Planning a Wedding to Remember: Special Touches and Unique Ideas Rev and Updated for the 90's

I really like this book. I was able to stay organized during my whole wedding ceremony because of it. I still use it sometimes to see who got us the Whirly Popcorn popper, or the set of beer mugs. Also for addresses for Christmas cards--I want to keep in touch with all the people who went to our wedding! Chapter One: Your Engagement (Engagement Announcement Example, Engagement Ring Worksheet, Jewelry Shopping Worksheet) Chapter Two: The Date and Planning Calendar (has both bride's and groom's checklists) Chapter Three: Your Wedding Style Chapter Four: Your Wedding Ceremony Chapter Five: The Wedding Budget Chapter Six: Contracts and Consumer Fraud Chapter Seven: Invitations and Stationery Chapter Eight: The Wedding Party Chapter Nine: Bridal Gown and Accessories Chapter Ten: The Wedding Party Attire Chapter Eleven: Planning The Reception (Questions to ask the coordinator, reception site worksheet, questions to ask your caterer, reception seating chart, etc.) Chapter Twelve: Wedding Flowers Chapter Thirteen: Wedding Music Chapter Fourteen: Photography and Videography Chapter Fifteen: Wedding Transportation Chapter Sixteen: Pre-Wedding Parties Chapter Seventeen: Wedding Gifts (one of the things here is a Gift List with name, gift, store, and box for if the thank you was sent) Chapter Eighteen: Business and Legal Affairs Chapter Nineteen: Second Marriages and Reaffirmations Chapter Twenty: The Rehearsal Chapter Twenty-One: Your Wedding Day Chapter Twenty-Two: Your Honeymoon Chapter Twenty-Three: Important Information at a Glance I wasn't going to review this book until I saw that others had said this wasn't a good book. I have no idea why!!

As a professional in the catering business I have many books that I use for references. I always find myself turning to this book for etiquette, processional/recessional information, etc. This book has all the answers to your questions. If I want to answer someone's question quick, I look to this book. I highly recommend it. Even if you are not a bride, this book will be very useful!

I have bought about 5 different wedding planning books and countless wedding magazines, and none of them had EVERYTHING in them like this one. This planner has wedding music suggestions (actual songs) for the first dance, bouquet toss and garter throw. It also includes a list of not to miss photos for your photographer. It gives information aboout formations of the bridal party in the procession and recession. Also it has a list of attendants responsibilities. There are worksheets for vendors and questions to ask each vendor. If I could give this book 6 stars I would, I definately recommend it to all brides-to-be. I gave it as a gift to my newly engaged friend and she adores it also. Good luck!

We are 4 months away from our wedding and the book looks like it has been through 4 years of college. It is an excellent tool for keeping track of a variety of items, from ideas and conversations to storing contracts. We both use the book and it was given to me along with my engagement ring. It is as valuable to me as the ring itself.
