Wedding Parties: Expert Etiquette Advice from Anna Post
Special Appearance by Anna Post on Feb. 2 at 1 Fort Mason

San Francisco, CA— Do bridesmaids have to host a shower? Should you bring a gift to an engagement party? Must you attend four pre-wedding gatherings? How should you thank the person who hosted your shower? Who pays for the bachelor party? Should all of the out-of-town guests be invited to the rehearsal dinner?
Author Anna Post has the answers to these questions and many more in her book Emily Post’s Wedding Parties ($22.95). Anna will appear on Saturday, Feb, 2, 2008 at 1 Fort Mason to meet with brides and guests to answer their wedding etiquette questions. The event takes place from 10 am – 12 pm and is hosted by Amy Nichols Special Events. Mimosas and sweet treats will be served while Anna shares tips and insights. Tickets are $10.

Anna is the great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post and the newest member of the Post family to write about etiquette.

In her book, Anna looks at each celebration from a traditional perspective and explores trends in wedding parties and entertaining styles.
