Emily Post on Weddings: Revised Edition [Paperback]

Elizabeth L. Post (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 19, 1994

Your wedding day. It should be one of the happiest days of your life, not one of the most harried. The perfect wedding doesn't just happen--it takes planning. Things you never thought about suddenly occupy your every waking hour: How are the invitations worded? What is a semiformal wedding anyway? Why are announcements sent out, and who receives them anyway? What obligations does a wedding invitation confer on the recipient? Do guidelines exist for selecting a wedding gift? Who gives the wedding showers? Are there any guidelines for finding and working with a videographer?

Brides and grooms and their parents will find the answers to these questions and much more in the pages of this indispensable book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good start with your wedding plans, June 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Emily Post on Weddings: Revised Edition (Paperback)

Since most of us who'll buy wedding planning books are first time brides, this is a good one for starters. It's a FAQ collection. It covers broad areas, from what bridesmaid's responsibilites are to do-you-need-to-take-off-your-glove-for-the-ring-exchange. It's helpful, although you might get answers like that in other wedding etiquette books.

It's a period piece; some relevance to contemporary weddings, but not much. Miss Manners is much better.
