Why is it that everything leading up to “I Do” involves a flurry of to-do’s? Even the word engaged implies that you are busy, occupied, or employed. Planning your wedding is supposed to be a positive, once-in-a-lifetime experience, not a painstaking process.

Now Real Simple, the magazine that has become the trusted source for making life easier, offers brides- and grooms-to-be a one-stop resource filled with advice and real-life examples for planning a beautiful and memorable celebration. Here you will find strategies for getting started, such as picking a location, creating a budget, covering registry essentials, and planning a timeline starting anywhere from sixteen to four months before the wedding and all of the way up until the week of your big day. Tips on assembling a guest list, managing your wedding party, selecting invitations, flowers, and photographers, and creating your own special look—all on a budget—are also included in the book, as well as unique ways to make your reception special. With this helpful guide, couples can avoid all of the hassles associated with wedding planning while staying focused on the most important aspects of their nuptials—and each other.
