Notes from the Mother of the Bride (m.o.b.): Planning Tips and Advice from a Wedding-Day Veteran FROM THE PUBLISHER
A wedding is a rite of passage not only for the bride but for her mother as
well. The mother of the bride may be producing the largest party of her
life, and she needs the support of an experienced event planner who�s been
through it all!
Includes:
The sensible wedding (as opposed to the blind, excessive, orgiastic
blowout gala)
Get prepared for this mother of all plan-a-thons
Time is money how to prioritize
If you can survive the guest list, the rest will be a piece of cake
Trying to stay focused while flinging away money
Flowers, champagne, food and other necessary evils
The wedding day, an out-of-body experience
Post-wedding observations: if I had it to do over, I could still make the
same mistakes
All the while, you�ll learn how to stay on good terms with the bride (keep
your mouth shut), how the father of the bride can stay on good terms with
the bride (pay promptly, leave everything to the M.O.B. and keep his mouth
shut) and the best way to deal with the groom, the wedding party, the
groom�s family and everyone else involved in this second most exciting day
of your life (the first was, of course, your own wedding!).
Lively, funny and eminently useful, no M.O.B. can afford to be without this
guide!
