Our Swell Exclusive to you… Wednesday Wedding Etiquette from the Past… Until Now

Emily Post’s Etiquette 1957.  The classic.  It really is no wonder that I became a Wedding Coordinator because my Grandma used to read

to me from that book…  Emily Post’s Etiquette.   I was HOOKED!  Love rules… and guidelines…with a light-hearted touch.  So, I’m sharing with you, a little Wednesday Wedding Etiquette.  I hope to keep this going for a while, so stay tuned!
From 1957 to 2010, a few things have changed.
Rule #1:
1957 by Emily Post:  “The first fact to remember is that all the expense of a wedding belong to the bride’s Parents.”
2006 by Peggy Post: “Traditionally, the bride’s family assumes the burden of most wedding costs… Nowadays, however, just 27 percent of weddings are paid for soley by the birde’s parents.”
Good news for Bride’s Parents?
