My Wedding Planner

Summary: mixed reviews
Review: I purchased this planner based on the glowing reviews on this website. It did have some good questions to keep in mind and some very good organizational materials, but I also felt like 1-800-WEDDINGS were hyping themselves too much. (I work in advertising and still found it offensive). I was also upset that the "honeymoon" section had only two tabs-"Sandals" and "Hawaii". As if these are the only two places anyone would consider honeymooning. It just made me wonder how much Sandles was paying them to promote their resort. In the end, I took some pages from this planner and put together a better one for myself (the pockets did come in handy!). It was helpful, but it may not be everythng you need.

Summary: Don't leave home without it!
Review: I was recently married and used the 1-800-WEDDING Planner throughout my wedding planning activities. It really helped me in organizing all of my receipts, contracts and other items. Each section (photographer, florist, etc) gave great questions to ask when interviewing and hiring a wedding specialist. The planner was so useful that I carried it with me everywhere - to work, to my appointments - even dinner with friends! I would definitely recommend this to anyone getting married and planning a wedding.

Review: I'm the Maid of Honor in my friend's wedding so I bought her the "My Wedding Planner" as an engagement gift. It's turned out to be one of her (and my) favorite and most practical gifts. In the middle of her wedding planning, my friend got sick so I had to go on a couple appointments for her (the photographer and reception site). I don't think I could've done it without this planner. It covered every detail and she couldn't believe all the info I was able to give her after the appointments--it gave me all the questions to ask...we wouldn't have even thought to ask most of them. It's also really easy to use and has pockets to hold all the papers and receipts. The "Timeline" section lets you know when you should have certain things done and throughout the planner it tells you where on the company's web site you can download more information. I highly recommend "My Wedding Planner" for every bride and wish I had it when I got married!

Review: This "planner" has more advertisements for 1-800-wedding's financial services and other vendors' products and services, and less helpful information than most of the other planning books that I've seen. The questions that are listed for various vendors are helpful, but are also available in most other wedding planning books. Compared to other books, this was a waste of my money.
