Culture / 6 Rules For Wedding Guests In Nigeria by neonis12345(m): 7:54am On Jul 16, 2016 |
Wedding ceremonies in Nigeria are great, especially ones
organized in the western parts of the country. While a lot of the
celebrants are expected to observe certain traditions and follow
certain rules, the guests are not spared either, as there are certain
etiquette rules they too have to abide by while attending the
occasion.
If you are visiting Nigeria and planning on attending a wedding,
you are going to want to put your best foot forward. And that
means getting well acquainted with what the rule book says. To
give you a head start, Jumia Travel, Africa's No.1 online hotel
booking portal, shares 6 rules for wedding guests in Nigeria
Do not wear any shade of white
The general idea is that the brides wear white or shades of the
colour, including ivory, cream e.t.c. You are not allowed to try and
upstage the bride by wearing anything that is primarily white or a
dress in a hue that is really close to white. You can however wear
something with a touch of white, as long as the white does not
dominate the ensemble. Actually, you are also not allowed to wear
anything that will keep all attention on you rather than the bride.
Stay away from plunging necklines, and thigh high slits. It is her
day and it is important she has all the attention.
Ensure you follow the couple's photography and social media rules
There are so many visual platforms now and users are always
keen to upload photos of "awwh-worthy" moments to their social
media platforms. While most couples will allow you to do just that
at the wedding, ensure you do not trump either the bride or the
groom in the photo. In other words, do not post a less-than-
flattering photo of the bride even if you happen to look really cute.
Again, remember to include the couples' hashtags on all the
wedding photos. If you aren't sure what they want, just do not post
anything. Also, try not to get in the way of the professional
photographer who has actually been paid by the groom to take
official photos of the wedding.
Do not bring a Plus One on your discretion
Unless there is a crystal-clear 'plus one' addendum on the
invitation, please do not come with anyone else including your
boyfriend, girlfriend, bestie or child. The couple makes their budget
and plan according to the invitations sent out and affirmed, and so,
bringing extra people just makes things a lot more difficult as
regards seating and catering.
Take a gift to the wedding
The norm for Nigerians is to go to the wedding, dance eat and go
home. Unless they are related to the bride or groom, they hardly
attend with a gift. A few , especially those in Lagos, justify not
gifting the bride and groom with the excuse that they paid
forAsoebi or they will spray cash on the dance floor, but should
that suffice? Unless the invitation specifies "no gifts", it is
important that you take a gift in honor of your invitation. Great
thing is that you have up to about 6 months to give the bride/
groom a wedding present, so if you miss your chance at the
wedding itself, you can still send them something.
Go easy on Souvenirs
Souvenir time is always a bit chaotic in Nigerian weddings. No
matter how negligible the package or empty the goodie bag,
wedding guests tend to see it as a gold medal and go extra lengths
to secure even more than one for themselves. Some people even
now take some part of the decoration, like a floral arrangement or
centerpiece on the table, home. It is important to note that
weddings are not a grab and go opportunity. Wait for your turn
when souvenirs are being distributed and if you see something on
the table you want to take home, ensure you ask the bride or
groom or wedding planner first.
Attend every second of the wedding ceremony
The norm in Nigeria is that wedding guests skip the church
ceremony and just go to the reception event as they never want to
sit through that long religious ceremony. This is not an acceptable
practice though, as the couple who sent you an invitation expect
you to join them for the full experience. A ceremony and reception
go hand in hand. You may think the bride and groom will not
notice, but the truth is that they remember who shows up and who
does not...and remember those who leave early too. 1 Like 1 Share |
