This one contains some helpful information, but also a bit of unnecessary material.

[Harriett Milnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seems to cover everything! I have dog-eared many pages, so we shall see.

Useful and helpful reference on everything that needs to be done

Done. Got this because I needed help! Book is helpful but is a bit dated at this point with references to old internet sites no longer in place. I think it also overstates mom’s role in the wedding as it basically suggests you are the wedding planner.

However, that said, this book was a great reminder of everything that goes into a wedding and WONDERFUL at reminding mom that your job is to support, no matter what! Except on thank you notes where you must bug the heck out of the bride and groom to do them early, often, and regularly!!

I think a good update could include hints about how to find used wedding decor - Facebook marketplace is a gold mine!

Some nice, helpful tips for what to do and when. Also some great advice for those with non traditional families. Mostly common sense.

Lots of good tips and reminders.

Outdated. You would be better off going on line and searching Wedding/Mother of the Bride.

Helpful perspective on how to help my daughter plan her 2024 wedding, without either taking over or not helping much.

Good for picking and choosing info to get started as a beginner MOB. I will hang on to it as a reference. I will probably use the internet for help also.

Good number of lists of questions to ask various vendors before booking them.

[Donna D · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has been so helpful in navigating the role of MOB. If you are wondering what you're suppose to do after your daughter becomes engaged, this will show you the ropes. It's written from a point of view that may be a little old school but it still gave me lots of information on what to expect and what I will need to do.
