According to script theory, when presented with a familiar event such as a wedding, individuals will typically activate a mental script they have about the event. This includes knowledge of the typical order of events, rules of etiquette, and expectations for dress. Therefore, the most likely response to being invited to a wedding would be to immediately begin planning what to wear and reminding oneself of the expected customs and sequence of events.
