"[The bride] and the groom both look as though there were sunlight behind their eyes, as though their mouths irresistibly turned to smiles," wrote Emily Post in 1922's Etiquette. Great-granddaughter-in-law Peggy Post, author of the fourth edition of Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette, absolutely agrees with Miss Emily. To ensure those bright eyes and smiles, she imparts thoughtful and commonsensical advice on how to plan for not just your wedding, but for all the social and familial obligations and traditions that a wedding entails. Unlike many wedding manuals, Post includes advice for the "encore" bride as well as for the new bride. In this day of remarriages and blended families, tact and strategy are often needed to make sure feelings aren't hurt and everything runs as smoothly as possible. A chapter on multicultural and interfaith marriages addresses differing world traditions and how they can be incorporated into a touching ceremony that makes both the couple and their families happy. If you are unsure of who is supposed to do what, Post gives you clear instruction, often including a flow chart that delineates the responsibilities of all people involved in the wedding party (bride's parents throw the engagement party, best man returns the tuxes, flower girl's family pays for her outfit). Throughout Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette are sidebars with questions asked of Post regarding an amazing array of wedding-related conundrums ("My daughter's fiancĂ© wants to follow his family's tradition of having a money tree at the wedding. I personally find this distasteful; can I say so?"). This is a great book to find the answers for all those sticky questions. All involved in the wedding process should leaf through, get their bearings, smile, and then forge ahead. --Dana Van Nest Product Description: The classic indispensable, comprehensive guide to creating the wedding of your dreams. Today's weddings are more complicated than ever, with new traditions replacing old, and new relationships to consider as family life grows more complex. In this new edition, Peggy provides sensible solutions to wedding questions old and new, showing how to manage the big decisions and the little details with tact, consideration and confidence–– leaving you free to enjoy all of the happy times along the way! With new chapters on the groom's involvement and incorporating today's technology into your wedding plans, plus updates and expansions on destination weddings, same–sex unions, wedding expenses, and more, the 5th edition answers every couple's contemporary questions. And Peggy Post continues to provide the tried and true guidelines every couple needs for a memorable wedding, from announcing the engagement, to budgeting for the ceremony and reception, to choosing the perfect caterer, florist, photographer and music–– and bringing it all off with minimum stress and maximum style. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazing book, a must haveThis book is a must have for every one of your wedding questions. I thought I would use it a little for wedding stuff, but I had many more questions than expected so I find myself going to the book weekly. Also recommended is Martha Stewarts wedding planner, but PS that book will fall apart immediately- good content though! Rating: - Great!I received the book really fast in excellent condition. I would purchase from the seller again! Rating:  - Good but not stand-aloneI've been planning my wedding for the past few months and I've been relying on this book, Easy Wedding Planning Plus by Elizabeth and Alex Lluch, and Bridal Bargains by Denise and Alex Fields. This book covers all the etiquette questions that crop up when planning a wedding (who are you supposed to buy gifts for, who is expected to pay for what, etc.) It also offers a tremendous amount of other information such as tips for saving money, things to think about when selecting flowers, music, etc. ... Read More Rating: - A well organized book, covers a lot of stuffA well organized book, that answers a lot of these difficult questions and saves a lot of precious time. All what any bride and groom need to know from A to Z. From how to announce your engagement? to how to prepare your Thank You Notes? Although the book covers mainly traditional weddings, it definitely gives ideas to any couple who want to prepare their own custom wedding. I highly recommend this book for any couple to get ready for their wedding Rating: - Only book you'll needThis is a fabulous book. It's a great classic, informative guide for those who want to have a proper wedding. If you only want to buy one book this would be it. It goes through just about every aspect of planning and enjoying your wedding. (Contracts, Invitations, Dresses, Expenses and more) I read it cover to cover and continue to return to it for reference.
