I never can keep a copy of Weddings for Dummies; I no sooner buy one and I give it as a gift.I bought my first copy because someone told me that the information on flower arrangements would be helpful, even though the event in question was not a wedding.My last copy of Weddings for Dummies is on a shelf in Maine where it did duty in the planning of my son's wedding (a wedding of which Marcy Blum should be proud).When I ordered the Wedding Kit for Dummies, I thought I was replacing my Weddings for Dummies; what I got was a fantastic supplement to Weddings for Dummies, an entirely new book replete with software to make even the most disorganized person an organized party planner.The original book enables the bride-to-be to plan the wedding of her dreams, down to the smallest detail.The new book allows those dreams to take wing; it is a comprehensive "how to do it" book.The CD has forms, contracts and even spread sheets to keep track of expenses.There are checklists for things that most people might not even think of on their own, but which make a special event even more special...like how to evaluate a potential reception site. There are website addresses and sensible advice on how to use the Internet to obtain information and goods.I found the chapter entitled Ten Amazing Places for Destination weddings and Honeymoons especially interesting (I always wondered what it cost to get married at Disneyworld!)In short, if you cannothave Marcy Blum plan your wedding, this is the next best thing.If you are planning on giving this book as an engagement gift, pair it with the first book; the two together are indispensable references for planning the perfect wedding.Marcy Blum and Laura Fisher Kaiser have given us a glimpse of why books will not go the way of dinosaurs, a book that can actually help us interact better with the Internet rather than being replaced by it.Click Here to see more reviews about: Wedding Kit for Dummies (Soft Cover with CDR) (Paperback)
