5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Read for Bridesmaids-To-Be, June 24, 2003

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Bridesmaid Guide: Etiquette, Parties and Being Fabulous (Paperback)

I am going to be a bridesmaid in a wedding this August and this book was exactly what I needed to help me know what to do and how to "be fabulous" while doing it. This book is very informative, but with a witty edge that makes it very entertaining. I wouldn't want to be in a wedding without having the knowledge this book has given me.

William Shannon (Wayland, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bridesmaid Guide: Etiquette, Parties and Being Fabulous (Paperback)

A friend recently showed me a copy of this book because my daughter is getting married. I found the book to be wonderful and so infomative that I had to buy a copy for all of my daughter's bridesmaids. This book covers all the basic bridesmaids' duties and provides very creative, unique ways to make the whole process fun and successful. I highly recommend this book to everyone who is getting married!

V. M. Delozier (Olympia, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Bridesmaid Guide: Etiquette, Parties and Being Fabulous (Paperback)

I found this book really enjoyable. I don't know much about weddings, the first one I'll be in is my own, so I wanted to get an idea about the bridesmaid thing. I thought that it does a pretty good job of explaining what the modern bridesmaid does. It was very well laid out, and easy to read (takes an hour and a half if you can sit down and go through it at once). I've already given it to one of my bridesmaids, and will be getting a copy for my other one very soon.
