5.0 out of 5 stars The best planner I have come across yet!!, September 10, 1998

This review is from: Your Perfect Wedding Planner (Spiral-bound)

I am in the process of planning my own wedding. As part of my planning process, I have reviewed MANY books on the subjects of planning weddings. I first found "Your Perfect Wedding Planner" suggested in an on-line site. I decided that before I would buy it, I would go to my local library, check it out and preview it. Within the first 15 minutes of previewing this book, I knew it was a must-have. "Your Perfect Wedding Planner" is an EXCELLENT choice for all brides! Even if you are uncertain with how or when to do something, this planner covers it all. The worksheets and timelines cover when to send out invitations, when you should hire a photographer and even when to get dressed on your wedding day. This planner completely eliminates the need for a consultant. "Your Perfect Wedding Planner" is a beautifully bound book and the contents are timeless. It will not only be one of my favorite keepsakes, it is a book I will want to pass on to my children when it is their time to get married.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive planner and wedding guide, December 27, 2002

This review is from: Your Perfect Wedding Planner (Spiral-bound)

This book has everything that I could ever think about for wedding planning, and then some. It's easy to follow, and the format is well-designed and fun. There are places to fill in everything from your bridal parties sizes to comparitive prices of caterers, etc. The greatest part about it is that when the wedding is over it serves as the perfect keepsake for the details of your special day.

This wedding planner was terrific. I carried it to all my appointments and during the months that I made purchases for the ceremony and the reception. It is very useful and has many great ideas. It is also a great way to record all the memories that are involved in planning your wedding.
