5.0 out of 5 stars Easy-to-read, very imformative, January 20, 1998

This review is from: Modern Bride(r) Guide to Etiquette: Answers to the Questions Today's Couples Really Ask (Paperback)

Looked at several bridal etiquette books, these has an easy to read format. Questions posed to the editor are grouped by sensible subject titles (not some off-the-wall description). Seemed to address contemporary societal issues and conventions, while offering description of what have been conventional traditional practices. Good list of secondary resources concerning engagement rings, bridal gowns, attendant attire, and groomsmen formalwear. Directly addressed many of the questions I had in mind when looking for this type of ettiquette guide!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for any type of wedding!, November 2, 1998

This review is from: Modern Bride(r) Guide to Etiquette: Answers to the Questions Today's Couples Really Ask (Paperback)

This book was filled with lots of helpful information as well as ideas to some of the most common and unusual situtations. It posed lots of questions with answers, that I hadn't even thought of. If you are a bride-to-be who really doesn't know a lot about modern day etiquette (and even if you do), I highly reccommend this book!
