What: a hybrid of party (en francais) + etiquette.  It is our fresh, light-hearted, reinvigorated, 21^st century interpretation of age-old traditions.

Why: As event planners, we advise clients on every aspect of an event, including etiquette, and the relentless effort to navigate their way through this gray area where tradition meets technology and our society’s changing rules and paradigms.  With the advent of email, facebook, twitter etc. we are more ‘connected’ to one another but also more disconnected and casual in our relationships, and everyday manners have gone by the wayside as we tag, tweet, comment and post our way through our virtual lives.  There is a demand for a reinterpretation of ‘the rules’ in this new age.

How: We are not Emily Post, nor are we trying to be.  And we may have a slip-up here and there–we are human after all.  But we certainly have our fair share of stories (delightful and horrific) to share.  So, be on the look out for our fete-i-quette posts, and be sure to submit your questions or experiences to blog@nonpareilevents.com
