Wedding Etiquette as it Relates to Engagement Parties
The following is a post by http://www.swsmag.net titled: Etiquette with Emily: Engagement Party Guest List which we found newsworthy to republish in part for our readers. There is just so much to learn when planning your wedding, and wedding etiquette is a topic you don’t want to overlook. Enjoy…
Welcome back to Etiquette with Emily! To recap, my first column addressed a contentious issue which y’all responded quite passionately to: wearing white to a wedding. The consensus seemed to be that it was stylish to dress your bridal party in shades of white and cream, but that to be safe, it was better to steer clear of white clothing as a guest. Check out the debate here.
But on to our next topic: the engagement party guest list. My older sister recently got engaged (YAY!). As I’m sure you can guess, this is VERY exciting to me. She and her now-fiance are planning an August 2010 wedding on the coast of Maine. They live in the Midwest; my family lives on the East Coast; and his family lives on the West Coast. K+C will be heading East for the Christmas holidays, and my parents are thinking of throwing them an engagement party. Lots of our family friends are eager to see and congratulate them, and (as my Mom says) the house will already be dressed for Christmas, so why not?
