Everyone loves a great party. Engagement parties, an after party to keep celebrating with your friends, a morning brunch after the wedding reception…Weddings today are so much more than just the Big Day. The parties start months ahead and continue well afterward. But if you are the one throwing the party, there can be a lot to do and often questions about etiquette regarding your party.
Here’s a book that could answer many of those questions: Emily Post’s Wedding Parties by Anna Post, the great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post.
In Part 1, “It’s a Party!” Anna Post covers the vital stats of each party, be it an engagement celebration, couples’ shower, (bachelor)ette party, wedding week spa getaway, rehearsal dinner, reception, farewell brunch, or belated reception.
Part 2, “Party Smarts,” is packed with party-giving expertise to make every occasion a success: planning tips; figuring out finances; choosing food, flowers, and music; invitation how-to; handling uninvited guests and RSVP slackers; finding the perfect gift; making introductions and toasts; and more.
