Book Review: Wedding Etiquette Hell: The Bride's Bible to Avoiding Everlasting Damnation

by Ilona Peltz, Posted Oct 22nd 2007 8:02AM

The title's a little over-the-top, I'll grant you, but the content is simplicity itself. Really, what it all boils down to is ... BE NICE. The tension, the fights, the strained and even broken relationships that litter the path to marital bliss in some bride's (and groom's) lives could almost all be avoided if we were just nice to each other. Considerate. Patient. And did not act like spoiled brats.

Along with those pithy sentiments, Jeanne Hamilton provides a wealth of darkly funny anecdotes gleaned from her website and good advice on tricky situations. She even takes down some wedding etiquette myths. (For example: Did you know you don't have to include RSVP cards? You don't! Now, given how many people don't reply even when you DO have them, you'd be crazy not to, but in fact, etiquette dictates that it's the guest's responsibility to let you know. Cards are a convenience for you, not them.)

Wedding Etiquette Hell is, in short, a h*lluva good read!
