    I’m going to my cousin’s wedding this weekend.  I’ve come to realize that an engaged person is the most dangerous type of wedding guest.  We cannot be trusted to simply enjoy the open bar and reconnect with the family or friends we’ve been thrust upon.  We are analysts. We are nit-pickers.  We are judges. OK, maybe I’m a little rash in using the first person plural.  Maybe the average bride-to-be goes to weddings during her engagement and is as gracious as the next guest.  Maybe you’re reading this thinking, “Wow, that Robin is a self-centered brat.”  Or maybe you ...

  • As the host or bride and groom of a wedding, we do all that we can to make our guests welcome and comfortable.  As a wedding guest, here are some things we can do to extend the hospitality towards our hosts: RSVP immediately.  As soon as you get the invitation, ideally.  Especially if you cannot attend – this will allow the hosts to possibly expand their guest list with plenty of time to send an invitation properly.  If the response card asks for entree selection, be sure to fill it in, and why not add a quick message to the back of the card – let the couple know how excited you are t...

    Did you know that approximately 12 million Americans have food allergies? According to many reports, the most common food allergies in adults are shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and eggs, and the most common food allergies in children are milk, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts. So how does this affect you as you plan your wedding menu? First and foremost, there are so many more food allergies than the ones noted above, so it is almost impossible to take care of everyone's needs.  But with some careful planning (and flexibility), it shouldn't prevent you from selecting the food ...

  • While shopping for a birthday gift recently, I overheard a group of ladies shopping for outfits to wear to an upcoming wedding of a friend. One stated, "this one is gorgeous, but you just can't wear black to a wedding". Her mind was clearly made up, so I didn't enlighten this complete stranger on the finer points of modern wedding etiquette. I'll tell you here, however, that is perfectly acceptable nowadays to wear a black dress to an evening wedding. The style of the dress should match the formality of the event, and should be a fun, party-style dress. For afternoon weddings, an outfit w...

    Filed under: FashionOkay, slightly misleading title -- I have the perfect accessory for the wedding guests unless you're able to nab Brad Pitt for your arm candy. Then that's the perfect accessory. Alas, most of us will not be taking Mr. Pitt with us to many weddings, and so, I recommend a cashmere wrap.I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who complained that she had five or six weddings to attend in the next six months, and they were spread out all over the country. Not only is this pricey, but it can make wardrobe difficult -- a dress that would be appropriate and comfortable for ...
