Something New - Wedding Etiquette for Rule Breakers, Traditionalists, and Everyone in Between (Paperback)

In "Something New, " etiquette columnist Elise Mac Adam tackles every wedding question, from the frivolous to the frightful, demonstrating how etiquette is designed to make people feel comfortable and offering a road map for how to behave in any sticky situation...even how to deal with people who, themselves, could use a little remedial etiquette assistance. Mac Adam offers easy cheat sheets for the rules of traditional comportment, elaborates on ways to manipulate or jettison traditions to suit your modern life, and -- using real-life case studies -- shows etiquette at work in practically every nuptial-related circumstance, including:

- What do you do if your best man is dog phobic and the ring bearer is your bride's Alaskan malamute?

- HOW MANY BRIDAL SHOWERS IS TOO MANY?

- HOW DO YOU COMPOSE AN INVITATION THAT MENTIONS ALL OF YOUR PARENTS AND STEPPARENTS?

- CAN YOU DECLINE THE HONOR OF BEING A BRIDESMAID AND PRESERVE YOUR FRIENDSHIP?

- CAN YOU REGISTER FOR PRESENTS IF YOU ELOPE?

- WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE REHEARSAL DINNER GUEST LIST?

- WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL WHEN ONE FAMILY DRINKS (A LOT) AND THE OTHER DOESN'T (AT ALL)?

- CAN YOU HAVE A CHILD-FREE WEDDING?

- WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOUR HOSTS FORGET TO INVITE YOUR WIFE?

- DO YOU HAVE TO INVITE YOUR BOSS?

Exploring the nuptial maze from every angle, "Something New" demonstrates how everyone involved with a wedding (and even people who are left out) can use etiquette to suit his or her needs -- for better, never for worse.
