Helpful in Wedding Planning	Customer Rating:
This book was one of the better books I've read for providing useful ideas that I could actually do myself. I only ended up using a couple of the ideas presented in this book but it was helpful for me in my wedding planning.

Parties NOT wedding.	Customer Rating:
This book would be cool if you had to plan different types of parties. There were only about 2 ideas we picked for our wedding. A lot of the ideas are kind of cheesey. They look very homemade. But there are good ideas in this for kids parties. Just my opinion! Good luck to everyone getting married!!

I think the book is beautiful. I have a small wedding business that I run out of my home and this book gave me some great ideas.

Not what I expected...	Customer Rating:
This book is helpful for the couple that is creating many of the elements associated with their wedding -- favors, centerpieces, items for the reception (chair covers, seating cards, etc.) Each 2-page spread features a photo of the item and a list of supplies and instructions to create it. I'd suggest checking it out in the library or bookstore before buying...
