Emily on Emily: Reviving the Lost Art of Etiquette



Did you know that asparagus is actually a finger food? Or that chewing gum on the phone is a faux pas? In our hurried lifestyles, proper manners often fall by the wayside. It isn't until we begin planning a wedding that our Ps & Qs are put to the test. Particularly when trying to address those invitations!

There is no shortage of wedding manuals on the market today. But none is more essential or reliable than Emily Post's Etiquette. As the foremost authority on all things appropriate, Emily Post provides tried and true best practices for making the best impression at your wedding, at work, at school, anywhere and everywhere! With a chapter dedicated exclusively to weddings, Post provides instructions on everything from how and whether to form a receiving line, how to set a table (it's different depending on formality and type of dinner service you know), how to address your officiant and other VIPs, and how to handle those awkward disagreements with your mother-in-law.

Put simply, Emily Post's Etiquette is a must have for everyone and anyone. After all, good manners never go out of style!
