed, so you’re out of luck there. Just stick with planning your big day and we’ll be here to help. In the meantime, we know that there are an infinite amount of questions you have, so we’re going to help you out by answering 5 uncommon wedding questions you might not have thought to ask.
1) What sides do the bride and groom stand on for the ceremony?
If you’re getting married in a church altar, the bride stands on the left and the groom stands on the right while facing the altar. For Jewish ceremonies, it’s the opposite. Traditionally, family and friends follow suit with the bride and groom, but we are big proponents of having guests intermix. Pick a seat, not a side.
2) Do I need to send an invitation to someone I know cannot attend?
If your guest has let you know ahead of time whether or not he or she will be able to attend, you do not need to follow up with an invitation. If you send an invitation to a guest you know won’t be able to attend, you run the risk of he or she feeling obligated to send a gift. If the guest unable to attend is a close friend or family member, send them an invitation and mention that you are sending it as a memento.
3) Should I give everyone the option to bring a 1?

When it comes to allowing plus ones, it is okay to allow only those that are in committed relationships to bring their other half. Do not feel obliged to extend a plus one to single guests. Do, however, avoid making exceptions.
4) When should I take off my veil and where in the world do I put it?
First, just know that you don’t have to wear a veil for your wedding. However, if you do, it’s fine to wear it through the reception. If you decide you want to take it off, do it after the ceremony. You can also take it off after the first dance and have a bridesmaid take it to your suite or place it on the back of your chair.
5) Should I include the gift registry information in the wedding invitation?

Short answer: No! Why? Because it’s tacky and gives the impression that you’d rather have gifts than their presence (no pun intended). This is okay, however, to include in a bridal shower invite. Otherwise, stick to word of mouth, or let them approach you with the question.
