Rehearsal Dinner Etiquette

Masses,

I’ve been getting lots of email lately wondering what people should do at a Rehearsal Dinner/Groom’s Dinner.  As always I’m trying to make everyone’s wedding classy and a hit so while enjoying a martini from my martini set, (offered for sale now at www.thehandsomegent.com) I decided to jot down some thoughts.

First and foremost the bride and groom should always get up and thank everyone for coming.  And remember you should always thank people who have come along way.   It’s always good etiquette to invite people who have come from out of town to the Rehearsal Dinner and I’m afraid that includes her Uncle Barry from Des Moines.  These people have come a long way for you so I’m afraid it’s the proper thing to invite them.  Naturally, the bride and groom should thank the Groom’s parents also and it’s never in bad taste to thank the Bride’s parents either.

If you are a guest make sure to thank the Groom’s parents.  Traditionally, the Groom’s parents will pay for this dinner.  I realize this isn’t always the case these days but it’s always in good taste to thank them anyway.  You’ll never look bad with a simple thank you and a gracious handshake.  Speaking of the Groom’s parents, they should also get up and give a speech thanking people for coming.

After the meal is always a good time to pass out gifts to the wedding party.  You SHOULD NOT give gifts to your wedding party at the reception or the wedding.  How would that look to give out gifts to your wedding party while the rest of your guests sit there and feel like dirt dining on their chicken?  Plus, it’s one less thing to haul around to the reception or church.  Please, this should be common sense.

Gentleman, this is where I come in to help you.  Please peruse my award winning website to see what wonderful and classy ideas I have for you to give to your wedding party at the Groom’s Dinner.  Might I suggest the Barbeque Set now on sale at www.thehandsomegent.com.Why do I do this?  So that you, the masses, will also have classy wedding and Groom’s Dinner.  It is my duty.

You’re Welcome,

Royal Wedding, Groomsmen Gifts

Masses,

Got a call from Bill the other day, or as you call him Prince William, and as expected he ordered his groomsmen gifts through my award winning website, www.thehandsomegent.com.   He made a good choice on his decision for groomsmen gifts I felt, the ever popular poker set.  (Apparently his younger brother enjoys a good game of poker.  Who knew?)  

I can tell that Prince William will be an excellent and shrewd king when handling the kingdom’s finances.  How can I tell?  He happily took advantage of the reduced price of the poker set that I’m offering.  Plus, I can tell he’ll be a king of the people because he was excited about his free set of fake mustaches that I give with every order to every groom be it prince or pauper.

Naturally, he asked if I was going to make the wedding this summer.  I had to be blunt and let him know that I wasn’t sure due to my busy schedule.  (To be honest, I’d rather be on my yacht utilizing my martini set rather than sitting at a stuffy old royal wedding. Believe me, the house of Windsor does not know how to throw a reception.  I doubt they’ll even play YMCA at the reception.)  Also, my former flame Princess Madeleine will be there I’m sure and you know how ugly that can get.
