Customer Reviews
Trust the ExpertsOne might think the name 'Emily Post' to be intimidating when it comes to approaching the subject of social etiquette, but what this book, and all previous editions of Emily Post's Etiquette, quickly turns you onto is the fact that 'proper' social interaction isn't that complicated at all.At the end of the day, what the concept of etiquette comes down to is behaving in a way that shows respect for the people around you. This book is very down to earth; not at all the 'walk straight with a book upon your head' list of rules and regulations we might expect it to be. In fact, I'd like to suggest "The Book of Just Plain Common Sense" as an alternate title. It answers the questions of what to do when your coworkers offend you; whether or not it's a good idea to unfriend that guy on Facebook that you met at a party and has since filled your feed with political propaganda; even how to approach the friend who has a bit of a body odor problem. Is it OK to invite someone to a...

Emily Post Etiquette 18th Edition
At first I was beyond myself with excitement when this book finally arrived. Then I started reading it and was disappointed to see that the beautiful use of the English language and the firm but encouraging tone that characterized earlier editions of Etiquette was not present. I understand that the authors were being colloquial in order to be more "accessible", but it left me quite apathetic as opposed to inspired to be the very best that I could be. Also, etiquette by its very nature is quite conservative, and this book most certainly is not.Overall it's a good resource, and I mainly wanted this book for the reference material in the back (which, by the way, is extremely useful and the made the entire purchase worth my money), but it was very disappointing to see how our society has become so inelegant that even Emily Post Etiquette has succumbed. Aside from practical advice on technology, I would stick with the 17th Edition by Peggy Post alone.

Wedding Gift Etiquette | Wishpot Wedding Blog
In our world of relaxed rules, it’s easy to forget that there are certain guidelines that should be followed as you get ready to register for your wedding gifts. The rules in place are generally there to keep you from accidentally offending your guests. The first thing you want to do before registering is consider your audience: who are the people you’re inviting? Is there anyone who is super traditional? How about someone who has certain traditional tendencies? If you have even one traditional guest, or one guest you don’t know super well, you will want to be sure to use certain etiquette. You don’t want to offend anyone. If you are one-hundred percent certain that everyone on your guest list is super relaxed, then use your discretion about the rules. Here are the answers to commonly asked questions:
For the most part I agree with what you are saying, and I usually like your posts, but I think you are being a bit dramatic and fear-inducing when you talk about the potential to offend your guests or do something they won’t like. The reality that all of us (brides) have to accept is that we are most likely going to do something that our guests don’t like, so except for a few major etiquette rules (like not putting gift info on an invitation and sending a thank you note within 3 months, yes, that’s right, it’s not a year grace period), i think the rest is just a matter of taste and often where you are from. As for cash gifts specifically, there’s nothing wrong with preferring those anymore than your preference and communication of this preference for a certain set of dishes. And I think that guests want to give you something you can actually use and won’t return. We’re using depositagift.com for our cash gift registry site to register for things towards our honeymoon and new home. It’s a regular registry so we don’t have to work so hard to spread the word and it works great. Just keep in mind that there are many options out there.

Wedding gift etiquette - what's up with the one year rule?
I've heard that guests have up to one year from the time of the wedding to give a gift. Is this true? Where does this custom come from? Do many people actually wait months after the wedding before giving a gift?
A wedding gift is given to celebrate the ongoing *marriage* -- the new family, new home, new relationship -- not the *wedding* (which is a one-day event). Gifts should be sent to the bride's home prior to the wedding, or to the couple's home after the

Huntsville Wedding - Laura & Brandon
Laura Katherine Nabors & Brandon Phillip Cripps
October 16, 2010
Ceremony held at the Huntsville Depot Museum
Reception held at the Huntsville Depot Roundhouse
Where are you from? I am from Huntsville. Brandon grew up in a military family, so he moved around all his life. He moved to Huntsville in 2005 to pursue a master's degree at UAH.
How did you two meet? Brandon and I met in the spring of 2006 while we were both in school at UAH.
Tell us about the proposal. Brandon proposed to me on Christmas Eve 2009. He had hidden the ring in a space he had hollowed out in a copy of Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette , which he wrapped up and gave to me on Christmas Eve.
What was your vision for the wedding? We really wanted our wedding to be relaxed and comfortable for everyone involved. The Historic Huntsville Depot Roundhouse provided a perfect backdrop for our celebration. I wanted everything to be very organic and understated to match the rustic feel of our venue. I adored the Roundhouse's large windows and "old-timey" charm, and I was afraid that bold colors and too much decor would detract from the atmosphere, so I kept everything very minimal and natural.
