Wedding customs:

Wedding etiquette is complex and exquisite, from sitting to serving, from the composition of dishes to dining etiquette, even including the layout of seats and tables, the placement of dishes and so on. There is a set of rules everywhere.

Nowadays, most wedding banquets are held in hotels, and most local weddings are held in local greenhouses, and villagers participate together. When the wedding float drives to the front of the hotel, the best man should open the door for the groom first, and then the groom will open the door for the bride.

When the bride and groom arrived at the banquet hall, their parents stood in a row to greet the guests and thank them for coming. At this time, the groom mostly wishes the guests.

At the beginning of the wedding reception, the MC should personally arrange for the bride's "big guest" and maid of honor to be taken to their seats to show respect. The arrangement of wedding seats varies from place to place. According to Yantai custom, the bride's big guest is at the first table, and the host and big guest should face the stage in order to watch the wedding ceremony.

But if the big guests are from different generations, they should be arranged separately. The so-called "two generations have different seats." When arranging tables on the welcome table, it is generally called the first table of the dragon table and the phoenix table. When setting the table, it is best to arrange people of the same sex and the same age who are familiar with each other at the same table. In this way, having the same language at the banquet can enhance the atmosphere of the wedding reception.
