Millennial Manners, by Adrianne Blue Wakefield-St. George, provides traditional rules of etiquette (with some insights into their origins), followed by suggestions of tasteful alternatives that are more in keeping with the world in which we live.

But Millennial Manners isn't simply a book on etiquette. Beyond the standard information covering subjects from how to issue a wedding invitation if both parents are divorced to how to eat an artichoke, Millennial Manners is also a manual for beautiful living, offering philosophic treasures, delicious recipes, and plans for gracious entertaining. The unique perspective of Mrs. St. George, a well-known hostess and raconteur who has given more parties than most people have attended, is particularly enriched by the fact that she has moved in circles populated by senators and socialites as well as farmers and secretaries. She describes the uses of a sterling asparagus tong as easily as dispensing hints on buying a wedding dress for under $400.

Originally presented as a PDF document, Millennial Manners is now available in an elegantly bound print version, and will be a prized addition to your library.
