Review

Reader from Bethesda, MD- This was an excellent find. I am glad I bought it, it saved me a great deal of embarrassment. I guess the more you think you know the less you really do know! I had no idea there was so much involved with being a Matron of Honor - and I'm married!! I think this is a good buy. I like the toasts though I probably will do my own. I think it's a good touch to have in the book. This is really a good resource for any Maid or Matron of Honor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Buy - this was really great, February 23, 2004

Anyone who is asked to be a Maid of Honor (or Matron of Honor if you're lucky enough to be married <smile>) should be REQUIRED to read this guide! It was such a huge help.

This little book realy was a big help to me. I knew some of the basics of what was expected of me but there was so much more. I think my sister (the bride) was really impressed.

I have to confess, I took full credit for the 2 toasts I used from the book (one at the reception and one at the rehearsal dinner). But hey, what they don't know won't hurt them! The toasts in the book were really good and helpful.

This really is a great buy! ...It was the most important thing I bought for the wedding.

This review is from: Ultimate Maid of Honor (Paperback)

I was a little nervous to buy this book because I saw a bad review but the others were all so good. It was out of stock for a while but I bought it and I found it very helpful. The tone seemed really fine to me. I dont know if I would buy it as a bride to give to the maid of honor because I think any book would be presumptous. I think this is a book that a Maid of Honor should buy for herself. It helped me a lot.
