Making The Wedding Etiquette Announcements</p>
<p>Beginning on the day he proposed, there are certain wedding etiquette announcements to be observed. The couple should be aware of these wedding etiquette announcements or else wedding could fall into jeopardy.</p>
<p>There are wedding etiquette announcements to be observed when breaking the news to the parents. First, let the people closest to you know of your plans. The groom must ask the bride’s parents for her hand in marriage. It is traditional that men do wedding etiquette announcements to both families but modern times have changed this. Now, both of them can make the wedding etiquette announcements together personally.</p>
<p>The wedding etiquette announcements for friends can be personally by the couple. They can also plan a party for both their friends and turn it into an engagement party. The couple on this event can choose their maid of honor and best man.</p>
<p>Wedding etiquette announcements for sponsors should be done personally with the help of the parents. The sponsors can be chosen by influence, convenience, prestige, or by relationship.  The important thing to remember is to get them to commit in being your sponsors and list them down in your planner.</p>
<p>The wedding etiquette announcements for wedding details can be overwhelming, which is why most couples hire a wedding coordinator. If your budget can fit in the fee for this person’s services, hire them. It will greatly lift the pressure of planning, organizing and supervising the entire event.</p>
<p>The maid of honor often performs wedding etiquette announcements for the bridal shower. The bridesmaids, mother and other women family members are invited to chip in and join the event. Depending on what they have prepared, the bride can expect something as elegant as a garden tea party or wild as a trip to the local men’s strip joint.</p>
<p>The best man makes the wedding etiquette announcements for the bachelor party or stag party. Stag parties require little preparation since most parties only require five things: the groom, food, drinks, music and entertainment. The entertainments have wedding etiquette announcements of using either a stripper or just a regular DVD player and watching x-rated movies.</p>
<p>There is a third option of making wedding etiquette announcements for a “couple” shower. Friends of both the bride and groom organize and celebrate this event. The best choice for this is to have a themed party, something with fantasy on it like a masque ball or have it done like Carmen Elektra and her husband Dave of Inxs where it was one big stripper party.</p><div style="float:right;margin-left:1.0em;padding:0;"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-hz44"> </SCRIPT></div>
<p>The wedding preparations:</p>
<p>The wedding etiquette announcements for the flowers should be booked months in advance. The same goes for the caterer, the arranger and the musicians. If the couple decides to hire a wedding coordinator, this will be an easier job for them. </p>
<p>The wedding etiquette announcements for the dress fitting is should also be made weeks in advance. Any adjustments to the dress can be done as the wedding date comes closer. For the men, their clothes are classic pieces so it is no problem for the coordinator. However, it is a must that the groomsmen have a neat hair cut prior to the wedding.</p>
<p>The photography and video documentation needs of the couple should be provided by the coordinator. As a rule, wedding etiquette announcements for photo and video coverage of the wedding can be open to bidders.  This way they couple can sample the best work and hire the one they like most at a price that they can handle.</p>
<p>On the wedding event:</p>
<p>Within weeks of the big day, the wedding etiquette announcements for invitations should have already been mailed. Along with it are the wedding etiquette announcements regarding the attire, program, location of the wedding and a map to the reception.</p>
<p>The wedding etiquette announcements for the wedding program at the ceremony is usually printed and given to the guests as they arrive at the church. The couple can skip this if they prefer an informal ceremony. </p>
<p>With the solemnity of church celebration over, it is now time for everyone to relax at the reception. There is still another program in the event but most of it is well-wishes, thanksgiving and entertainment for everyone who attended the wedding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin-right:1.0em;padding:0;"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-hz44"> </SCRIPT></div><p>Weddings Brings Back The Love For Divorced Parents</p>
