 Guaranteed to turn you into a bridezilla. October 29, 2008
I have never seen a more offensive wedding planning book, especially one claiming to help save money. This author suggests buying or borrowing a wedding etiquette book, but it appears that she has never read one! She advocates greed, selfishness, and poor form in general. She masks this with statements like this one when discussing honeymoon and mortgage (!) registries: "Warning: it is never appropriate to ask for money as a wedding present, so you're going to have to be subtle about this kind of registry." ARE YOU KIDDING? She's basically saying, it's never acceptable but you can do it anyway as long as you're sneaky.
Gross.
She makes certain aspects of weddings sound essential and then talks about how to save money on them. Engagement parties, engagement announcements, videographers, favors... These are all wonderful things to have if you can afford it, but she makes it sound like you'll be so sorry if you don't.
Don't waste your time on this book, and for the love of all that is good, don't follow its recommendations, unless you want your wedding and you as a bride to be remembered for all the WRONG reasons. Go for "Bridal Bargains" instead. It is honest, frank and doesn't read like it's been written by the money-sucking bridal industry as a whole.
 Take it or Leave it... September 19, 2008
In my opinion, it isn't worth paying for this book--all the same information is available, for free, at wedding websites. I bought a ton of wedding books--and never used them becaue I had all I needed online for free. If you aren't a computer-y person, then go for it...but if you know how to browse websites, save your money for the centerpieces, photography, or other wedding detail.
 Helpful September 3, 2008
This book has some creative ideas on how to save money and is worth looking at if you have a wedding coming up. I read it before my wedding, and I don't know that it saved me A LOT of money, but it did help me think of some creative personalized things to do.
 Full Of Wonderful Cost Cutting Ideas..... February 15, 2008
As a bride2be I am very glad books like this exsist, because like many of you my soon to be groom and I dont have a large budget to throw this wonderful fantastic never to be forgotten wedding and reception, were both two hard working people with bills to pay. We want a wonderful wedding but within cost reason no sense in going overboard, were practical the $$ could be used best elsewhere, yet it is "my" day and I want it to be special, I want to be the princess I've always dreamed of being, and thanks to budget minded books like this one I can have my cake and eat it too with a lil $$ to spare.....!
Good for those that don't know much about weddings December 18, 2007
This book is good for those that have never planned a wedding or have never watched all of the wedding shows.
