Cannot be outdone

http://veilstovino.blogspot.com/ I'm a planner by nature. I thrive on being organized, anticipating deadlines and knowing what is expected of me and by when - especially when dealing with something as overwhelming as a wedding. Fairly soon after the engagement, I looked for wedding planning resources online and in bookstores. The most comprehensive one I found is this one below. It's "The Brides Essential Wedding Planner" Deluxe Edition by Amy Nebens. This comprehensive guide was one of the only ones on the bookstore shelf that wasn't completely wrapped in plastic and actually served a functional purpose! If you have no idea where to begin, and even if you do, I highly recommend this planner. Nebens has written for Martha Stewart Weddings, Bridal Guide and a variety of books and freelance articles on the subject. She does a phenomenal job of taking the overwhelming minutia and breaking it down into an easy to understand, practical guide - from the engagement to the honeymoon. And whether you want to be married by a justice of the peace or have a big, fat Greek wedding, this planner will help you accomplish it all. It allows the following that I find the most useful: --Realistic timetable and advice at a glance for each part of the process --Money saving tips --List of questions to ask --Side-by-side comparison of multiple vendors (ceremony sites, caterers, etc.) --Pocket folders for slick sheets, 1-pagers, brochures --Business card holder ### http://veilstovino.blogspot.com

Planned my wedding using this planner

I looked through all the books on the shelves at Barnes and Nobles and other bookstores before using this planner for my May 2007 wedding. I read this planner from cover to cover, and found it had the most useful information I needed, and because it was in a binder I could easily add pages of information I had printed off the internet. The binder also makes it easy to remove pages that as an individual you may not need. I found my wedding planning to be really easy with all the timetable and guidlines this planner had to offer, and my guests and vendors were all impressed with how on top of things I was. I would HIGHLY recommend this planner to any bride planning her wedding on her own, or with the help of a wedding planner. I had a $20,000 wedding with 200 guests, worked full time until two weeks before the big day, had no wedding planner, my bridal party and family lived 1,000 miles aways and could not help me, I lived 100 miles from my wedding location, and I had eight months to pull it off. Yet I pulled off a great wedding using this planner and have had people recommend a new career.

Wonderful Planner

This is the best planner I have seen out there. It's the perfect size so you can tear out pages and insert them into the book without having to fold everything up. I purchased mine brand new (they have them in stock) from Barnes and Noble for $14.95.

I'll be your righthand "man"

This book is amazing. A real life saver! I am the maid of honor and live two states away from the bride. In order to keep us both on the same page, I bought one for her and one for myself. It held our hand every step of the way! I especially loved the budget info, recommended questions to ask and tips on proper etiquette.