<p>Dealing with divorced parent in a wedding can be tricky and complicated. While coping with the situation will be stressful particularly for the brides, having a beautiful wedding despite having divorced parents is never impossible. </p>
<p>Divorced parents of the bride or groom should participate in the wedding ceremony. In addition, they also to the rehearsal dinner even if they will likely act horribly. Not inviting the parents will create more trouble. The parents may or may not have to host the rehearsal dinner, which is supposedly one of the most relaxing portions of the wedding process. </p>
<p>Indicating in an Invitation</p>
<p>-       The name of the mother is the first written then followed by the father. The word “AND” cannot be used between the names. </p>
<p>-       The names of the mother and stepfather can be written in the invitation if the father has not been involved in the life of the bride or groom since she/he was a baby. </p>
<p>-       The individuals whose names are appearing on the invites do not have to be always the ones paying for the wedding despite popular belief.  </p>
<p>Sharing in costs </p>
<p>The couple should consider opening a checking account that will solely contain expenses for the wedding. The divorced parents should be asked on how much they can contribute. It is advisable to ask a check for a lump sum that will be deposited to the wedding account in order to make the money easily accessible whenever it is needed. </p>
<p>Seating arrangement </p>
<p>If the divorced parents are not speaking with each other, it is advisable that the two should be seated apart from the each other. One of them might be attending with someone the other parent cannot be comfortable with. Etiquette dictates that mother and stepfather occupy the first row, while father and stepmother sit on the second row. </p>
<p>However, the divorced parents can be seated with each other if they are on good terms but will likely have to stay in different areas during the reception. </p><div style="float:right;margin-left:1.0em;padding:0;"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-hz44"> </SCRIPT></div>
<p>No families are the same, as each has different problems and scenarios that affect relationships. Communication is the most important way to keep relationships strong. The couple have a responsibility of keeping the divorced informed about the progress of the wedding and they should also be given a chance to contribute. Never compare the behaviour of one parent to another, as this could result in conflict. </p>
<p>A wedding ceremony follows certain etiquette in order to make the occasion flow seamlessly. </p>
<p>-       In a semi-private wedding, bridesmaids and groomsmen should perform certain responsibilities in assisting the bride and groom. </p>
<p>-       The bridesmaids should obviously be younger than the bride and their outfils should complement each other. The dresses of the bridesmaids can include more ornaments and composed of light and graceful fabric. Flowers should serve as the main decoration.</p>
<p>-       The wedding gown should be very simple but can be combined with few jewels or ornaments coming from the parents or groom. The most attractive part of the dress should be the garland and veil. </p>
<p>-       The bridesmaids should help the bride in wearing the wedding gown and attending to guests. Bridemaids should position themselves at the bride’s left side during the ceremony. The first bridesmaid should be responsible in keeping the bouquet and gloves. </p>
<p>-       Bridesmaids can be positioned from the tallest to the shortest from the couple in order to be symmetrical. A bridesmaid and groomsman with similar height can be paired with each other.</p>
<p>-       The groomsmen are assigned to receive the clergyman and then lead him to the couple. They should be positioned groom’s right side during the wedding ceremony. </p>
<p>Ceremony in Church </p>
<p>The bride enters from the left side walking with her father followed by her bridesmaids. The groom enters the room from the right and is followed by his groomsmen. The parents come from behind the entourage, while the attendants can stand from either side. </p>
<p>The glove of the bride does not need to be snug, as it will be taken off later in the ceremony. In addition, the ring should be placed where the groom can easily see it to avoid delaying the ceremony.</p>

<p>Open bar wedding party has been gaining popularity these days because more and more couples have been celebrating an evening wedding. With open bar, guests are free to order any brand of drink to their liking without limit as to how many shots or glasses they should order.</p>
