Customer Reviews

bridesmaid book

I bought this book since I am the maid of honor for my sister's wedding. It has countless ideas for showers and parties. There is even a section on what to do for a crisis on the wedding day. I would recommend this book to any bridesmaid. It will help you know what to do helping the bride

Laugh out loud funny

I gave this to one of my bridesmaids and she said that it was truly funny and she enjoyed reading it. She has gotten a lot of tips from it and all in all I'd have to say she's been a big help in the wedding party. I would recommend this book to others.

Good easy read

If you have an hour or two to kill and you are unsure what being a Bridesmaid entails then this is a very useful book. It is a very easy read. The author keeps everything upbeat and postive and offers advice for crazy situations. I borrowed this book from my sister who was the Maid of Honor at my wedding she found the book a little dull because it says some stuff that is so basic it is almost a given people know it.(ie buy a gift for the Bride and Groom) But I found it helpful to read as a Bride so you have a better understanding of what worries the Bridemaids. All and all a useful book.

Useful on many levels

This is a great book for someone who's never been a bridesmaid before (like me). There were a lot of practical hints about what kinds of events you'll need to set up and attend and how much you may end up spending and so on. I do have the occasional quarrel -- Ms. Rung says being pregnant is not an acceptable excuse for bowing out of a wedding party, which I completely disagree with, and I also thought her estimates on what a bridesmaids' dress and accoutrements might cost were frequently low -- but overall, this book is an easy read and often funny too. There is also a lot of repetition, which is probably geared towards those who are only going to read a few chapters. The nice thing about this book was the reminder that no matter what, you are there to support the bride! I bet this is a point that a lot of people can easily forget in the hoopla surrounding any wedding.
