We say, leave those worries behind. You get to decide what works for you and your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fiance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Still, there are some general guidelines you might want to consider. Here\u2019s your quick and easy guide to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">second wedding etiquette<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Giving the Bride Away<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once upon a time, a bride\u2019s father would give her away. But you might be wondering what happens for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">second-time bride<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re following tradition, it might feel odd to be \u201cgiven away\u201d after you already had the experience with your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first marriage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There\u2019s no reason to follow this through unless it\u2019s dear to you. Feel free to have your father(s) or anyone you wish walk you down the aisle. And if you\u2019d rather bypass this old tradition, that\u2019s perfectly fine too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Wedding Party<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a traditional <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first wedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the happy couple is usually joined by a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">groomsmen, bridesmaids<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a ring bearer, and a flower girl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no rule that says you can\u2019t have a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remarriage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but many couples opt not to include them \u2014 often because the wedding is smaller or less traditional.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dresses and Veils<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People often say that a bride can\u2019t wear white to a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">second wedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but we say why not? If you or your partner plan to wear a dress, there\u2019s no good reason why it can\u2019t be any shade of white or any color you wish. Don\u2019t feel limited to ivory or off-white if you want a traditional look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For couples who love tradition, one thing to consider is a veil. It\u2019s meant to <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingwire.com\/wedding-ideas\/wedding-veil-meaning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">symbolize modesty<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (among many other things), so if you\u2019re opting for a more traditional or religious ceremony, you might choose not to have one for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">second wedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For something just as beautiful, try a tiara, bejeweled hair clip, or floral crown to match your wedding flowers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Your <\/b><b>Guest List<\/b><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_12506\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12506\" class=\"wp-image-12506 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vibrant-Oasis-Invitation.jpg\" alt=\"Second wedding ideas: Vibrant Oasis Invitation\" width=\"400\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vibrant-Oasis-Invitation.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vibrant-Oasis-Invitation-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Plum Pretty Sugar\u00ae<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another area that couples might stress about is the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding guest list<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You might be wondering whether to invite your partner(s) from a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">previous marriage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or how to approach inviting friends that you and your former spouse shared together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The great news is that like all things related to weddings, it\u2019s completely your choice. Invite whoever you wish to your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">second marriage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 including former partners, former in-laws, and people who attended your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first wedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Talk things over with your partner and figure out what suits you best.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re ready to send out your invites, it doesn\u2019t get easier than<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>online invitations<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This is often because many <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">second weddings<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are more low-key with smaller <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guest lists<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second weddings<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shouldn\u2019t feel any less special than your first.

That doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t create a registry or that guests won\u2019t want to bring a gift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expect your guests to treat this wedding like any other, and be ready to receive gifts from your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loved ones<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

You don\u2019t have to follow tradition or be led by others\u2019 expectations. Embrace your individuality, discuss your preferences with your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fiance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and plan a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that\u2019s uniquely yours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>9 <\/b><b>Second Wedding Ideas<\/b><b> for an Incredible Party<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">second wedding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there\u2019s often a lot less pressure.