<p>However, some couples with limited budget see cash bar as the best option for them.  As opposed to open bar, guests must pay for every drink that they order in a cash bar wedding party. The newly weds won&#8217;t be held liable for a guest&#8217;s non-payment of a drink ordered. Guests should leave a bill for a drink the way a customer does when he ordered a drink in a local bar.</p>
<p>If you, a groom or bride-to-be, are concerned with wedding etiquette, wedding etiquette specialists will tell you not to go for a cash bar. If you would be graded for a wedding etiquette examination, saying yes to a cash bar has a grade of zero.</p>
<p>For specialists on wedding etiquette, cash bar is not an option even for couples who are tight on a budget.  Since cash bar violates wedding etiquette, wedding etiquette specialists say that you should expect snide remarks from your guests if you pursue a cash bar wedding party. You might even hear them saying things like, the newly wed do not know wedding etiquette, or if they couldn&#8217;t afford an open bar, they shouldn&#8217;t have hosted a cocktail party at all and they should have stayed with a sit down dinner.</p>
<p>Guests who would make such a remark obviously are unaware of wedding etiquette too. But just the same, we cannot silence them for making such remarks.</p><div style="float:right;margin-left:1.0em;padding:0;"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-hz44"> </SCRIPT></div>
<p>Some wedding etiquette books even say that if you are thinking of a cash bar night party, make a pass for a night party; it&#8217;s better not to have a night party at all if it would be a cash bar.</p>
<p>- Solution to Cash Bar</p>
<p>There is a solution though to cash bar. According to books on wedding etiquette, you can implement the semi-open bar. With this strategy, you won&#8217;t worry about violating wedding etiquette through cash bar and you won&#8217;t need a big budget to throw an open bar wedding party.</p>
<p>Wedding etiquette specialists would recommend you to open bar the first two drinks to your wedding guests and cash bar the ordered drinks thereafter.</p>
<p>Two drinks are considered socially acceptable standards for social drinking. In implementing the semi open, semi cash bar wedding party, you have satisfied the needs of guests expecting you to practice wedding etiquette while at the same time you have satisfied yourself for not spending too much.</p>
<p>Many couples who are not limited on a budget implement the two-drink open bar and cash bar afterwards cocktail or evening wedding party. This is to avoid excessive drinking from wedding guests, and for wedding guests to maintain social composure.</p>

Recommended Wedding Etiquette Books </p>
<p>In every part of the world, ladies dream of weddings. More often than not, they succeed in getting one. Thus, for every nation or country, in every culture, there are weddings. </p>
<p>Weddings have become inevitable events in modern society. But, it is clear and apparent that weddings have become, in a sense, a way of lifestyle. It can be attributed to the Western influence.</p>
<p>Wedding traditions, be it for Americans, Asians, Europeans, Africans or any race, have become universalized. When you say universalized, it means the event has adhered to same customs and traditions. </p>
<p>Thus, we have wedding etiquettes. Wedding etiquettes can vary from one country to another. But the variations are only slight and minimal. Moreover, the ethics and etiquettes in weddings are all but the same.</p>
<p>
Because being into weddings or attending weddings have become a way of our modern life, people can get anxiety knowing that there are certain gestures that can be considered not likely during weddings. </p>
<p>If you are a bride or a groom, the anxiety can get really concerning. The couple will have to undergo a hard time&#8212;on wedding jitters and on anxiety from wedding customs. </p>
<p>Thus, the best way to help the soon-to-be-wed couple is to educate them about certain wedding etiquettes. </p>
<p>Because learning venues for wedding etiquettes can get so distracting, awkward and embarrassing at the same time, it is advisable that those needing briefings for wedding etiquettes consult the book stands. </p>
<p>The following are several of the highly recommended readings or books for or about wedding etiquettes. To get to know the books better, or to absorb what they have to say, get to the nearest book store or go to your favorite online shopping site to place an order. </p>

<p>The book tackles etiquettes for everyday living. Included in the topics covered are how to deal with annoying neighbors, how to choose and send the perfect gift for every occasion, professionalism at work, camaraderie with colleagues and friends, dealing with unlikely relatives and so on. </p>
