2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. would not recommendBy talkinturtlesi was hoping for some solutions to problems that come up with planning a wedding with a family you don't really know. instead, all the advice there was was to put on a happy face, solve anything that comes up and give in to anybody that may cause a problem. i get that as the mother of the bride, you need to work with others and compromise. but, there was nothing here to help actually plan anything. i can't believe how many parties and invitations this author thinks you need to have after your daughter gets engaged. it's like we are back in the 1800s and have a coming out ball, engagement parties, teas, etc. maybe if you are high society and have 24 hours a day to plan and participate in parties, that would be great. but we are having a simple reception.
