I highly recommend this book to any hostess or mother of the bride. I am going up to West Point Military Academy this weekend to finalize preparations for my daughter's party. Details I never would have thought to ask, but certainly appear to be most important, were brought to my attention. There are also areas to document deposits and conversations with various vendors who will be hired for the party. I suggest that you write in pencil, because changes can always be erased. This is a remarkable guide to effectly carry out plans in a timely, correct fashion. I have browsed through books over the last few months. This has given me everything I need.

Great job, Sharon Naylor.

As the mother of the bride, I really enjoyed the details in this book, especially the warnings about some common mistakes made by mothers of the bride. It also gave me great planning details for the things I'll be helping with (since I don't have time to look at 10,000 bridal websites to get info, this book saved me time!), like the cake, the invitations, the flowers. Using this book makes the process fun, which my daughter loves, and it keeps me organized. I absolutely love it, and I love that Sharon Naylor focuses on the fact that this planning time is not just about the wedding, but about the relationships between mother and daughter (and son-in-law) in the future. That really gave me a lot to think about, and it helped me come up with great ways to welcome my son-in-law into the family. Another great book by Ms. Naylor!

This book had been helpful to me as a "mother of the bride" to be in January, 2009. Even though my daughter is doing a very small, simple wedding, this book had answered some of my questions and I've passed the info on to her. Since I have 2 more daughters, I'll hold on to this one for quite awhile.

This book is fantastic! All of the articles on the bridal websites, saying what the mother of the bride should or shouldn't do were so basic as to be almost insulting. But Sharon's book outlines all of the Do's and Don'ts, as well as the best guidance I've seen on how to *customize your role in the wedding planning, together with your daughter the brides.* Add in all the information on etiquette, choosing what to wear, and -- this part was wonderful! -- working with the groom's parents on the wedding plans, and this book is definitely a Must Have! Don't try to help plan a wedding without this book!! Highly, highly recommended.

This book is wonderful! I don't think you could make a mistake after reading it. Sharon gives you information, schedules, vendors and everything else you may or may not think of. I am buying it for my friends whose daughters are getting married I liked it so much.

the book served as a good reference for my mom. the first order from amazon had pages missing and we did not realize it until about a month before the wedding. amazon was very professional and responsive to get us another book asap without a charge. thanks!

This book has been very helpful to a new mother of the bride! I'd suggest it to any other future mother of the brides

I would recommend this book to anyone who is planning a wedding. Lots of valuable information and easy to read.

I bought this book for my mom as a gift. She absolutely loves it. I really like that a section was included for the bride to write an inscription the MOB. This publication has many great ideas and is very helpful. My future SIL bought this for her mom, too, and all of us girls skimmed though it and chatted about the bolded topics at Thanksgiving. It was so much fun!

My daughter was married in June, 2008 and I found this book to be a great reference! There are so many details that you need to keep track of, especially when you want the day to be perfect for your daughter! I kept track of everything in this little book, and had all of the phone numbers and information I needed at my fingertips. My daugther had a pretty large outdoor wedding at our home (which the author does not recommend), but the tips really helped make sure all details were attended to including the valet parking!

Great book if you want to make the day a memorable day for you and your daugther.....for all of the right reasons!