<p>Because the book covers everything etiquette, of course, a few pages are allotted to weddings. The wedding etiquettes mentioned in the book are glimpses and shortened or simplified, but they still are effective tips. </p>
<p>“Crane’s Wedding Blue Book” by Steven L. Feinberg. Mr Steven Feinberg’s wedding book is very detailed and covers everything about wedding etiquettes. </p>

The wedding etiquettes covered by the book extend to until after the honeymoon, when the couple should have finished giving out thank you cards to their wedding guests. </p>
<p>The book also gives tips and guidelines on what kind and color of paper to use when printing out invites and than you notes. It also deals with the proper way of handling unlikely, and yes, even wedding crashers. </p>
<p>“The Everything Wedding Etiquette Book: Insights and Advice on Handling Even the Stickiest Wedding Issues” by Emily Ehrenstein and Laura Morin. The book gives out little and practical do’s and don’ts during weddings. </p>
<p>The book takes the issues from the different perspectives of that of the bride, the groom, the parents, the maid of honor, the bride’s maids, the groom’s men, stepmothers, down to the guests. </p>
<p>The book boasts of practical solution to every concern and awkward situations that occur during weddings. The situations discussed can sometimes get cute, amusing and funny, but you can tell that they are timely and truthful. Several sticky situations, for sure, have happened to you. </p>

Be My Wedding Guest: Dress Nicely…</p>
<p>The date of your friend’s weeding is happily circled on your calendar and you have started to scout for that perfect outfit. However, you still have no idea what to wear.</p>
<p>The etiquette for the right wedding attire for a guest over 40 can be very different depending on the wedding’s style. However, clues are available to help you make the right decision. An invitation that is formally crafted in an indication that the wedding you’ll be attending will also be formal. An invite with casual wording will call for nice casual outfit. The invitation can also have direct instructions.</p>
<p>The location of the wedding is also a good basis. A dress that easily gets caught in the wind will not be appropriate for an outdoor wedding. High heels should be avoided, as these easily sink in the grass or in the sand. A breezy dress will help keep you cool in a hot location rather that a suit. A more dressy and tailored outfit can be used in a wedding held indoors such as a five-star restaurant and country club.</p>
<p>Daytime wedding attire for guests</p>
<p>For the Woman over 40</p>
<p>·  a dress with a floral design<br />
·  a sweater set coupled with slingback shoes and a nice skirt. A light colored suit – avoid anything that looks to formal.<br />
·  a beautiful hat that blends with what your are wearing.</p>
<p>For the Man over 40 </p>
<p>·  In weddings during the summer season a light-colored suit, especially seersucker or linen. <br />
·  Warmer clothing is appropriate for winter weddings. Selections include wool suits, a slightly dark blazer with charcoal pants, and possibly a sweater and tie below a blazer.<br />
·  A dress shirt, dress and tie pants can be used. A blazer can be used for added touch. <br />
·  A dark suit is best suited for a formal wedding. Tuxedoes should be worn before 6 pm.</p>
<p>Evening Wedding<br />
Female Over 40 </p>
<p>·  Dress like as if you are going to dinner or theatre. <br />
·  Wear a not too sexy cocktail dress that is fun to dance in. Black is good.<br />
·  A cocktail suit or a dressy suit<br />
·  To look more sophisticated wear darker colors.<br />
·  Beads or sequins should be avoided if not specified especially if it is not a black tie affair.</p>
<p>For the Man Over 40</p>
<p>·  Dark suits are always acceptable<br />
·  Blazer and slacks matched  with a nice tie can be worn in a casual or semi-formal wedding.  </p>
<p>Black-tie optional</p><div style="float:right;margin-left:1.0em;padding:0;"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-hz44"> </SCRIPT></div>
<p>Female Over 40</p>
<p>·  A cocktail dress reaching the floor</p>
<p>For the Man Over 40</p>
<p>·  A tuxedo is the perfect thing to wear in this occasion.<br />
·  The guest should dress as formally as possible.</p>
<p>THINGS NOT TO WEAR: </p>
<p>-  Anything white is discouraged especially those that do not have prints. Those that choose to do so should make sure they do not upstage the bride. <br />
-  Anything dark during a daytime wedding<br />
-  Jeans<br />
-  Anything too revealing or sexy<br />
-  Anything with holes, stained or torn and anything too small or too big.<br />
