At $17 (new) it will probably be the most inexpensive purchase you will make for your wedding, but probably the most useful. "Brides Wedding Planner- The Perfect Guide To The Perfect Wedding" by the editors of Bride's magazine is just that, perfect. It's a must have for any bride-to-be. Being the first of my friends to get married, I had no idea where to start. When I discovered this book, it was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. This book starts at the very beginning, your engagement, and guides you all the way through the wedding planning process. This book doesn't leave you stranded after the wedding either. "Brides Wedding Planner" even helps you write thank-you notes and furnish your new home. This book helps to answer any questions you may have and any questions you hadn't thought of yet. This planner tells you how to choose your church, photographer, DJ or Band, reception hall and when to book each of them. This book even includes sample contracts to help you know what your getting yourself into. "Bride's Wedding Planner" even has worksheets to help you make sure you are planning the perfect wedding for you. Are you having an interfaith wedding? There's a guide on that. Want to write your own vows? There's a guide to that too. If you have any questions this book will answer them. It's the perfect accessory for any bride-to-be.

...and plan your own wedding. It took me ages and ages to find a book which catered to my needs. Basically, I wanted a wedding which was not too formal, and not too expensive. I have found the Bride's Wedding Planner to be just so useful in the planning of my wedding! It has given me loads of hints on how to do things cheaply - it's full of great ideas to ensure that your day runs smoothly. My fiance and I made good use of the section on writing our vows to each other - this planner has been a godsend for us! We refer to it for everything. It is not something I would want to carry around with me to use, but as a guide - for reference purposes only, it is perfect. In the back of the folder, there is a pocket that would fit about A5 size paper inside - but only about 10 sheets, it's not that big. Within the planner there are loads of forms and checklists which make it so much easier to remember everything that is involved.

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.
