5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Resource for Teaching Business Manners Today.......2007-01-03

Using this guide has helped me to design the learning targets for a new business college course to teach business manners to young people who are just entering the business world. The book's contents cover everything from table setting to travelling for business purposes and has been an invaluable help to my course planning.

4 out of 5 stars Very helpful business book.......2005-12-06

I have found this to be a very helpful book in how to deal with people in a business. Though there are a few things which I feel are not the right approach and are just the opinion of the author, I think many would do well to study this book and put it into practice.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent overview.......2001-01-03

This is an excellent overview of the subject of business etiquette in the new millennium. Chock full of advice and tips. Look forward to more from these authors.

Book Description

Good manners matter – and not just during formal events. Etiquette isn’t just about which fork to use or how to hold a teacup. Good manners and etiquette are as important in the supermarket checkout line as they are at a state dinner. They are the key to surviving every human contact with your sense of humor and self-esteem intact. In most cases, it’s just a matter of good old  “Golden Rule” common sense – do unto others as you would have them do unto you: for example, staying home from a dinner party when you’re sick. And yes, sometimes it is about the right fork or the right form address.

Wise, funny, and practical, Etiquette For Dummies is just what you need to be on your best behavior in every situation. From office parties to extended families, email to introductions, Sue Fox covers it all in this smart, sassy guide. Among other things, you’ll find out how to:

Once you start it, you’ll probably want to read Etiquette For Dummies from cover to cover. But you don’t have to. This ready reference was designed to let you plunge in anywhere and get what you need on:

Packed with practical tips and examples, this anything-but-prissy primer explains how to behave with courtesy and consideration, whether you’re answering your cell phone, opening a gift, attending a bat mitzvah, or addressing your father-in-law.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent for teens!.......2007-08-12

I have given this book to all my nieces and nephews and other young people. It gives excellent tips and hints about how to avoid social mistakes and how to feel more at ease in social situations. It is very easy to read, with a good format, and highlights special tips to remember. It is a good preparation for high school students and those going off to college as well as young people who are entering the business world for the first time. A good summary of the basics.

5 out of 5 stars Etiquette For Dummies.......2007-08-05

This is a fabulous way to reinforce life lessons for upper elementary to middle school aged children. It covers the basics to the contemporary. I love it.

4 out of 5 stars Good book to have on hand...........2007-07-05

Everyone should touch up on their etiquette every few years.
The world would be a better place if more people read this book.

4 out of 5 stars Simple, practical, but "corporate".......2007-01-03

If you feel you were raised in a barn and in need of a primer on the basics of etiquette, this is the book for you. It includes very helpful diagrams on formal table settings, clearly defines dresscodes like "business casual" and "semi-formal," and maps out proper wedding and baby shower behavior.

Author Sue Fox founded Etiquette Survival, Inc. [...] and you can tell from the tone of this book that most of her company's interactions are with the business world. Reading chapters like "Your Most Important Presentation: Yourself," you can almost see the powerpoint presentation undoubtedly accompanying the author's corporate etiquette talks. Since Fox also wrote "Business Etiquette for Dummies," the focus on corporate culture seems a little puzzling and redundant. A lot of us seeking etiquette advice work as tradespeople, teachers, healthcare professionals, and homemakers (read: not corporate employees) - so a more general tone would be appreciated.

There are a few details about this book that may prove irritating for some. For one, the tone of Fox's publication is decidedly less light-hearted, fun, and funny than most other "For Dummies" books. Rather than poking fun at etiquette "rules" (and herself), Fox comes across as a rather wooden, opinionated stickler at times. The pages of this tome abound with recommendations for ladies to always wear flesh-colored hose in the workplace and pronouncements that e-mail is a lesser form of communication than the handwritten letter. Since this book was published in 1999, some of the information in it also seems a bit dated (ex. references to beepers going off in restaurants).

