How to Plan a Wedding: A Month-by-Month Guide for Modern Weddings is a well written and logically arranged planner for readers who are planning (or helping plan) an event, primarily weddings. Released 12th Dec 2023 by Penguin Random House on their 10 Speed Press imprint, it's 144 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.
It's arranged as a planner, with tasks and lists (many customizable) arranged in a calendar format: 12 months to event... 11 months... 10 months...etc, down to two weeks before. The author, Terri Pous, is an experienced planner and has written about event planning in the NYT, among other media outlets.
This is an inclusive guide, and it's nice that the author presupposes no gender roles, or type of couple. Much of the language is gender-neutral, which is a nice touch for couples who don't fit a rigid formula. There are interactive quiz type worksheets to fill out and many (many!) ideas for less traditional ceremonies.
Graphically, it's very simple and formatted/typeset in a restful and serene typeface. The illustrations are simple, mostly floral themed, and line drawn. Salient special points are written into highlighted text bars.
There is no index in the pre-release ARC provided for review, but the book does include an abbreviated resources and links lists as well as a very short glossary with some useful terms which might be new for some readers.
Four stars. Very simple (but logical) layout, restful graphics, and accessible, no-nonsense language.The inclusive language and flexibility are a big plus for non-traditional couples, or for couples who are planning a less traditional wedding.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
