5.0 out of 5 stars BUY IT! THIS IS THE BRIDESMAID BIBLE!!!, May 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bridesmaid's Guerrilla Handbook (Paperback)

Know anyone that's getting married? Know anyone who will be a bridesmaid? Then this is the book to buy. Its witty, incisive, but, most importantly, its informative. Weddings are stressful, this book relaxes the entire wedding party. It answers the important questions while also being very entertaining. My cousin just got married and bought copies for all 10 of her bridesmaids before the wedding. They all said they were going to buy copies for their bridesmaids when they got married. I loved this book.

This review is from: The Bridesmaid's Guerrilla Handbook (Paperback)

This book is awesome! A must read for anyone who has been asked to be a bridesmaid. I have recently been asked to be the Maid of Honor in a friends wedding and really had no idea where to start. I got the book on Friday and by Monday I had already called the Bride and Bridesmaids to discuss everything from the shoes to the bachelorette party...I was so lost without it!

This is a must have for any bridesmaid with a sense of humor. The book goes through many issues from how to throw a shower to how to wear an awful dress and everything in between. It is both a quick read and a great laugh.
