What a great book

[Elaine D · Rating 2 out of 5]

I found this book at a rummage sale a few years before my wedding (I wasn't even engaged yet but we were getting close) so I picked it up and flipped through it. I held on to it and really utilized it when I got engaged in 2009. Unfortunately, I found it to be outdated and not quite as helpful as some other wedding books I found. This guide is geared almost exclusively toward etiquette, and not as much toward troubleshooting and planning. I did find it useful occasionally, but not nearly as much as a few others I had on hand.

Not 100% complete, but very helpful for writing invitations and addressing envelopes!