When this book is reprinted and revised, it would be nice to see Fox's prim and proper persona tempered a bit by a more humorous, self-deprecating co-author who can step back and see etiquette as a set of historically-grounded skills to be learned rather than a set of unchanging rules. First and foremost, etiquette is about respecting other people's feelings and abiding by the golden rule (thus etiquette can change from situation to situation), and I don't think Fox highlighted that enough at the beginning of the book and throughout. Updated, tweaked more for the general public than the corporate world, and given a generous dose of humor, this could be a five-star book.

4 out of 5 stars Comprehensive.......2006-08-18

This book is surprisingly comprehensive and covers a variety of topics and situations.

It's a good resource for how to handle yourself, what to do, and how to do things in a scores of different situations.

If you're planning a wedding, accept it now--there's a ton of details mucking up the happy path to the altar. There is so much on your mind that it's easy to freeze up and forget everything, or go crazy and paper the house with cryptic post-it notes. "After all," say authors Marcy Blum and Laura Fisher Kaiser, "a wedding is a complex affair to orchestrate, and keeping track of all those details, phone calls, expenses, and decisions is a job and a half." Organization is key.

Wedding Kit for Dummies breaks the whole planning process down for you with a series of questions, charts, and spreadsheets. Intended as a companion piece to Weddings for Dummies, this book does not help you word your invitations or tell you where your step-grandmother should be seated. Rather, it helps you knowledgeably talk with your stationer (How much extra are the vellum invites? Should the date be written out or numeric?) and helps you chart who will escort whom down the aisle and when.

Weddings can be ridiculously complicated, and almost everyone involved--especially the bride--is running on high. Wedding Kit for Dummies aims to lessen the stress with its comprehensive checklists, examples of contracts (for the caterer, hotel, flowers, DJ, etc.), and Excel spreadsheets (invitation list, RSVP list, budget tracker). Included is a CD-ROM that prints out hard copies of the lists and runs the spreadsheets (you'll need Windows 95 or later or Mac OS 7.5.5 or later to use the CD). And since so many couples plan on using the Internet, Wedding Kit for Dummies includes the Web addresses of many wedding-oriented sites. --Dana Van Nest

3 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2007-02-14

I ordered this book again, since the first one I purchased, the cd was broken. The seller, returned my money and told me to keep the book...but what I really wanted was the cd. So I ordered the book again. Now, I have the cd and it is only good for 30 days.

3 out of 5 stars Almost requires the other book.......2006-02-25

I thought Wedding Kit For Dummies would be Weddings for Dummies plus the CD, it's not. It actually references stuff that's in the other book as if I'm going to buy both.

All in all it's not bad, it's just frustrating.

5 out of 5 stars HONOST.......2005-09-12

The book I purchased was no in the condition which it stated and this seller was very honest about it. The seller gave me the option to have a full refund since the book did not come with the CD. I'd buy from this person again.

1 out of 5 stars BUYER BEWARE.......2005-01-20

The CD doesn't include the software that it says it does. You have to hunt in the book to find the information that the software included is TRIAL versions only (you can get full versions for a "nominal" fee). It says it includes excel and excel documents which are simply NOT present on the CD. DO NOT BUY!

1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money.......2004-10-12

If you know how to read, you're too smart for this book. Marcy Blum's approach is 1) condescending and 2) geared toward a big-budget crowd. The CD-ROM is difficult to use and the anecdotes in the text are tired. I'd suggest buying another dozen roses and saving your money.

At last! An antidote to Martha Stewart. Entertaining for Dummies is a book for the rest of us--a no-nonsense guide to planning and executing every kind of social gathering from a picnic to a formal holiday dinner. The book is divided into five parts; in the first, you'll get plenty of useful tips on planning parties, from making guest lists and planning seating arrangements to arranging the furniture for maximum comfort. Part 2 helps you plan your menu, while Part 3 offers suggestions on how to make a great impression on your guests. This is the chapter to come to if you're wondering just how to set the table or whether it's proper to eat asparagus with your hands. In Part 4, Entertaining for Dummies demonstrates that even ordinary occasions, such as the evening meal, can be social events, then segues into discussions of holiday parties, children's parties, and business entertaining. The last section is "the fun part" in which lots more menus are offered up along with some cooking tips and lots of great once-in-a-lifetime party ideas, such as a "Journey to Ancient Egypt" or a western-style harvest moon celebration. Entertaining for Dummies tells you everything you need to know to make every social gathering a roaring success.

