This little paperback book provides all the information you need for planning your wedding, and it easily fits in your purse.

I've been giving this book to brides-to-be for years, and every one of them has told me that it was very helpful to them. It contains great checklists of what to do when, and will help any bride to remember all the details.

this is the book for you. Basically, this book is written for the young bride who is leaving her parents' home for the first time. After a ceremony at their place of worship, her parents host a reception at their home. Nothing wrong with that kind of wedding, but if you intend any deviation from this plan, you'll get lots more information from a more up-to-date book. The original of this book was written in 1961, and it doesn't seem to have changed significantly since then.

I received this book as a gift for planning my wedding and used it religiously to make sure I did not forget any details. "Checklist" takes you through all the basics...etiquette, timeline, suggestions etc. The premise is, if you use the list and check off all you've finished and all that doesn't apply to you, you will have considered all the elements of a wedding. In the end, your careful planning and use of the checklist will reward you with a beautiful day that you will remember forever, and guests who are pleased that you anticipated their every need. (The book doesn't include decorating ideas, etc., so I purchased Martha Stewart Weddings MAGAZINE and used online resources.)

This is just what you need to organize your thoughts, work out the details, and prepare for an absolely elegant wedding. I had very little time to spare, and this helped me figure out what I needed to do, by when, and for what. I can't wait to read the REVISED Version! It will be even better.

When Amazon teamed this book with "With These Words...I Thee Wed: Contemporary Wedding Vows for Today's Couples" for their "Best Value" sale, a dear friend was kind enough to buy both for my upcoming wedding. And without a doubt, this duel gift has served as the most useful in making my wedding the ultimate event I desired. A bit of a perfectionist, I wanted to express vows above the norm--romantic, yet realistic. Superior, progressive and unusual, yet from the heart. No small order. But "With These Words" exceeded my expectations and I created a vow that Ron and my guests will never forget! The only thing left was to make certain every wedding detail was attended to and that's where this checklist book saved the day! Yikes, perfectionist-me had actually overlooked some vital details. So if you want your wedding to become your greatest memory, get "With These Words...I Thee Wed" and "Checklist For a Perfect Wedding" and relax...your dreams will come true.

I was so excited to see the book I ordered to arrive is absolutely "perfect" condition. I don't think a page was ever turned. Great representation of the condition being "great"!

This book focuses too much on the older tradional weddings. I don't feel that couples today can really benefit from this book. It's a good starter if you can't find anything else. I highly recommend Pamela Thomas's Bridal Guide.
