Book Description

September 6, 2001

While approximately 35 percent of brides and grooms today are marching down the aisle for the second, third, or even fourth time, many traditional wedding etiquette books still treat divorce as an afterthought. Martha A. Woodham provides welcome relief for anxious marrieds-to-be with this thorough guide tastefully directs couples touched by divorce to the proper and gracious handling of the big event.

Wedding Etiquette for Divorced Families covers everything from how to get all the names on the wedding invitation and arrange a harmonious seating plan to how to form a receiving line with four sets of parents and appropriate attire for everyone involved. Arranged in alphabetical order, this handy reference includes questions from real brides-to-be as well as the cautionary tales of brides who learned the hard way--without Woodham's help!

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Whether it's the bride, the groom, or their parents who are divorced, this guide answers the many pesky questions that arise, covering everything from engagement announcements to placing feuding family, ex-relatives, and stepchildren in the receiving line and at the tables. Certainly, there is some overlap with general wedding books and books like Pamela Hill Nettleton's Getting Married When It's Not Your First Time (LJ 4/1/01). However, this book conveniently brings together a wide range of answers no matter which key person has been divorced. Woodham, an experienced columnist for Elegant Bride, is thorough; for example, she warns couples with divorced parents to nix the popular dance-game in which couples remain dancing according to their years of marriage. There's a unique chapter on renewing vows that includes some frank (and humorous) remarks on renewal ceremonies and anniversary parties. Chapters are divided into broad categories (attendants, guests, seating, names, etc.) and are arranged alphabetically, allowing one to flip to the appropriate chapter and skim the text for the answer. Recommended for public libraries. Bonnie Poquette, Shorewood P.L., WI
