"Planning a wedding raises all kinds of etiquette questions. We are thrilled to offer our guests the opportunity to raise some of these questions directly with Peggy," says Don Rowland, director of sales at The Partridge Inn. During the bridal show, guests can also register to win a $20,000 dream wedding from American Express Gift Cheques.

The American Express Gift Cheques sweepstakes offers brides and grooms the chance to win their dream wedding, valued at $20,000 (to register visit WeddingChannel.com). The two grand prize winners each will receive a check for $20,000 and a complementary bridal consultation with Peggy Post. The promotion is in celebration of the publication of "Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette," in which Peggy Post, WeddingChannel.com's etiquette authority, provides expert advice on the complex, often confusing, issues of today's weddings.
Addressing a variety of etiquette questions and challenges, this fully revised and updated edition of Emily Post's perennial classic provides sensible solutions for every stage of the wedding planning process - from the engagement to the bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and beyond. The book also covers such timely topics as encore weddings, multicultural ceremonies, ethnic customs, post-wedding duties, and how to work successfully with wedding consultants and others on your wedding team. Integrated throughout its text are informative sidebars and boxes to help busy brides-to-be glean essential knowledge quickly and easily.
