bits of advice for the newlyweds and guests! Italian style requires so ...

From many of the guests
1 - Respond to time to the invitation with a phone call. If you are not close friends this is the time to ask about the type of ceremony for knowing how to adjust in the choice of. If you have children ask if they can also accompany you. But avoid gaffes: If the address on the envelope of the invitation is Paola and Alfredo Rossi and Rossi family is clear that the invitation is addressed only to you adults.
2 - How to find out the possible gift list wedding. If the spouses have made (whether of objects for the home, a trip or a car) is impolite to decide to go around and make a gift on their own because you do not like the theme.
3 - And now the dress. The rule is that the invited is not in total black or total white: white must be dressed just the bride and the black is too funereal. But there is a new fashionable trend that allows for the wedding invitation black and white, in short, no one dress only white, but black and white, yes.
As for the black only, has long been acknowledged in marriages that go with evening reception, but lately it is seen more often in the afternoon. Matter of taste, not always good.
The etiquette which requires suitable clothing occasion remains the same: no to excessive necklines, sideskirts exaggerated, the eccentric look.
The long dress is not in use, unless the ceremony and evening reception are particularly elegant. A cocktail dress is perfect in pastel colors or fancy. No red, color signage too. Remember that the church is well covered shoulders with a stole.
Yes the hat, but not overdone in any case remember that dovetete keep it in the lead up to the end of the reception!
As for the socks, the discussion is always open: there are those who, respecting the etiquette at the cost of suffering from the heat, do not ever come out without, and some makes do without. Even in summer the bride often chooses to wear sandals without socks. How to blame: a sandal or a peep toe with socks are really unwatchable, on the contrary, a stylish neckline without socks are not wearing. Ever.
4 - No categorical on a cell phone: even if you get bored calls are not permitted.

The part of the spouses
1 - Although the guest list was restricted to the bone would be a blunder not to invite those who have been invited to your wedding.
2 - At the exit of the church begins the tour de force of kisses, greetings and thanks: try not to forget the old aunt or cousin that you never knew. During the reception, past the tables and exchanged a few words with everyone. When guests start to leave other kisses, greetings and thanks: try not to forget the favors that the bride will have to deploy.
3 - In the event that the couple delay their arrival at the place of receipt, as committed in the photo shoot, the mother of the bride will receive the guests and make the place of the hostess.
4 - Before the wedding make yourself along with your friends and closest relatives to avoid rosettes, horn, cutting ties, and various incitements to brawl like "Kiss, kiss ...". The wedding goliardic are definitely out.