Book Description

Whether you love to entertain or just do so to reciprocate others' hospitality, Entertaining For Dummies is one book no host should be without. Authors Suzanne Williamson and Linda Smith invite you to enjoy throwing parties, hosting dinners, and orchestrating other events.

A thoughtfully organized reference you can dip into for just the information you need, Entertaining For Dummies doesn't lay down a lot of rules about which fork to use or send you out on an expedition in search of exotic ingredients for dishes that only a culinary academy graduate could prepare. Rather, Entertaining For Dummies offers all kinds of ways to entertain, whatever your forte.

In Entertaining For Dummies, Williamson and Smith show you all the essentials, including how to

1 out of 5 stars 1t's 10 years old, and needs to be updated!.......2006-12-09

This was ok 10 years ago, now in desperate need of updating.

One could cut out over half the chatty words, and make a better written 2nd edition. Pictures of settings, garnishing, updated information and recipes, etc would bring it up to snuff with the many other, newer books on entertaining, that you'd be much, much happier with.

Mrs. Williamson knew her stuff back then in the 90's when this was written; why embarass yourself entertaining today from this now out of date book, with the style of the 80's and 90's?

Better yet, try one of a dozen or so Entertaining books out on the shelves. This is on sale for less than fifty cents for a reason. I would wait for a 2nd edition, rather than settle for this first edition.

5 out of 5 stars A fun and useful book!.......2002-02-25

Suzanne Williamson and Linda Smith have outdone themselves by writing a wonderful book that everyone will love to read. This is the most practical guide to entertaining that you can get, and is a must have for anyone who is planning on throwing or attending a party any time in the future. Buy one for yourself, buy a few for your friends too. You will be glad that you did.

5 out of 5 stars Great for instilling courage.......2002-01-08

I've always been a party-goer, not a party-thrower. Why? Throwing a party scared the heck out of me. Far, far too much could go wrong, and I felt that nothing could be more devastating for a relatively shy person than a disasterous party. Yet as I've moved around a number of times, I've realized that there's no better way to meet people than at a party, and that it's silly to wait for the parties to come to me.

There's no doubt that this book is basic, but it was just what I needed. It demystified the entertaining process, showing me that even I could throw a memorable bash. Sure, the authors say, things will go wrong, but there are ways to handle them.

This book includes sample menus, suggestions on how to have fun at your party by planning and cooking (or buying) ahead, and a step-by-step guide through a variety of parties. At the last page, I felt inspired and excited about throwing a party--entirely a new feeling for me!

5 out of 5 stars This is the Best-Party book out in the stories.......1998-06-27

I give Suzanne Willamson and Linda Smith a pat on the back with a great job in writing the all-purpose entertaining guide. They covered everything very well and the forward by the renowed author, Pat Conroy, was superb. If you are looking for a book for enertaining, no matter the occasion ,Enertaining for Dummies is the book to get.

3 out of 5 stars Long on etiquette, short on rules.......2003-11-14

I was looking for a book to explain the rules better, and this wasn't it. It went into lots of details about etiquette, tipping, how to play with your boss, etc.. The author expresses lots of personal philosophy about why you should walk, why you should use a caddy, and all about betting. The rules section was a short discussion that didn't elaborate on the USGA handbook much.

The stories are enjoyable, especially the one about the Chairman at Augusta National offering to cut a deck a cards for a loudmouth gambler's entire 40 million net worth.

This is one to borrow, not to buy.

