The 5 Things Guests Hate Most About Weddings

For the most part, wedding guests are simply happy to be a part of your big day. But it turns out, they’ve got a few pet peeves when it comes to weddings.
Here are five things guests hate most about weddings, from real wedding guests.
Delayed Receptions
“I have been to my fair share of weddings and love being a part of their special days. But with that said, I absolutely hate delayed receptions — the ones where you get there and no beverages or food are served for more than an hour. Especially if children are invited, there should be activities to keep them busy or else you end up with a room full of hungry guests and bored kids running around.” — Crystal
Lack of Planning
“Every wedding I’ve attended has been a wonderful celebration filled with laughter, love, tears, and lots of dancing, which makes for a great party every time. But even though every one has been a blast, a couple weddings I’ve attended had some rough starts and the cause usually started with the planning — or lack of planning — that went into communicating with the guests. My one piece of advice as a guest is think about the best way to stay in communication with all of your guests as the wedding progresses, because something almost always changes last minute. We as guests want to make sure we’re bringing our A-games to your big day!” — Jessica
No Microphones at the Ceremony
“I understand that a lot of guests look forward to weddings for the free food and booze. But not me. I’m in it for the ceremony . What can I say? I’m a big sap. So my biggest pet peeve as a wedding guest is when couples don’t consider whether their guests can actually hear them during the ceremony. If you don’t use a microphone, chances are we won’t hear anything that’s happening. And instead of sharing the moment along with you, we’ll just be stuck twiddling our thumbs.” — Anna
