With sales of more than 750,000 copies, the books in the GentleManners series have become the most popular gift etiquette books on the market today. This latest book in the series was written especially for boys ages 8-14, to teach them the basic skills every young man should have and every young man's mother and grandmother want him to have. Among the topics covered in this book are how to shake hands, how to make an introduction, what to do when you sneeze or cough, and how to use a napkin. It is written in a style that will appeal to young men of that age.
This guide transforms even the most bewildered groom into a polished gentleman, covering everything from the engagement party to the reception and all events in between. While he may not have envisioned this day since childhood, his role is just as crucial as the bride's. Authors John Bridges and Bryan Curtis provide essential advice for every male participant in the wedding, including fathers, groomsmen, ring bearers, and guests. Readers will discover vital insights such as how to propose, the realities of bachelor parties, financial responsibilities, tips for delivering a perfect toast, and strategies for managing family dynamics, including dealing with an upset mother-in-law. The guide also highlights phrases to avoid, appropriate attire for various occasions, and the art of writing a thoughtful thank-you note. Amidst the chaos of tux fittings, place settings, and family gatherings, this resource ensures that the groom and his fellow gentlemen understand their significant roles on this momentous day. It clarifies what to do, where to stand, what to wear, and what to say, emphasizing that their contributions are as important as the floral arrangements or the choice of wedding invitation font.
This GentleManners book is divided into sections about specific items of clothing and specific accessories. It also delves into the different types of events to which a gentleman may find himself invited.

This easily accessible book focuses on those moments when knowing exactly what to say is an absolutely necessary challenge. From the light-hearted "how to react when someone turns you down for a date" or "what to say when you notice someone's fly is open" to the more serious "what to say to a co-worker who has had a miscarriage or to a friend who has suffered the sudden death of a parent," As A Gentleman Would Say differs from other etiquette books in that it not only offers suggestions for the correct thing to say in more than 100 social situations-it also gives examples of the wrong thing to say!
