In the whirl of wedding planning, rules of etiquette can provide comfort and structure for a panicked couple suddenly confronted by words like "vellum" and "chiavari" for the first time in their lives.

Everyone knows what's going to happen, what their role is, who pays for what and when the cake will be served. They're often a fantastic link to the cultures and community from which the couples come and provide a tie to all the weddings... Read More

Not true. Print requires a much larger file size than the... Read More
