He’s been down on one knee. She’s blushed a little and checked out the carats. She’s said OK then. Now the real fun has started: planning a wedding. If it’s not handled correctly it can be a challenging and exhausting experience - so it’s just like a marriage, then?

 The Wedding Planner is a book version of those professional types who make sure every last detail is covered in time for the wedding day and beyond. It has been compiled by experts in the field, and guides the couple through every single thing they need to do to ensure nothing is left off the schedule.

 There’s a calendar included that helps them to count down to the ceremony in a methodical and reassuring way, and a wealth of lists and prompts, too. Best of all, inspiration is assisted by some imaginative ideas that will help to make a wedding day and night like no other.

 The Wedding Planner costs £18.95 and measures 24 cm by 21.6 cm; as well as the priceless information contained within its pages, there’s a roomy pouch to keep all the notes, plans, receipts and lists tucked away in one place.

 With a little help from GettingPersonal.co.uk, a friend or relative of the couple could get the couple a present that will be appreciated just as much as any of the wedding gifts on the list - and they won’t forget do make one of those, either.
