I will never ever ask a recently engaged couple if they've set a date yet - let them breathe first!
I will never assume I am invited to a wedding for any reason until I receive an invitation.
I will never send back an RSVP card with a "no" without including a note to the bride and groom wishing them well.
I will always send in the RSVP as SOON as I know whether I can make it or not.
I will send a gift as soon as I get an invitation, so as to not flood the couple right around the wedding and honeymoon when they're out of town!
I will never ask "How are the plans coming for the big day?" I never know how to respond to that!
I will never be miffed about the invite being address to my SO "& Guest" (of course, this shouldn't be an issue now that we're engaged).
I will not assume that the couple will be able to work around my picky eating habits - I will have a snack beforehand if the options don't seem like they suit my palate.
I won't make offhand comments about "what the most important thing for a wedding is (or isn't)". Her wedding isn't mine and everyone has their own opinions.
I won't offer unsolicited advice on vendors (in a pushy way). But I will say - "if you need any recommendations, let me know. I'd be happy to help."
Oh wow, #5 is a HUGE pet peeve of mine...I'll also always include a note with a no RSVP from now on!
I will NEVER complain, or insinuate anger/sadness, about the wedding date or time.
(just had a BRIDESMAID and a FAMILY member do that in the last two days!
even if i have to have heart surgery or donate a kidney, if i RSVP'd yes then dammit i will crawl to the wedding if i have to... but obviously i will also keep it low key not to take the focus of the bride :)
I'll never return a response card without a short personal note. I've always included a personal note if my response was "no". But so many people who responded "yes" included notes on their response cards about how excited they were about the wedding, etc. It made the responses that much more personal and fun to look forward to in the mail. Now I'll remember to do that as well.
agreed Mrs. dee to bee I will NEVER ask how the plans are coming!!! I HATE that one!! I always just say "Theyre coming"!
I will never ask about a date until I am told one.
I will never assume I am invited even if it is my best friend, cousin, FSIL etc
I will never try to push something on a bride that she doesnt want
I will let the bride make her own decisions even if I dont 100% agree with them
Im sure more will come once Ive gotten as far as the wedding!
I will never ask if they've chosen a date, and once a date has been chosen, I will never question why they went with that date.
How about I won't assume that an invitation addressed to only myself means that I may put 4 other people on the response card?
Fail to RSVP! Ugh, I've been terrible about that in the past! I can't remember a wedding where the bride didn't have to call to ask *embarrassed*.
I will never say 'its rude to get married on a holiday weekend because people like to travel and do things',
@ redherring: I'm so with you on that one!
I will never assume that a new bride-to-be wants my unsolicited advice on planning just because I did it a couple of months ago

1) I will never RSVP late.
2) I will never text, email, or call the busy bride with a question that I know is answered on the website.
3) I won't ever ask what the date is, expecially considering the website is printed on all the bridal shower invites and thank yous, and the SAVE THE DATE.
4) I will never automatically assume or make judgement call about traditions (giving away the bride, boquet toss, etc.)
5) I will NEVER berate or tease a bride for doing things "so early!" or say "you have so much time!!!"
There's more I can come up with, I'm sure, but I've got to go to work... what are you additions?? :)
