Etiquette And Ideas For Second Weddings: Different Topics

By:


If you are planning to get married the second or third time, you will have to find some information on etiquette for second or encore weddings. We will discuss etiquette for several different topics in this article.

1. Firstly we will look at gift registry for encore weddings. Gifts are usually not given at second weddings according to the correct etiquette. The reason is that gifts are usually given at first weddings to help the new couple to set up their household by giving items from the selected gift registry. In the case of second or encore weddings the couple already has most of these items though and gift registry is not required.

Having said that it has become quite common to give gifts for encore weddings. It is quite acceptable to register for gifts since your friends will probably want to buy you something anyway. You may want to specify themes like art, linen or any other area you may have a need. Maybe you enjoy having a hobby together as a couple and can even list items that you can use for that.

2. The same etiquette applies to a bridal shower for second or encore weddings. Although it is not the norm to have a bridal shower for encore weddings, your friends may feel that they would like to give you a shower anyway and that is quite acceptable even if it just for fun.

A great idea for a second wedding shower is to ask for items to stock the liquor cabinet like glasses, ice buckets, shakers or a favorite bottle of liquor which you can all enjoy together at some later date!

3. Thirdly but very importantly will be second wedding etiquette on the cost of the wedding. You should not ask parents to foot the bill or even just contribute to the cost of the wedding since they presumably already paid for your first wedding. You may accept graciously if they offer to help with the expenses though.

It is vital that the couple reach consensus about responsibility of all wedding expenses. Another way to do this is to split all the expenses and pay equal amounts since you are both getting married. It is not fair for one party to be responsible for all the expenses.

I trust that these ideas and correct etiquette for second weddings has clarified some murky issues regarding encore marriages. This is just a guideline and you should still use your own discretion.
