This book was so much fun. Inside the hard-bound package there are two soft cover books. One for you and one for your partner. Inside these books are lists of questions about what you envision your lives together to be like in the future. The questionnaire asks about everthing from kids to old age. Also included in the package are mini-surveys for you to give to the people in your lives that know and love you. The idea is that in 10, 20 and/or 30 years you both look at your own predictions and share your thoughts. Very well put together package and well worth the money.

I am a recently married 28 year-old woman. For my bridal shower, my matron of honor, gave me a "Predictionary" as her shower gift. I must admit, at first, I thought it was strange - why didn't I get a vase or towels or something off my bridal registry? However, this book turned out to be one of our best shower and wedding presents altogether! When we returned from our honeymoon in Europe we sat down one night and filled it. What a fun, innovative and creative book!! It was so thorugh and detailed asking personal questions to your expectations of your spouse, marriage and life/future together. I thought my husband would be put off by all the detail and questions asked. However, we both enjoyed the soul-searching, candor and honesty that this book required in order to answer questions. While you aren't suppose to discuss your answers, this book/exercise did encourage deep and meaningful conversation about the adventure of marraige that we were now encountering as newlyweds. It was nice to see that we had similar expectations and views of our life ahead. I reccommend this book to any newlywed. It is a fun exercise to do with your spouse and a good way to write down your goals and expectations of marriage. I am looking forward to opening our "Predictionary" on our 10 year anniversary and seeing how similar or differnt our married lives have turned out. I highly recommend this as a shower gift. It is unique, innovative and very memorable.

My husband and I recieved the Predictionary 6 years ago and loved it. Now my sister is getting married and we had everyone at her shower fill out the questionnaires. It was a great
alternative to the usual corny shower games. Everyone loved it and my sister had a unique gift to take home with her!

Not really knowing what this was, I bought it off the shelf at a bookstore just before my wedding, almost four years ago. We had a great time filling out the booklets, and our friends and family had fun completing their questionairres. The book is sealed and put away for now... however, one questionaire did not make it in time... and on our third anniversary we caved... and opened it. We had a great time reading what my Mother-In-Law thought of us then, and how well she predicted where we might be headed (all good of course). We've since given both this and the graduate's predictionary for gifts on a few occassions. A great buy!

I received this as an engagement gift and found it to be my
favorite. I plan for me & my soon-to-be husband to fill this
out on our honeymoon. This is also a great way for friends and
family to join in on the fun.

I bought this because I wanted to do my own set of predictions cards as a game at my reception (there was no dancing at my reception), and I wanted to use their ideas. These were absolutely invaluable to greating a good set of predictions cards for my guests. I'm saving the set I bought to give as a gift to another engaged couple, and it's permanently on my list as a good engagement or bridal shower gift. These time capsules things are totally fun to open on an anniversary, and it is much more personal than the signatures in a guest book you might get from each guest. It was fun to harass my guests about their outlandish predictions.

Buy this for anyone who is getting married as a fun trinket. It will definitely be appreciated for years to come.

This is NOT a book. It's a flimsy cardboard box and your relatives are supposed to fill out things for you to read at a later date. I should have returned it, I tried selling it for .25 at a garage sale, but ended up dumping it at Goodwill. I'm not saying this is bad for what it is, but read the directions carefully and decide if it's something you want to spend time on.

Words fail me... I laughed, I cried... It was a real page-turner. Two thumbs up !!
