You show up at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lesnerinn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ceremony <\/a>&amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/lesnerinn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reception<\/a>, you send your best wishes to the happy couple, and you enjoy all of the food, alcohol &amp; music. You really don\u2019t have to do anything else, unless you\u2019re specifically asked to participate in another way. That being said, there are number of things you should <strong>NEVER<\/strong> do at a <a href=\"https:\/\/lesnerinn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wedding<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Show up late to the ceremony: <\/strong>The bride and groom have spent a lot of their time &amp; money planning their special day, and the least you can do is show up on time (especially those of you who received the invitations at least 8 weeks out, so have had ample time to plan). If you know you will be running late, we would recommend waiting until the ceremony is over so you don\u2019t interrupt vows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wear White: <\/strong>A big NO, NO! Don\u2019t even think about wearing white! Only the bride should be in white!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change your seat assignments: <\/strong>This really throws everyone for a loop \u2013 the bridal party, the venue managers, the wedding planners, &amp; the catering staff. Just don\u2019t do it. If you have to, let the wedding planner and venue manager know so we can properly set you up at another table and make sure you get the food you ordered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change your dinner order \/ notify us of an allergy at the last minute: <\/strong>If you have the wrong dinner order, please let us know, we\u2019ll be happy to accommodate. But please don\u2019t change your order on us last minute. The bride &amp; groom request this information months in advance for a reason.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drink like it\u2019s the first open bar you\u2019ve ever been to: <\/strong>You definitely don\u2019t want to be THAT guy \/ girl&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hassle the bartender after last-call: <\/strong>Okay, you\u2019ve had <em>at<\/em> <em>least<\/em> 3 hours of eating, drinking &amp; dancing. No need to fret just because it\u2019s last call. Go grab one more drink (when they announce last call) and call it a night. Don\u2019t continue to bother the bartender 20 minutes after last call. We are required to stop serving alcohol within the last half hour of any event.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wedding Crash: <\/strong>Wedding Crashers\u2019 Rule #8: Be the life of the party. (THE PARTY YOU WERE INVITED TO). At <a href=\"https:\/\/lesnerinn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lesner Inn<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/lesnerinn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virginia Beach<\/a>, we can host two events at once, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re invited to both events. Each event is private, so please respect that.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vandalize property: <\/strong>DUH!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refuse to leave after party is over: <\/strong>The fun has to end at some point. Please respect the wedding planner, the venue managers &amp; staff and say your goodbyes to the newlyweds and move to the next stop (whether it be an after-party or home).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steal centerpieces or d\u00e9cor: <\/strong>On your way out \u2013 DO NOT steal anything! The bride &amp; groom, and their families, have spent a lot on making their day special \u2013 and this includes all of the little details. Unless the bride &amp; groom give you permission to take centerpieces or decorative items home, then leave them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a guest, your job is easy-shmeasy.
