Planet Wedding Giveaway!


We come across a lot of wedding-related books, but not all of them have information that is helpful to everyday brides-to-be. But the book "Planet Wedding: A Nuptialpedia" by Sandra Choron and Henry Choron has been a welcome surprise. Not only is it modern and fresh, but it has tips influenced by the way couples actually get married these days.

Among the tidbits are 9 Reasons to Have a Small Wedding, Pros and Cons of Destination Weddings, 23 Important Tips for Planning an Outdoor Wedding, 11 Guest Book Alternatives, 13 Ways To Save Money on Transportation. The authors also take into account that we're not all cut from the same cloth with advice on "How to Add Ethnic Accents to Your Wedding" and "15 Wacky Ways to Web", for those who really want to make a statement with their nuptials.

Now here's the juicy part: We are giving away a copy of Planet Wedding to one of our lucky readers. Just leave a comment here for a chance to win. It's that easy!
