 If you're planning the wedding for the bride - then buy this. May 12, 2008
I've been to plenty of weddings, I've just never been a maid of honor and just wanted to make sure I knew what I was in for. This book goes on to tell you that you will be contacting the guests, making sure the flowers arrive on time and basically being a wedding planner. I could tell it was written by someone WAY older than me with a lot of old-school ideas. Most of the things she says are your "obligation" and most of them sounded like things the bride would want to do herself anyway. Waste of money - but kind of funny to read it and think someone actually got a publisher to print this thing.
 All Right, Not Great April 20, 2008
This book is all right, but not great. A little too expensive for its quality. It's not very updated it doesn't feel like. It is not with the times of this day and age. Unfortunately, it's one of the few Maid of Honor books out there and I was trying to ask my sister to be my maid of honor. I wanted to do so by giving her a book on how to be a maid of honor, and this was the one of two out there.
Very basic May 15, 2007
This book was ok. I was hoping for a little more detail or delving into the maid of honor duties as opposed to bridesmaid duties and this book failed to deliver. It is very simple, perhaps good for a junior bridesmaid?
Too much responsibility! November 10, 2006
This book gives the maid of honor WAY too much responsibility. From contacting and dealing with all the other bridesmaids so the bride can worry about others things to contacting everyone on the guest list to introduce yourself and let them know where the couple is registered. Ha! This book does contain the basics, but it pushes things a bit too far I think.
Probably not the worst bridesmaid book out there... November 6, 2006
My husband was obsessing over his duties for a wedding that he and I were asked to stand up in. As long as I was buying him a book about being a Best Man, I decided to read up on being a Maid/Matron of honor.
Now I've only been a part of weddings in the Midwest, so I don't know how it is done elsewhere in the country, but many of the duties this book outlined seem out of date. For example, calling all of the guests and introducing myself? No honor attendent has ever called me when I was a guest! I also was not aware that the maid of honor was supposed to organize absolutely everything with wedding day hair appointments, guest accomodations, dress fittings, etc. As I bride I did all of that as part and parcel of being the bride and the brides I've stood up for have all been the same. Perhaps we are all just control freaks.
I mostly wanted information on the bridal shower and bachelorette party and I did get some ideas. And it did remind me that I needed to check in with the bride frequently to offer my services, even if she had everything under control.
The last section of the book covers toasts. Please, do not use the sample toasts. I'm not sure what the author was drinking when she wrote the section on toasts, but whatever it was, it was in large quantities. I know that not everyone is a natural public speaker, but a few heartfelt works about your relationship to the bride and well wishes would be much prefered to the toasts written in the final chapter.
