The Everything Wedding Etiquette Book: Insights and Advice on Handling Even the Stickiest Wedding Issues (Everything Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A plethora of good tips! This books offers suggestions and answers to the many nagging yet necessary questions that need to be answered before the 'Big Day'. For example, at my last marriage (my second), I ripped my wedding dress waist high and if it hadn't been for this book, my maid of honor wouldn't have saved the day with the needle and thread she so cleverly hid in her bouquet. Anyway, this book is great!

Emily Post's Wedding Planner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My fiance and I were just beginning the wedding planning process, and neither of us had had much experience with weddings. We wanted to know more about what is supposed to happen (ideally) and who is supposed to do what (ideally): who pays for which expenses, who performs what roles during and before the ceremony, what kinds of extra-ceremony events to consider having (shower, bachelor party), etc. We are not ultra-conventional people and not slaves to tradition; however, we did at least want to know what the traditions were before breaking them. This book was perfect for that purpose. Peggy Post has done a wonderful job of presenting the basic facts about the traditional American wedding while also pointing out the many, many areas where those traditions are surprisingly *flexible*. Thanks to this book, we were able to plan a wedding that was both socially correct AND perfectly suited to our own particular values, sensibilities, and budget. The book is easy to use, well-organized, and has an excellent overall tone--unlike the Martha Stewart wedding planner, which although very well-organized is rather brusque in tone and not user-friendly. Also unlike the Stewart book, the Post book does NOT require that you be rich. Most of the advice in the Emily Post wedding planner can be followed with low dollar amounts as well as with high dollar amounts. Thank God! It was a big relief to know that a wedding can be perfectly gracious and correct without necessarily being ridiculously expensive. The planner was also useful for resolving disputes: we bought copies for our parents as well, so that if there was ever a question or debate, we could simply refer to page whatever and that would be the end of that. Heaven knows there is no more authoritative source on these matters than Emily Post!

Wedding Etiquette Hell: The Bride's Bible to Avoiding Everlasting Damnation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is not a guide, it's a collection of wedding horror stories other people have submitted to the author's website. You can read those stories for free.
The author's attempt at wit falls far short of the mark...she comes across as a mean-spirited boor. For real wedding advice, pick up Peggy Post's updated edition of Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette instead.

Do I Have To Wear White?: Emily Post Answers America's Top Wedding Questions Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It takes almost a year to plan the wedding. I first got this book in the library and after extending it 3 times I realized that I want to have the copy of my own, since I have been going back to this book again and again for each step of the planning.
All the questions answered in this book are very targeted to each section. If you never planed the wedding or you have no idea what the formal etiquette is this book will be really helpful. Its small format allows you to carry it with you and be like your small cheat sheet.
Highly recommended for all first time brides or parents who help to plan the wedding.

Anti-Bride Etiquette Guide: The Rules - And How to Bend Them Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have recently become engaged, and I'm dreading planning a wedding. I picked up this book because the questions are already beginning, and I was hoping to find some polite ways to tell people to back off. This book does offer some suggestions there, and overall, it helped me become a bit more excited about the process without drowning me in details. I do wish that they had included more than they did in this book. For example, they give some suggested text for invitations. They tell you that "request the honour of your presence" is only to be used for ceremonies held at a place of worship. However, "request the honour of your presence" is used in *all* of their suggested formal wordings. They didn't provide a single example of the etiquette for a formal wording for a wedding held outdoors or in a banquet hall or other non-religious location. Considering that they suggest alternate locations in several places (and even recommend destination weddings as an option, which I found refreshing as I'm figuring on having one), this omission was glaring. There's several other little things like that where I feel a few more pages would have made this book perfect.
Still, I do recommend this book. I haven't looked at any other wedding guide or book, and I feel like I have a grasp of what is needed, what obstacles may come up, etc. The tone is terrific, and the structure is easy to follow when read as a whole or in tidbits here and there.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you only plan on buying *one* wedding guide book, this should be it.
Peggy Post addresses almost every aspect of wedding etiquette in this hefty book. Although you can find most of this information on Internet sites, Peggy Post does a fantastic job of compiling wedding information in one easy-to-use volume.
Book highlights include:
- Exhaustively Thorough Invitation Section

- Engagement Outline
(Example: Gives recommendations for who the happy couple should tell, when, & how.)
- Guest Information
(Example: Discusses gift giving, response cards, etc.)
Peggy Post does an excellent job of conveying information without sounding preachy. She offers recommendations instead of barking standards.
In addition to being a great planning tool, this book is also quite lovely! As such, it would make a beautiful engagement gift.
Highly recommended.
