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 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.

I thought this book would be a fun gift for my bridesmaids. I bought one copy and realized that it was more of an instructional manual with tips on where bridesmaid's stand in the processional etc. (information we will cover at the wedding rehersal).

Other tips include a shower game called "The Clothespin Game," which is so outdated my grandmother must've played it at showers when she was young. Mrs. Cleaver or Aunt Bee would be perfect hostesses for this type of game. I can't see anyone born post 1940 being entertained.

Overall this book reads like an outdated Emily Post primer filled with information which is obvious. The title is cute, and had me expecting the book to be cute. The attempt at engaging the reader consists of a series of "war" metaphors. I thought this book would bore my bridesmaids, so I chose not to give it.

I loved this book! I bought it for myself and my fellow bridesmaids and we all read it quickly and had a better understanding of what our responsibilities are as bridesmaids! Our friend who is getting married must be thrilled that we got this book--it saved her the trouble of telling us what was expected of us--which could have been quite uncomfortable and may have led to some misunderstandings! People never think that there is more involved than just showing up in your bridesmaid dress the day of the wedding. IT truly is an honor to be asked to be a bridesmaid--but there are certain duties you are expected to perform. This book is great at explaining them all! P.S. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new cover! Glad the inside remained the same!

I have never been a bridesmaid before so this book was perfect for me! It was very helpful with timelines, budgetting, and what to expect. Not to mention, it was a great easy read. I sat down and read it all in one go. It gave me more confidence in what I am supposed to do to get ready for my best friends wedding. It was definitely worth it.

My future bride and her maids of honor were catatonic, I happened to see this book and on a whim purchased 6 copies for the wedding party. They all couldn't put it down. And have since passed it on to all of there friends. Thanks Sarah and Lucy for helping our wedding be less traumatic,we recomend this to everyone for a most pleasurable read, buy it.

I found this book extremely helpful. When my best friend asked me to be her maid of honor, I hadn't a clue as what I was suppposed to do! Luckily, the wealth of info, tips, and humor has been quite comforting. :) In addition, this book also gives you budgeting worksheets, a brief rundown on etiquette, and bridal shower ideas. (The toilet paper bridal dress game was a hit at my friend's shower.) Buy this book - it's a life saver for any bridesmaid!

As cute as this guide may apprear, don't judge a book by its cover. It is extremely outdated and frankly, sexist. Worse yet, it makes being a bridesmaid out to be a boring chore, instead of the privilege and fun experience that it should be.

For women only!!! Had all the info I needed because I didn't know what I was supposed to do as a bridesmaid. I didn't find it outdated as a couple of reviews said. The humor ranged from very wry to kind of corny.
