Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries weddings are multi‑day affairs with a strong emphasis on family. It’s common for relatives to travel long distances to attend, and guests often bring a small gift or contribute to a group present. When confirming attendance, you might also add a polite phrase like “¡Qué alegría!” (What a joy!) to show enthusiasm.
