| rehearsal dinner toasts by father: Miss Manners' Guide to a Surprisingly Dignified Wedding Jacobina Martin, Judith Martin, 2010-01-11 Bride and mother-of-the-bride rebel against today’s monster weddings and explain how weddings can be charming, affordable—and excruciatingly correct. Today’s brides are bombarded with wedding advice that promises perfection but urges achieving it through selfishness (“It’s your wedding, and you can do whatever you like”), greed (choosing the presents that guests are directed to buy), and showing off (“This is your chance to show everyone what you’re about”). Couples wishing to resist such pressure see elopement or a slapdash wedding as the only alternatives to a gaudy blowout. But none of these choices appealed to a bride who happened to have been brought up by Miss Manners. Judith Martin and her newlywed daughter, Jacobina, explain how to have a dignified ceremony and delightful celebration without succumbing to the now-prevalent pattern of the vulgar, money-draining wedding that exhausts families and exploits friends. |

In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be.

At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them. |

| rehearsal dinner toasts by father: Dining for Success Chitra Balasubramaniam, 2020-09-29 More and more business is conducted over the dining table in executive dining rooms, homes, clubs, and restaurants. This is today’s success strategy—entertaining. It is essential that you as a business professional feel confident in all dining situations. Knowing the ins and outs of dining etiquette will help put you and others at ease. We normally are perplexed about many things when we enter a star hotel, and we ask ourselves the following questions. - How to conduct ourselves with ease without showing any discomfort on our face? - Which fork is what? - What do I do with my napkin when briefly leaving the dining table? - Which way should my knife blade face when resting on my plate? - Which salad plate, bread and butter plate and drinks are mine? - How should I place my utensils when I am done with my meal? - How do I hold the different wine glasses? - During a business meal, when should I begin to discuss business? - Do I always pass the salt with the pepper even if someone asks for salt only? - Where do I place my name badge? - What does RSVP mean? Do you need a quick course in formal dining? Not just in basic eating, but you also have to know what to do with that place setting from Titanic? If you don't know amuse-bouche from other five to seven courses, let alone how to locate your bread plate, RELAX! You can easily brush up on your dining skills so you at least know how to handle yourself with grace at any social engagement or business meal. Remember, meals are supposed to be relaxing and entertaining—even business meals. |

| rehearsal dinner toasts by father: Half-Past Winter Nancy Hopkins Reily, 2017-11-15 Nancy Hopkins Reily thought she knew everything she needed to know when she published I Am At An Age in 1990 at age fifty. She says, “I had compiled my life’s experiences with metaphors using the mountains as background. I approached my experiences as universal experiences that everyone recognized as their life. Six months after the book was published I realized I had more to learn: in-laws, sandwich generation, writing, over thirty-four years of journaling with selective excerpts, sixty-four lines of genealogy, laurels, my aging, and grandchildren. I knew I would have to write a sequel.” And here it is, twenty-two years later. She has eliminated most of the metaphors. Some themes continue although homes, clothes and make-up have changed. But her persona has remained the same. Nancy says, “My ancestors gave me gifts. I read that my great-great grandmother (born 1812 in South Carolina) rode to Texas in a carriage with silver trimmings after her husband had died on their Jackson, Mississippi plantation. And I also found out, after reading my mother’s journals that she was voted unanimously the Queen of the May Pageant at Texas Christian University in 1928. Her journals of her European trip also provided insight into her relationship with my father.
