Having been recently engaged, my wife-to-be was off purchasing guides and magazine subscriptions and handbooks for her maid of honor and other bridesmaids. This seemed totally appropriate for her, but when she asked me if I would be purchasing anything like that for my groomsmen, I declined. What could I possibly buy my groomsmen that they wouldn't laugh at or just throw to the side until the wedding is over?

This guide proved to be just the thing. At a great price on Amazon.com, and after reviewing some of the pages using their "Inside the Cover" feature, I knew this was a good choice. The handbook is quite funny, but never forgets to offer honest, helpful advice for your best man. My best man really appreciated it, and I would recommend this to anyone looking to help out their best man.

My mom and I found this book in a store and bought it as an xmas gift for my fiance's dad. He mentioned he had NO idea what to do as a best man, so we wanted to give him something to help. I brought the book home and read it and I was astounded. Here I was thinking it was an honest, helpful guide. (It seemed like one when I flipped through the pages in the store) However, I was MOST disappointed to see that it was much more something you might give an 18 year old best man as a joke and hope he gets it. It made a mockery of a very important role in any wedding and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone. Utterly useless.

Taken as a joke, it's passing funny. But if you're looking for something helpful and useful....look elsewhere!

Books are of little value in planning a bachelor party. I read this book and had to laugh. For a suggestion that is a no brainer (if you are in the tri-state area) check out www.billydeans.com. I read someone elses posting took their advice and had my buddy's bachelor party there. Great value, heck of a lot of fun. He partisipated in the oil wrestling and I never laughed so hard in my life. SCRATCH the books when it comes to this subject!

Just use the Amazon search feature to read the best man's top 10 duties near the beginning of this book. When one of them tells you it's your duty to hook up with a bridesmaid, you can get a pretty good seense of the attitude of this book. Look elsewhere if you're in search of an honest guide of what you need to take care of for your best mate on his big day.
