Bridget Mora published an article for CNN, "8 wedding etiquette dilemmas solved", which has some great advice on wedding etiquette. In today's world there are some new considerations regarding wedding etiquette, such as do you invite someone who does not support your same-sex union. And of course, there are the long-standing problems such as whose opinion wins out in choosing the wedding gown. I especially liked the advice of TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress", Randy Fenoli, in response to this question. I do wonder about Southern Weddings magazine's advice on how to respond to friends and relatives giving advice on the wedding planning. The magazine editors' response was to "Smile sweetly, and thank them graciously. Perhaps try this line: 'Well, bless your heart -- thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. We'll definitely take that into consideration." I think the response should end at "Smile sweetly, and thank them graciously". Adding the last part is a bit too sarcastic for me.
Etiquette is often dismissed in today's society but it shouldn't be. Take a look at the article and maybe there will be some answers to your own wedding etiquette questions.