It's hard to imagine any wedding detail that could have escaped inclusion in the pages of Weddings for Dummies. How to build a chuppah, how to anchor a comb in the bride's hair, who dances with whom and when--everything you ever wanted to know about getting hitched is right here. Fortunately, Marcy Blum and Laura Fisher Kaiser aren't afraid to give an opinion or two (there's a list of "Ten Tacky Temptations We Beg You to Resist"), but most of the information is entirely nonjudgmental. It's best to have a much-married older sister plan your wedding, but if you have to do it yourself, this is the perfect book to tell you how.

Book Description

A wedding, whether it's a quiet civil ceremony in a judge's chamber or a pull-out-the-stops spectacle, requires equal parts planning, diplomacy, and nerve. After all, of the three most profound rites of passage – being born, getting married, and dying – getting married is the only one a person might have any say in or be able to remember once it's over. The whole thing can seem overwhelming at times, but do not freak out.

This is not another book filled with strict rules of "weddiquette" or ways of having the perfect wedding. Its mission is to demystify the scary stuff and provide an antidote for befuddled brides, anxious grooms, and frenzied parents and family. Weddings For Dummies is also for those who are planning:

This book can be picked up at any stage of your wedding plans. Rather than laying out a strict chronology, the authors have organized this book according to what makes sense. A wedding can be two years or two months in the making. Either way, success depends on thinking through every detail before slapping down one red penny. This easy-to-understand guide covers the following topics and more:

There is, generally speaking, no single right way to plan a wedding. What makes you and your intended happy is the right way for you, and this book is designed to help you create your dream wedding to fit your budget and timeframe. Congratulations!

5 out of 5 stars What a Great Wedding Planning Book.......2007-08-06

This book was a life saver to me as I planned my wedding . It covers everything that you can think of from invitation etiquette, to wedding ceremony set up, to how plan your reception. I found this guide to be indispensable! It offers loads of sound advice, direction, and suggestions--it gets down to the specifics like what the difference is between a Pomander bouquet versus a Nosegay bouquet, or how to set up a Chuppah etc..

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Tool.......2007-03-20

I love this book! I purchased this book back when I first got engaged because I have never even participated in a wedding before and had no idea where to begin. Every time I go somewhere that we'll be talking about wedding stuff (which tends to be everywhere even though I don't always feel like talking about the wedding), I take it with me. Someone will ask me a question, and I'll just look it up. This book is wonderful if you need a place to begin or if you just need a reference book for all the crazy etiquette that weddings entail.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent wedding source.......2006-09-04

This book was the number one resource for us while we were planning our wedding. We had many wedding magazines and books, but this was the by far the best. Eventually the others were pushed aside and we relied on this as our only source. There are many great tips for weddings of all types and sizes. The authors gave great advice and tips while offering humor (which is well-needed during the stressful times such as narrowing down the guest list). I highly recommend this book to couples looking to purchase one source to cover it all! Thanks Laura!

5 out of 5 stars words to the wise .......2006-03-17

It certainly covers a lot of ground, evenly and fairly concisely.I am an older male and I read a lot, but knew absolutely nothing about weddings.My partner suggested I buy the book,wise woman .If you are a man and feel trepidation around this largely female undertaking, read this book, and read it well.It is up to date and as a core virtue is not attached to selling you something you do not want or cannot afford.It only asks that you be satisfied and happy with your informed choice.Besides covering the rather effete items such as dress,and who goes where when, the nitty gritty on prenups, how to handle the caterers and who gets paid when, are also included. Read it again as the wedding details and decisions start to fall into place and you will be of some help to yourself as well as her.Occasionally you will be asked what you think.Occasionally you will have to weigh in to save your sanity.These things do need planning input by guys,and its a life learning experience -for most of us pleasantly, I hope!If you put yourself out of the loop, you really are a dummy. Together you actually can do it, and this is a good exercise.

2 out of 5 stars Mostly focuses on geneology research.......2006-09-01

This book is very thick and would seem to be helpful in planning a family reunion, however, it seemed to focus more on geneology research and finding lost family members. It came with a CD-Rom, so I guess that was a perk.
