Ngā whānau, ngā +1 me ngā hoa haere

Kotahi te pōwhiri, he tokomaha ngā tāngata

Ka whiwhi te whānau Smith — a John, a Mary, a Emma me Noah — i te hono kotahi. Ina huaki rātou, ka kite i ngā ingoa e whā, ka whakautu mō ia tangata: ko wai e tae mai ana, ko ēhea wāhanga, ko tēhea kai. Ka tatauria e tō tatauranga ngā tāngata tokowhā ka tae mai pea, ehara i te kotahi.

Te whakaaetanga +1

Ka tautuhia ngā +1 mō ia pōwhiri, ehara i te mea mō te katoa i te wā kotahi:

• kāore he +1;
• kotahi te +1 kore ingoa;
• he hoa haere kua tapaina;
• ka whakaaetia ngā tamariki (he pōwhiri mā ngā pakeke anake rānei);
• ētahi atu manuhiri, ki raro i tāu whakaaetanga.

Ka noho te +1 hei tangata

Ina tapaina e te manuhiri tōna hoa haere, ka noho taua hoa hei manuhiri tūturu, me tōna ake ingoa, momo, matea kai, kai, tae mai ki ngā wāhanga, tūru me tōna reo — ehara i te pouaka tohu ka noho ingoakore mō ake tonu atu.

Ngā whakaaetanga i ia taumata

He rerekē ngā kōwhiringa mō ia manuhiri. Ka taea e Sarah te kawe mai i tētahi +1, kāore e taea e John; ka taea e ngā Smith te kawe mai i ngā tamariki, he pōwhiri mā ngā pakeke anake tētahi atu; kua pōwhiritia a Sarah ki te tina whakaharatau, ko te hākari anake mā John. Tautuhia ki te huihuinga, ki te rōpū, ki te manuhiri, ki te wāhanga rānei, ko tēhea rā te mea māmā.
