Great little book to guide my 'maids

I gave this book to my three 'maids so that we were all on the same page, and to give them (they're all first-timers) some guidance. The book is short, so it's not a big burden to ask them to read it. Plus, I love the practical etiquette points...It will help keep my girls in line without my having to be the one nagging at them (I hope). It's suitable for regular bridesmaids and the maid of honor--there are extra parts in each section elaborating on the MOH duties.

Cute, fun, helpful

I got this book first to find out what the attendants' roles generally are, and thought it was so fun and helpful and to the point that I bought copies of it for each of my bridesmaids. Some of the info was obvious to me, and some I had no idea. If you've been a bridesmaid before, you may already know some of this stuff, but it would certainly be a fun refresher. For those completely in the dark, this is a great, quick read with all the pertinent info included.

Nice design

I bought this book for my style savvy bridesmaid, not for its information... It's not badly written, it's very simple and to the point and, honestly, the typeface and graphic design are what caught my eye. It's very basic and very easy to read and refer to, a good choice for a first time bridesmaid.... probably the one who hasn't really put a lot of thought into what goes into being a wedding in general.

Stays with my planning stuff at all times

I'm a Maid Of Honor later this year and this book totally gave me ideas/new twists and brought up things I hadn't thought about. As a long distance MOH, the travel tips and hints were great too. I totally had no idea about some of the extra responsiblities in the reception! Yay for this book!
