Cool because it includes Barbie's 2 sisters so it's an instant celebration for any little girl.

We bought this at Target for $35 and I believe it is exclusive to that store. It was my 5 year old daughter's Christmas gift. She has been drooling over the set ever since she first spotted it a year ago.

Barbie has been a thorn in my side because of the cheaply made clothes that frequently require sewing repairs straight out of the box. This set has been an exception so far. Barbie's dress in particular seems well made. My daughter even spilled hot chocolate on it and the stain came out without a problem. Her dress is every bit as fabulous as a fantasy wedding dress should be.

I believe this is the most handsome Ken doll we own or that I have seen. He is quite handsome, even with his molded plastic hair.

The accessories could be a little better, but the presents are plastic and not cardboard like I originally feared. They open and close so the child can place small pretend gifts inside. Of course the set also comes with a wedding bouquet and a cake.

As usual for Mattel, prepare for the time and effort it will require to extricate the pieces from the box.

I would consider this a perfect gift from a bride-to-be to a young flower girl.

You get a lot for the price in this package of Barbies. I love that it comes with the whole family (Barbie, Ken, Skipper and Kellie) Barbies gown is gorgeous (although the veil is a bit of a pain... it doesn't want to stay down). It is hard to get a Ken doll that isn't wearing swim trunks, LOL. So that is a big plus that he is decked out in a tux! My daughter loved that it came with a wedding cake and gifts.

Got this for my grandaughter for her daddies wedding. It really helped her understand about getting dressed up and what a wedding party was. She "practiced" the wedding with the barbies and did a wonderful job as the flower girl. Got a kid confused about the wedding? This could be a good tool to teach them with.

Is no one else disturbed that these Barbie "I Can Be" dolls are all stereotypical jobs like "cooking teacher", "baby caregiver", and "bride"? In the one where she is a doctor, she has to come along with Ken and only he is wearing scrubs, she is in a mini skirt! Why is there no science teacher Barbie, or engineer Barbie? Mattel, this is awful, teaching young girls that their career options are limited to things dealing with small children and mini skirts.
