Product Description

In weddings as in war, it always helps to be well prepared. With "biting good humor" (Indianapolis Star), The Bridesmaid's Guerrilla Handbook leads the bridesmaid through her tour of duty. Armed with this guide full of smart strategies and useful maneuvers, the bridesmaid will feel a little less frantic...and have a lot more fun.

Answers the questions:

€ Who should give the shower?
€ What's expected of me during pre-wedding preparations?
€ Am I allowed to object to that hideous dress?
€ How much is this going to set me back?
€ Can I just say no?

Now, the armed bridesmaid can make the most of a harrowing ordeal-from dress fittings, to pink organza, and back to civvies.

€ Includes innovative ideas, such as preparing a bridal emergency kit
€ Plus worksheets to help limited budgets

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY IT! THIS IS THE BRIDESMAID BIBLE!!!, May 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bridesmaid's Guerrilla Handbook (Paperback)
Know anyone that's getting married? Know anyone who will be a bridesmaid? Then this is the book to buy. Its witty, incisive, but, most importantly, its informative. Weddings are stressful, this book relaxes the entire wedding party. It answers the important questions while also being very entertaining. My cousin just got married and bought copies for all 10 of her bridesmaids before the wedding. They all said they were going to buy copies for their bridesmaids when they got married. I loved this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars God Send, November 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bridesmaid's Guerrilla Handbook (Paperback)
This book is awesome! A must read for anyone who has been asked to be a bridesmaid. I have recently been asked to be the Maid of Honor in a friends wedding and really had no idea where to start. I got the book on Friday and by Monday I had already called the Bride and Bridesmaids to discuss everything from the shoes to the bachelorette party...I was so lost without it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Funny !!!, August 27, 2001
By N. M. Nascenzi (Tulsa, OK USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Bridesmaid's Guerrilla Handbook (Paperback)
This is a must have for any bridesmaid with a sense of humor. The book goes through many issues from how to throw a shower to how to wear an awful dress and everything in between. It is both a quick read and a great laugh.
