I got this for myself a week after we got engaged. I am a scrapbooker and crafter but there is no way I could make my own journal and address all the questions/prompts they have in this book. It starts by asking a few things about dating, how you met, etc. then goes in to the proposal and what ideas you have about the wedding you want. There is even a section for wedding memories, after the wedding, the honeymoon, and 1st anniversary.Not only is this a super cute idea all around the book itself is great quality. The cover is nice and sturdy and has an elastic band to keep it closed. There are thicker cardstock pages throughout that are pockets for pictures and small mementos and there is plenty of space to answer the questions. The layout is cute and fun!I cannot wait for some of my close friends to get engaged because I will buy this for them in a heartbeat! Such a great way to preserve memories! And the best part is -- it's not just for the bride!Examples of some of the contents:1. he said, she said...me (when I realized he was the one):he (when I realized she was the one):2. here's what's on my mind at the moment...I've had the most fun planning these aspects of the wedding:I need to take just a second to vent about:My overall emotional outlook right now (nervous, excited, exhausted, elated):3. i do! i do! we did!what went through our minds when we first saw each other that dayme:he:it was (check the boxes) magical, emotional, a blur, exactly as we hoped and imagined.
I LOVE filling out this "journal" about our upcoming wedding! I went to the store looking for a Wedding Planner Book when I came across this. I basically wanted a way to compile all of my memories but found the Wedding Planner books to be more instructive than for memories. This book is perfect, it's like a mini scrapbook. I will still scrapbook all of my wedding stuff someday but this is a GREAT book for doing AS you going through wedding planning! The only downfall is that I have so many memories that it's stretching the book to its limit!
I bought this book for my future daughter in law and she loved it. The book asks questions about things that you would never even think of if you were doing it on your own. It has little pockets for newspaper clippings, cards, and every thing imaginable. It covers both what the bride dreams of and how it actually turns out. It has sections for people close to the couple to write words of advice, and the song that the bride and groom, the father of the bride, and the mother of the groom danced to. Both my "daughter" and I were truly happy with this book and would recommend it (but give it to the bride like right after you find out she is engaged as there are questions that if you wait too long the bride might forget) I bought this about 2 days after they got engaged and the wedding is 1 1/2 years away.
Unfortunately, I did not find this book to be what I expected. Actually, I'm not sure exactly what I had expected because there wasn't too much information about it. Maybe it would be better for the bride to be that expects to spend $50,000 on her wedding. To me personally this book seemed a bit childish.... I remember the day I met my fiance without having to write it down... I don't remember what I wore or whatever. I cannot write a page long story of my engagement ring, it's beautiful but what more can I give other than what it looks like? We aren't doing a registry, which takes up a whole 2 pages, and many other things that just don't apply to me or strike my interest to talk about. If you are looking to write every memory of everything about your significant other and wedding.. this MAY be for you. It's like a baby book for your wedding essentially. Maybe we aren't that exciting? Maybe just the fact we don't need to write things down to remember our special moments... Just wasn't for me. Overall, the book is pretty, has lots of pages for pictures and writing down all your special moments.
(This is Matthew's wife writing) I bought this book for myself for our wedding last year and loved it. It's a small, yet concise way to store the little memories of your wedding-the things you'd love your daughter to read about one day. Since my wedding, I have purchased this book for two of my other girl friends that are getting married and I think I'll keep up the tradition. Good buy.
This is a wonderful book for all bride-to-be. Its a great way to remember how he proposed and all the other little details of your relationship. We did it so one person filled out their side, then the other covered it up and answered the same questions and then compared what we wrote. It was fun and we will be able to remember everything like it just happened. Definitely recommend.
Great book! Was just what I was looking for after seeing my mom's keepsake journal. Has lots of prompts and areas for him to be involved too. Has pockets to keep invites and notes.Cons:- inside, the pages are bound by wire not like a book but better than a binder. It's secure enough but I was hoping for it to be bound like a book- wish there was a section for engagement party detailsPros:- Thoughtful, short, easy prompts to make journaling easier if you've never done this before- NOT a planning book! (There's too many out there, this is strictly to record memories)Would be a good gift for any couple who got engaged.
