Necessary: reply quickly and appropriately.

Unlike American weddings, British people tend to respond more formally. To treat such a high-standard invitation, we should never brush it off in a few words, but should express our gratitude in humble and complete sentences. For example, they will say, "Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kauffeld are very honored to accept your kind invitation and look forward to witnessing this happy celebration."

Taboo: Physical contact with members of the royal family.

Any form of physical contact with any member of the royal family will be considered impolite, even shaking hands, unless the members of the royal family declare it first. Usually, when greeting the Queen of England or other royal dignitaries, male guests should bow their heads slightly to show their respect, and female guests should curtsy.

Necessary: Don't expose your clothes too much.

Some netizens may think that this practice is too conservative. However, at Westminster Abbey to attend the royal wedding, in this super-high formal occasion, female guests should wear long skirts and dresses should not be off the shoulders. It is appropriate for male guests to wear formal evening dresses or military uniforms (if the royal family wishes).

Necessity and taboo of royal wedding etiquette

Taboo: Wear a white dress.

Guests attending the ceremony should not wear white clothes, or any ivory clothes, ivory clothes or even beige clothes. Otherwise it should be called "doing things without thinking"! In fact, 99.9% of this royal wedding is what we often call a black bow tie or a white-collar wedding ceremony (formal dress is required). I believe that most guests will insist on choosing dark dresses out of respect for Princess Kate.

Essential: Give a gift.

The stupidest way to offend Britain's largest family, the British royal family, is to attend the ceremony empty-handed. Needless to say, tourists will definitely choose wedding gifts for the Williams in advance. The young prince and his wife "cohabited" eight months ago, although in Bian Xiao's view, the couple will definitely not register for marriage. However, distinguished guests from all over the world should choose gifts that best represent their own national and ethnic characteristics, while the closest family members and close friends of the prince and princess should choose crystal or porcelain as gifts.
