Wedding Season is officially in full swing, and naturally with it comes a handful of questions about proper etiquette surrounding a wedding.  The perfect wedding guests are considerate to the couple and their families, and are cognizant of what this big day means for them.  Simple things like RSVPing on time, dressing appropriately for a cocktail wedding versus black-tie, and enjoying yourself at the event (read: getting out on the dance floor) go a long way.  Click through the slideshow above to see just how easy it is to be the perfect wedding guest.  For more wedding inspiration, head over to our wedding Pinterest board and pin along with us!  Cheers, Kat

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT RSVPING TO THE WEDDING WHETHER YOU CAN OR CAN'T MAKE IT. BE SURE TO DROP THE RSVP IN THE MAIL OUT OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE COUPLE AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO PLANNING.

ATTENDING A WEDDING IS ALWAYS A GREAT EXCUSE TO DRESS UP. PLAN YOUR LOOK BASED ON THE ENCOURAGED DRESS STATED ON THE INVITATION, THE EVENT'S VENUE AND CEREMONY TIME. IF YOU'RE ON A BUDGET, TRY RENTING A DESIGNER LOOK.
