Product Description
The indispensable companion to Weddings For Dummies. Named Best Wedding Planner by New York magazine, Marcy Blum has been helping brides and grooms pull off picture-perfect nuptials for more than two decades. So it's little wonder that her 1997 Weddings For Dummies has been such a smash success. Now, Blum and Weddings For Dummies coauthor Laura Fisher Kaiser have done one better: They've created a unique book-and-CD kit that makes it a cinch to plan and keep track of all those little wedding details. This practical, nuts-and-bolts package includes - A CD-ROM filled with templates, forms, worksheets, and checklists, from invitations to vendor contracts
- Live links to top Web wedding resources
- A unique calculator to help plan receptions
- Lists of popular wedding song titles and readings
Whether you're planning an intimate wedding, a big bash, or something in between, this invaluable resource will help you stay on track, stay sane, and make it to the ceremony on time.
Amazon.com Review
If you're planning a wedding, accept it now--there's a ton of details mucking up the happy path to the altar. There is so much on your mind that it's easy to freeze up and forget everything, or go crazy and paper the house with cryptic post-it notes. "After all," say authors Marcy Blum and Laura Fisher Kaiser, "a wedding is a complex affair to orchestrate, and keeping track of all those details, phone calls, expenses, and decisions is a job and a half." Organization is key. Wedding Kit for Dummies breaks the whole planning process down for you with a series of questions, charts, and spreadsheets. Intended as a companion piece to Weddings for Dummies, this book does not help you word your invitations or tell you where your step-grandmother should be seated. Rather, it helps you knowledgeably talk with your stationer (How much extra are the vellum invites? Should the date be written out or numeric?) and helps you chart who will escort whom down the aisle and when. Weddings can be ridiculously complicated, and almost everyone involved--especially the bride--is running on high. Wedding Kit for Dummies aims to lessen the stress with its comprehensive checklists, examples of contracts (for the caterer, hotel, flowers, DJ, etc.), and Excel spreadsheets (invitation list, RSVP list, budget tracker). Included is a CD-ROM that prints out hard copies of the lists and runs the spreadsheets (you'll need Windows 95 or later or Mac OS 7.5.5 or later to use the CD). And since so many couples plan on using the Internet, Wedding Kit for Dummies includes the Web addresses of many wedding-oriented sites. --Dana Van Nest

 Wedding Kit for Dummies December 31, 2008
This book is terrible. For $25, don't waste your time! The cd that comes with the book didn't include many of the most important spreadsheets hence the reason I purchased the book. I give it a zero.

I ordered this book again, since the first one I purchased, the cd was broken. The seller, returned my money and told me to keep the book...but what I really wanted was the cd. So I ordered the book again. Now, I have the cd and it is only good for 30 days.
Almost requires the other book February 25, 2006

I thought Wedding Kit For Dummies would be Weddings for Dummies plus the CD, it's not. It actually references stuff that's in the other book as if I'm going to buy both.
All in all it's not bad, it's just frustrating.

The book I purchased was no in the condition which it stated and this seller was very honest about it. The seller gave me the option to have a full refund since the book did not come with the CD. I'd buy from this person again.

The CD doesn't include the software that it says it does. You have to hunt in the book to find the information that the software included is TRIAL versions only (you can get full versions for a "nominal" fee). It says it includes excel and excel documents which are simply NOT present on the CD. DO NOT BUY!
