The pleasure of your company is requested...
The Emily Post Institute will be hosting our second one-day wedding etiquette training for wedding professionals this summer in beautiful Bonita Springs, FL, on Tuesday, June 2, 2009. My aunt, Peggy Post, and I will lead an intensive day filled with courses on how to confidently navigate your brides and their families through wedding etiquette traditions and new trends.
Our first training in San Diego this January was such a huge success we decided we could wait another year to do it again. I was truly amazed at the depth of interest and experience that was shared and exchanged over the course of the day. It far exceeded my expectations, and was lots of fun to boot!
So we know that you come to our table with extensive knowledge and experience. Now, backed by Emily Post, you can give your clients the confidence that you’re the final word on wedding etiquette. Not bad when the bride and her mother are discussing (read: fighting tooth and nail) over technical points of wedding invitation wording, reception seating, gift registries and the bride's bouquet. We know you often become the mediator, and we will give you the insight into wedding etiquette to be able to navigate any situation that arises--even the ones you can't find in a book.
Peggy and I always have so much fun answering questions at book signing
and events, and we're excited to have the chance to spend the entire day sharing
our expertise with you again, answering all of your questions. The day
includes a formal lunch at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa, the complete six-book Emily Post
wedding library, and more. To keep the conversation intimate, the group will be limited to
30 spaces, which are already filling up.
We hope you can join us! To learn more, click on the link above, or contact Dawn Stanyon at 802-860-1814 or at dawn@emilypost.com.
I have a wedding question. Could you please tell me what the appropriate attire would be for boys 14-18 for a June, New York, formal, non-black tie, evening wedding? They are nephews of the groom and just guests, not in the party. Thank you!

Formal, not black tie, says to me a suit. They are the right age to own a suit for all dress-up occasions. A white shirts and tie. In June, it can be a light weight material, but not seersucker. Linen would wrinkle too easily for young men that age. Get creative with the tie. Match the bride's wedding colors, or choose a pastel.

Hi Emily,
I have question. What would be the proper attire for a food server when its hot and muggy outside. Currently they wear a black long sleeve shirt, black tie and black pleated pants. I want them to look good however I als want them to be as comfortable as possible:)
I thought of short black sleeves, bo tie with long black pants. Some of the out door venues are 90 to 110 degrees!
