Bought this book in the store after I got engaged. I wanted something to get me started and it was cheap. It was a good start for planning. There are definately helpful hints and good lists however I forget about it as an actual planner.

This book is for someone who's really not done any research and is JUST starting out. If you've looked online and read articles, then this book might not be for you. I found a few things like questions to ask vendors helpful, but it just wasn't the end all be all. The book's too small to really write on so if you want to use the worksheets you're going to have to copy & blow them up. Which means you're shelling out money for that and you're shelling out money for the notebook to keep them all in. It's a good companion.

This is a short, quick book that stays on track with all the must-haves, must-asks, and must-dos of wedding planning. You should pair this with something more flowery if you want to get into the gorgeous details of your wedding, but this is a basic essential for those of us who didn't want to forget anything! I used this to make my own checklists, agendas, plans, schedules, etc. in Microsoft Word and Excel (but you can also use the book as is). Useful highlights: detailed budgeting, what to register for, hiring vendors (checklists and comparisons), how to run the ceremony, food, transporation, even changing your name post-wedding. I liked getting all of this info in a quick, light-weight, small format. This should be an essential part of your wedding arsenal.