-  Anything strapless or sleeveless in a no-no especially to a religious wedding. A wrap should be brought to cover bare shoulders.</p>
<p>Proper etiquette for Wedding Guests</p>
<p>·  Never be late! Try to attend at least 15 minutes before the stated start time of the wedding ceremony. This will give you time to be get settled and find a seat.</p>
<p>·  Guests should avoid taking photographs of the wedding. Professionals photographers have already been hired and it is important to preserve the sanctity of the ceremony.</p>
<p>·  Bringing a gift during the wedding day is not required. Guests actually a full year to send their wedding gift to the couple. Bringing it will only create a problem for someone assigned to carry it.</p>
<p>·  The gift is still a must even if you fail to attend the wedding. </p>
<p>·  Bringing will only be allowed if it is specified in the invitation. Serving every person in the wedding reception will likely be expensive for the couple. Bringing uninvited guests is very rude.</p>
<p>·  The wedding reception may be nice time to have fun having too much fun is very impolite. Avoid getting drunk and mingling too much people you barely know.</p>

<p>Invited guests who do not respond to an invitation are the major cause of headaches to the bride and groom. There are guest who will say regrets to the bride and groom just a day before the wedding day. While some guests will not reply to the invitation at all and then show up without notice to the wedding ceremony and wedding reception.</p>
<p>Wedding Etiquette Advice #1 says this act is totally rude! Today, the bride and groom pay for their own wedding. They rely on their savings and salary to fund their wedding. They are not asking their fathers anymore to host their big day.</p>
<p>So, with the limited budget that the couples have allotted for their wedding (of course they need to save some as a startup money). The couples need to know the exact head count so they would know if they will go over their budget. And failure of guests to reply to an RSVP will give the bride and groom headaches. They would not know how many guests should they book in the hotel or caterer. And also, if you aware of this fact, if the bride and groom add you to the guest list and they inlist you for a sit-down dinner, they will pay for your head even though you did not attend the wedding.</p>
<p>Please follow this wedding etiquette advice if you don&#8217;t want to be called an unmannered brute. Reply to an invitation immediately if you must, or at least two week before the wedding day.</p><div style="float:right;margin-left:1.0em;padding:0;"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-hz44"> </SCRIPT></div>
<p>We, guests, expect the bride and groom to practice wedding attique, and so should we.</p>
<p>Wedding Etiquette Advice 2: Thou shalt be dress appropriately.</p>
<p>This wedding etiquette advice is not meant to promote fashion, although being fashionable is really good. This wedding etiquette advice came next to the wedding etiquette advice on responding immediately to an invitation. Because after you respond to an invitation, the next thing you will do is either buy a gift (if you still have some spare money to buy your bride friend a gift) or attend the wedding (if you do not have the money to buy a gift, you can skip the gift giving).</p>
<p>This wedding etiquette advice is for your own good. You would not want to look like a gate crasher in your friends weddign, or do you? If it is a formal wedding, you would not want to be caught wearing a jeans and t-shirt, right? You would definitely look like a gate crasher if you are not dressed properly. </p>
<p>The wedding etiquette advice if the event is informal: please refrain from wearing jeans and tank top or t-shirt. For women, kindly wear a cocktail dress or a pretty Sunday dress. For men, please, if you may, wear your suit. Just forgo your tie. You can even roll up your sleeves and open the top button of your shirt to make it look less forma. You would definitely look dashing in a suit!</p>
<p>Wedding Etiquette Advice 3: Thou shalt greet the newlyweds.</p>
<p>Brides and grooms want to feel you are happy for them and your greetings will greatly be appreciated. This wedding etiquette advice is not hard, isn&#8217;t it? All you have to do is go to the bride and groom and greet the bride, &#8220;Best Wishes&#8221; while the groom &#8220;Congratulations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Saying your greetings is not only a thumbs-up act, it is also a kind one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin-right:1.0em;padding:0;"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-hz44"> </SCRIPT></div><p>The Right Way to Dress: Wedding Etiquette for Clothing</p>
