Let’s face it – wedding etiquette can be confusing. Especially if you’ve never been the type to follow tradition. That’s why we were delighted when we came across Elise Mac Adam’s Something New: Wedding Etiquette for Rule Breakers, Traditionalists, and Everyone in Between , which offers a fresh take on traditional bridal decorum. This is definitely not your grandmother’s etiquette book, but it’s chock full of advice for modern-day wedding concerns and situations that conventional etiquette books tend to ignore or gloss over. From gift registry guidelines for couples that want to elope to inviting your co-workers to the wedding, there’s nothing Mac Adam doesn’t cover. The book’s easy-to-follow format makes it simple for anyone to become an etiquette expert. Each chapter is divided into three sections: Traditional Basis (offering standard guidelines), Twisting Traditions (adapting them for today) and Etiquette in Action (offering insightful and humorous examples). Best of all, the Something New section addresses questions concerning every member of the wedding party, not just the bride and groom. So, whether it’s bridesmaid queries or colleague concerns, Mac Adam’s savvy words of wisdom will ease all those overwhelmed by nuptial obligations ($18, amazon.ca or Chapters).
