So, older adults, we want to know: What are the biggest differences between wedding etiquette today vs. when you were younger?

Like, maybe when planning a wedding, you were expected to invite distant relatives or else it would be considered rude — but these days, you notice people are way more selective when it comes to sending wedding invites.

Or perhaps you can recall other norms people followed, like sending out physical save the dates and invites, and now, more and more people are using digital invites instead.

Or maybe you remember specific guest rules that are now outdated. For example, wearing black to a weddingwas a major no-noas a guest, but nowadays, it’s totally acceptable, especially to more formal weddings.

Or perhaps you were the younger person planning your wedding back in the day, and had your older relatives tell you were breaking wedding planning rules because you decided to do a more modern wedding trend.
