Wedding Kit for Dummies (Soft Cover with CDR) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I never can keep a copy of Weddings for Dummies; I no sooner buy one and I give it as a gift. I bought my first copy because someone told me that the information on flower arrangements would be helpful, even though the event in question was not a wedding. My last copy of Weddings for Dummies is on a shelf in Maine where it did duty in the planning of my son's wedding (a wedding of which Marcy Blum should be proud). When I ordered the Wedding Kit for Dummies, I thought I was replacing my Weddings for Dummies; what I got was a fantastic supplement to Weddings for Dummies, an entirely new book replete with software to make even the most disorganized person an organized party planner. The original book enables the bride-to-be to plan the wedding of her dreams, down to the smallest detail. The new book allows those dreams to take wing; it is a comprehensive "how to do it" book. The CD has forms, contracts and even spread sheets to keep track of expenses. There are checklists for things that most people might not even think of on their own, but which make a special event even more special...like how to evaluate a potential reception site. There are website addresses and sensible advice on how to use the Internet to obtain information and goods. I found the chapter entitled Ten Amazing Places for Destination weddings and Honeymoons especially interesting (I always wondered what it cost to get married at Disneyworld!) In short, if you cannot have Marcy Blum plan your wedding, this is the next best thing. If you are planning on giving this book as an engagement gift, pair it with the first book; the two together are indispensable references for planning the perfect wedding. Marcy Blum and Laura Fisher Kaiser have given us a glimpse of why books will not go the way of dinosaurs, a book that can actually help us interact better with the Internet rather than being replaced by it.

Bride's Wedding Planner: The Perfect Guide to the Perfect Wedding Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't believe how informative this book is. It tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about planning your wedding. It has forms for you to fill out everything pertaining to the big day...jot down who is going to be in the bridal party, what food do you want to serve, etc. It tells you how to get a caterer, florist, photographer, etc, and tells you all the questions you need to ask them beforehand to make sure you're getting the best value for your money. It also explains how everything is done in Christian and Jewish ceremonies. There are so many things in here you would never even think of...how to set a budget once you are married, what forms of birth control to use, it explains all the different styles of gowns and veils, tells you what the mother of the groom and bride are supposed to do, who pays for what, and there is a calender for you and him for each month to tell you what needs to get done. If you thought of it, it's in here. They even give you suggestions of what song you could dance the first dance to, how to preserve your dress, and more. This is a REALLY great deal on a wedding planner.

Wilton Silver Beaded Cake Knife and Server Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I ordered this cake serving set with the hope of using it for my wedding, I loved it! When it arrived, though, I was disappointed to see that the handles are plastic, not metal like they appear in the photo. I don't know how durable they would be, and was worried that the metal blade would end up breaking apart from the plastic eventually. I also felt like the plastic handles made them feel cheap. If you're looking for cute, functional, and a good deal, it's perfect, but it's not a good option for a keepsake set, in my opinion.
The seller got them to me on time, and it was easy to return.

The "I Have A Life" Bride's Guide: Plan The Wedding You've Always Wanted--without Losing Your Mind Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book after leafing through it at Borders. The price seemed right and I liked the layout of the book. Its a nice basic book for brides and it's set up in a way that is easy to read and follow. You can skip through the chapters and the tips and suggestions are right on track. I like that suggestions are given so you can stay away from 'bridezilla' zone.
My main planner is the 'eveything wedding organizer' but this 'i have a life guide' is a nice complement. I am planning a simple yet elegant wedding and I dont want to many frills, so these two books have given me enough tips and ideas to plan the event that I want.
If you are planning a VERY elaborate wedding, this book can be your basic/checklist book but you might want to look for a more in depth book for your event.

Getting Married When It's Not Your First Time: An Etiquette Guide and Wedding Planner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wedding books say next to NOTHING about stepfamilies and don't offer real-life solutions to the real problems second-time grooms (me) and brides face. This book gives a lot of great (and funny, but helpful) wedding planning advice and etiquette advice, but the most important and unusual thing it does is tell you what you r kids are feeling (age by age, even!) and how you can help them adjust. Because the wedding, though it's fun, is really just the beginning-of a marriage that lasts a lifetime, this time!

Modern Bride Complete Wedding Planner: The #1 Bridal Magazine Helps You Create the Wedding of Your Dreams Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was extremely dissapointed with this book. Modern Bride has a history of keeping brides-to-be in the dark about budgeting ideas and ways to cut corners. They continually insist that everyone NEEDS a bridal consultant and that a wedding gown should only be purchased through an expensive private boutique. I found many other wedding books to be so much more helpful that I suggest looking around some more before buying this book. Denise Fields and Diane Warner are some authors who HAVE created some excellent books.
