Summary: 1001 ways?
Review: 1001 ways? I think if someone took the time to count, this book comes up short. I didn't find anything worthwhile.
Having planned my own first wedding, (even though it was all those years ago) I thought most of the tips were pure common sense. I have helped friends with weddings and spent some time "surfing" for information on the Internet.
This book may be better for someone with more limited experience.

Summary: Ther Perfect 2nd Wedding
Review: As an experienced wedding planner, I'm often asked how one goes about bringing the same dignity and glamour to a 2nd wedding that they did to their 1st. My answer: Don't! Make it better! Then I recommend the final words in book selections. For "remarriage" planning: "1,0001 Ways to have a Dazzling Second Weddding" by Sharon Naylor. And for the perfect remarriage wedding vows: "With These Words...I Thee Wed: Contemporary Wedding Vows For Today's Couples" by Barbara Eklof. Exceptional situations require exceptional books.

Summary: So helpful!
Review: Finally! A book on second weddings that doesn't sound like every other wedding planning book for first-timers! I loved that it gives solid planning advice AND also talks about how to deal with your family, how to include your kids in the wedding, and deal with any nervousness you have about getting married a second time. Great ideas on how to make your wedding different from the first, and dispels old etiquette rules about what you can and can't do at a second wedding. I feel a lot better about my wedding plans since I read this, and I'm definitely going to use more of these ideas.

Summary: Extremely disappointing
Review: I was really looking forward to reading this book because the foreword is titled "Second Time Jitters" and explains that it's perfectly normal for second-time brides to feel apprehensive about going through the whole wedding thing again. "After all, you vowed to love, honor, and respect for all eternity." So, what exactly did those vows mean and can I say them again with confidence? What happens if the groom is getting married for the first time and he wants the big wedding with all the trimming? Naylor says that it's okay to feel nervous, but remember that I'm a "completely different person" than I was in my first marriage. Okay!Great beginning. Two pages. Unfortunately the remaining 25 chapters repeat every other how-to wedding manual. Very disappointing.

Summary: Best advice I've seen for planning second weddings!
Review: There are very few books available which address second (or more) weddings. Everything seems to be geared to the young bride-to-be who has her family's "golden checkbook" for services. Well, this book not only gives great advice on planning (etiquette, etc.)., but also lists resources for reasonably-priced invitations, gowns, etc. The author's good humor shines through at all times -- she writes as though talking to a friend. Highly recommended.

Summary: Good if you remember how you did the last wedding
Review: This book has some good tidbits in it, especially for how to include children in your upcoming nuptials. However, I was disappointed to find that it sometimes glossed over important details, such as suggestions for wording invitations to a second wedding, and a list of suggested floral pieces, saying "You already know this". For some of us, it has been quite some time since the frantic flurry of first-time wedding planning, so we do NOT remember this. Also lists a lot of quotes and commercial sources from businesses, which seemed a bit odd. This book has some interesting ideas, but you'll almost certainly need another book on wedding planning to supplement the information not included.
