This book is not very good. It doesn't have any particularly exciting or new ideas. It is very small and, though I did not expect a thorough wedding planning bible (for that, consult Mindy Weiss' The Wedding Book), I did expect unique, clever ideas. It really did not deliver even that. It was trying to be a lot of things at once. I bought it expecting it to be a specialized book on wedding party ideas but instead found the same old ideas you can pick up in a larger wedding planning book or even in a magazine. It's not horrible, it's just not particularly helpful.

If you're thinking, "This has got to be great - it's written by a member of the Emily Post family". Well, maybe think again. I agree with the other commenter... completely. It's not what you'd probably expect. Because it sure wasn't what I'd expected. No offense, but I think I'll give this book to one of my friends who likes books AND parties, but doesn't need a lot of help planning parties. It's a book that will look good on display somewhere in their house. I'd keep it, but I didn't find it to be particularly helpful. I cater and plan parties for a living. So, for someone like me (who practically lives, sleeps, eats, and drinks parties) this book just didn't have enough "juice".
