I purchased this directly from their website at bridekit.com. This is an absolutely wonderful kit and resource that I highly recommend to all brides. I don't know if I could have done it without it. It turned my name change experience into an orderly and even enjoyable process. The instructions are easy to follow and well organized. It also helped me to update several other very important details besides my new name.

I am so glad I took the initiative to order this book during my engagement. This guide is so easy to follow and practical. It includes checklists of agencies and businesses to contact about changing your name, schedules, pull-out forms to send out, postcards, etc. Everything is explained step-by-step to make this arduous process less painful. There are a lot of great tips in the book including how to avoid lines, how to shorten turn-around time for needed documents, etc. I recommend it highly. This would be a great wedding shower gift for the bride-to-be and is a must-have for a new wife!

The book was very useful although alot of the steps to do were common sense of who to contact. However, it did remind you of other groups to contact to help with your name change. And the extra forms and name/address change tear outs in the back were very good.

This book was not very helpful. The first couple pages give you an idea as to what steps you need to do change your name, but the rest is forms that are outdated or not useful. For example, they say that you can mail your passport in along with your marriage certificate and you'll get issued a new one with your new name free of charge. As of September 2005, they've actually changed it where you still have to send those things in, but they charge you the regular passport fee. As long as you know that the first things you need to do to change your name is to do your Social Security Card and then your Driver's License, you'll be okay.

I received several wedding planners and other books as gifts but htis one turned out to be the most useful of the lot. I even took it with me on my honeymoon. Very informative and practical and saves you alot of time. It makes a very good present for bridal shower or wedding.

Originally I Thought it was going to really tough to switch over my name after the wedding but this book did help a little. The only thing is you can just about find all this information online now too. It does have forms you need in the back but not many of them. I also got a used (like-new) one and when i got it. I was disappointed to see it had been written in and some of the forms torn out. It's good to have but I found it isn't all that complicated once you know what you need to change.
