Reading materials

After getting engaged, people have given me a number of bridal magazines and a few wedding books. I won't lie, I've looked through them all already. A friend of mine from work gave me a book called the Anti-Bride wedding planner. The idea of it is that it gives traditional wedding advice as well modern hipster twists for planning a wedding. The advice is practical and useful with a lot of cost saving suggestions. While perusing for wedding books at Barnes and Nobles (to give to a friend who is also planning her wedding) I came across another Anti-Bride book. This one was on wedding ettiquite. I bought it and the information is invaluable. It covers everything from engagement advice to wording on invitations. Again, the theme of the Anti-Bride is explaining the traditions and how to bend the rules without breaking your ideals or your bank. I highly suggest this series for anyone interested in planning a wedding, shower, bachelorette, or engagment party.
