By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 It's important to tell your daughter’s closest friends and family members first, before her parents hear it from her. This is an important gesture for your daughter.

#2 Once the VIPs have been informed about the engagement, the rest of the world is ready to hear about it. Make some phone calls to the relatives, or send out a slew of e-mails.

#3 If both sets of biological parents are still married, the announcement is a piece of cake. Simply include where each set of parents lives, and it’s done. If one or both sets of parents are divorced, the announcement will only mention the names of the parents who are still married.

#4 If your daughter is adamant about having a social media-free wedding, make sure her wishes are made clear to guests. You can have the couple post this on their password-protected wedding website, or display signage at the ceremony and a reminder printed in the program.

If you find yourself dealing with a bride who has no concept of the value of a dollar,