<p>In our modern society, no one would care if you break a small rule or bend some rules to make accommodate your wishes. And this also applies to wedding ettiquette + clothing. You can break some wedding etiquette rule according to your wishes.</p>
<p>Although old and traditional rules have now been modified, you should learn the basic wedding etiquette on clothing before you bend some and break some. </p>
<p>Below are some guide for you, bride-to-be, on wedding etiquette + clothing:</p>
<p>&#8211; Wedding Etiquette on Clothing for Bride</p>
<p>Traditionally the bride wears white. This is said to signify virginal purity and innocence. But these days there&#8217;s a slight changes in wedding etiquette on clothing for bride. Brides are now allowed to wear a variation of white, such as ivory, creme, and pale pastel colors to match the wedding&#8217;s color motif. </p>
<p>For a widow bride who will wed for the second time, the tradition is for a bride to wear lilac or lavander. However, modern brides don&#8217;t follow this tradition faithfully. Even ministers and priests allow widow brides to wear wedding dress that they feel appropriate. In fact modern wedding etiquette + clothing on widow bride is cream or ivory colored wedding dress. </p>
<p>For a church wedding, brides are asked to wear formal and more traditional wedding dress. The old wedding etiquette on clothing for church wedding has been kept for centuries although the church do allow creme colored wedding dress and a tube and low back style wedding dress as long as the shoulders are draped with semi-transparent cloth or the veil covers it. </p>
<p>With wedding that will be held at the registry office or which is more know as the civil wedding ceremony, brides are allowed to wear any wedding dress that they like. Simple evening dress may do, even your regular working clothes may do. With civil wedding ceremony, the rule on wedding etiquette + clothing do not apply. </p>
<p>Of course, if you want to avoid cringing at your photograph when people look at it or if you yourself look at it in the future, don&#8217;t try to wear a wedding dress that don&#8217;t look good at you. Forget the wedding etiquette on clothing, just follow the few good teachings of street smart sensibilities. Extreme fashion didn&#8217;t look good yesterday and won&#8217;t look good today and tomorrow.</p>
<p>The wedding etiquette on clothing if the bride is formally dressed, the rest of the wedding party and wedding guests should be formally dressed.</p><div style="float:right;margin-left:1.0em;padding:0;"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-hz44"> </SCRIPT></div>
<p>&#8211; Wedding Etiquette on Clothing for Groom</p>
<p>The traditional wedding etiquette on clothing for the groom, the male members of the family and the groomsmen should wear morning dress. For evening weddings the modern wedding etiquette on clothing for groom is Tuxedo and black bow tie. For civil ceremonies, groom may wear suit or match the dress theme of his bride. If his bride will sport a summer look, he should wear a soft, flowing, linen polo and beige cotton pants to match his bride&#8217;s summer get-up.</p>
<p>&#8211; Wedding Etiquette on Clothing for Bridesmaids</p>
<p>Wedding etiquette on clothing for bridesmaid dictates that bridesmaids should wear any dress that the bride chooses for them. However, bridesmaids may choose to dress differently with each other. It is acceptable that bridesmaids have different dress the designs. The only thing that they should maintain is the color of the dress. They should wear the same color, the color that the bride requires. </p>
<p>&#8211; Wedding Etiquette on Clothing for Male Attendants</p>
<p>Ushers and best man cannot choose the dress that they want. They will dress the same as the groom. If the groom wears a morning dress or a tuxedo and a black bow tie, then so will they.</p>
<p>&#8211; Wedding Etiquette on Clothing for Immediate Family</p>
<p>Any close family will dress formally. The two mothers, that of the bride and  the groom, must not both wear dress of the same color, while the fathers wear any dress that the groom chooses. The choices, however, is just between black tie and morning dress.</p>
<p>&#8211; Wedding Etiquette on Clothing for Guests</p>
<p>The invitation speaks what guests should wear. A formal invitation requires them to wear a formal attire. Modern wedding etiquette on clothing for guests has allowed male guests to wear black tie even if the wedding is a bit informal. For the female guests, they are now allowed to wear evening dress to match their partner&#8217;s black tie.</p>
