Introducing Real Etiquette

0 CommentsSaturday • August 15, 2009 • by DIY Bride

Times are a-changin’, my friends, and with these changing times comes a fair amount of uncertainty about how old school rules of etiquette fit in today’s lifestyle. When it comes to weddings – the things etiquette nightmares are made of – there is a lot of confusion around what’s proper, acceptable, or downright tacky. That’s where our new feature, Real Etiquette, comes in.

The Real Etiquette philosophy about etiquette is that it’s a fluid set of rules that’s designed to honor others and treat them with respect and dignity. By keeping the “rules” fluid, they can change with the times and adapt to any situation. Your maid of honor wants her “plus guest” to be that hot fling she met at the beach a couple of weeks ago? Are email invites ever ok? How do you word your invite when your gay father and his husband are hosting? No problem! We’ve got you covered.

We invite you to submit your pressing wedding-related etiquette dilemmas and we’ll set you straight – and give our readers a chance to weigh in, too.
