Announcing the wedding bible: the most complete, lively, handholding, step-by-step guide to help every couple have a perfect wedding--no matter their budget, taste, or personalities. More than 2.2 million North American couples tie the knot each year; until now, only a mere fraction could work with celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss. But the significant fact is not Ms. Weiss's clientele, but the reason for it: She's so very good at what she does. And now she shares all of her hard-won experience, wisdom, inspiration, and style tips. The Wedding Book covers everything, in a voice filled with understanding: announcing the engagement, and what to do when someone isn't happy about the news; creating a budget; the pros and cons of destination weddings. Drawing up the guest list; planning the ceremony (and how to personalize your vows); menus to inspire; contracts and wedding insurance. Shopping for the dress, six great hairstyles, tuxedo vs. dinner jacket, the etiquette of invitations. Style tips for flowers, the tabletop, linens; a cake that says "you"; the crucial "Sixty Days Until I Do"; rehearsal dinner strategies; plus freezing the cake and preserving the bouquet. Today the average cost of a wedding is $25,000--at $19.95, The Wedding Book is the smartest investment a bride-to-be could make.

Terrible service and seller:
I would give this seller negative reviews if I could. It took ten days before my item even shipped. My compliant went no where: I was told no cancellations and that I would have to pay for return if refunded. Thanks for nothing. Buyer beware.
The every-bride's guide:
I bought this on a whim, but it quickly became my wedding "bible." Just wish I had bought it when we first got engaged. It was as if Mindy was right there walking me through each step along the way. So helpful and fun. I loved the bits of wedding lore and trivia.
Bride's Bible:
This book was given to me from my then future sister in law. It was the most Helpful gift I have ever received. I had only been to maybe 3 weddings before mine and had no idea what to do or where to start. This book has an answer to every question that came up.
We had 60 guests at our wedding (including the bridal party). It's true that the book is aimed for larger weddings but it's not that difficult to just take the information you need and pair it down for a smaller wedding.

Everything You Could Ever Need:
When I got engaged, I almost had a panic attack about having to plan a wedding. I have done event planning before at work but had no idea what all needed to be done for a wedding... until I found this book. It is a great reference book for all things related to a wedding. From what questions to ask vendors, what the various types of veils are (birdcage? cathedral?), to how to write a thank you note. It also has instructions for things like how to preserve your gown, save the top layer of your cake, etc.more info
