FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
After searching in vain for a book to help her plan a small wedding, journalist Friedrichsen used information gleaned from books, articles, web sites, wedding consultants, and other brides to write her own. Many couples opt for small weddings owing to family situations, money concerns, time limitations, or simply the desire to have guests participate more. Friedrichsen's guide helps them create realistic budgets, intimate ceremonies, and memorable receptions. There are the obligatory discussions of indoors vs. outdoors, themes, and destination weddings, but Friedrichsen also shares many ideas for involving guests, creating drama, and saving money. Throughout, real couples briefly describe their special day along with budget breakdowns. Brides can get inspiration from couples who invited fewer than a dozen guests to luxurious events or from other couples who entertained over 50 at low-key receptions. Wedding books are always popular, and one catering to couples planning an intimate affair for fewer than 75 guests will surely be in demand. Recommended for all public libraries.
