Your Complete Wedding Planner: For the Perfect Bride and Groom-To-Be

Offers advice on announcements, ceremony planning, cost estimates, scheduling, food ideas, family problems, showers, receptions, and honeymoons, and includes a month-by-month checklist

This updated version of Your Complete Wedding Planner (1977) makes its most important contribution in a section dealing with special circumstances, including the intricacies of today's changing family arrangements. The author demonstrates sensitivity and good sense in her advice to the bride and groom. As a guide to organizing weddings of many types and sizes, the book has useful suggestions, and because of its manageable length it is likely to be read rather than merely consulted. There is, however, an unevenness that shows both in the guide's overemphasis on such topics as birthstones by month and how to pack a suitcase, combined with an unrealistic avoidance of how to deal with the last-minute emergencies and unexpected problems.
