DESCRIPTION:
You may have to rescind those offers later when you realize you were just a bit too hasty. -Sponsored wedding, at which vendors who donate their services are offered the opportunity to put their logos on various wedding related paper products. -Enclosing a blank deposit form for a bank account bearing the names of the bride and the groom with the invitation.And much more! This is a hilarious exploration of how weddings can literally drive people mad.. -It is never wise to make bridesmaid offers while in the grip of fluttery, just-engaged emotions. Once having made the offer, it is extraordinarily ungracious to rescind it, unless you want a seething friend or sister using your engagement photo as a dartboard. Insisting that everyone within your acquaintance had not dare schedule their wedding anywhere within a six month time period labels you as a classic Bridezilla. Covering such wedding staples as attendants, invitations, registries, showers, the cere
JEANNE HAMILTON is a wedding consultant and the creator of EtiquetteHell, which has been featured in prominent publications like USA Today, People, and Wall Street Journal. She lives in Oxford, North Carolina.
Hamiliton runs through a list of nuptial no-nos, from invitations and bridal showers to receptions and the like. . And she reprimands the couple audacious enough to send announcements a full year after the event, telling friends and relatives not invited to the wedding that they can "honor the union" with "contributions to the home purchasing fund." Tacky and rude, these instances of extreme faux pas make for amusing reading. Hamilton's discussion is slightly hampered, however, by occasional fictional asides. Hamilton scoffs, for example, at the bride and groom who tried to solicit sponsors for their wedding in exchange for "signage at the reception venue." She shakes her head at the pair who took their registry "to a new low in greed" when they offered guests chances to pay for specific parts of their honeymoon in Hawaii-the airfare, the housing, the meals and activities.

DM said Not worth buying. Clearly from many of the reviews I've read here, many of her sychophantic minions from Etiquette Hell have written their own "reviews" to bolster sales of their mascot's book.There is nothing in this book that cannot be read for free from your public library. Jeanne Hamilton is too full of herself and mean spirited for my taste and many of the tales are just a retelling of what has already been posted on her website. Some of the stories are quite old and can be looked up online and read for free.Save your money towards your wedding instead of wasting it on buying an unecessary book.. K. Shaw said Must need bridal guide!. I thought this book was hillarious as well as a great guide for any bride to be. Anyone who has ever been a bride or attended weddings probably knows a horror story or two regarding them, and can really relate to this book. I am using the advice planning my own wedding, and it's a much better read than most of the boring bridal etiquette books.. Very practical guide. Noodle 19-2000 I am a fan of the author's Etiquette Hell web site (which covers more than weddings), so when I became a bride-to-be I picked this book up. What sets it apart from other etiquette guides, besides not having hundreds of pages, is that it uses real-life stories and covers only the areas that people are most likely to care about. In other words, it's relevant. She introduces etiquette rules and uses stories to illustrate them. Some of the stories are a bit extreme, but it is effective to get the point across.Some people may think that it is petty, but I don't think it is. Personally, I stopped talking to
