Wedding planning guide for a clueless bride?

I've just booked a wedding coordinator for our wedding who also does wedding planning and offering advice. Could you encourage your friend to find one or put her in touch with one or two wedding planners? Many just offer a few hours meeting where you can discuss what you want and how to go about it. Or they can plan the whole thing for you.

I just googled wedding planners in my area and found loads, then checked their "stats" to make sure they were legitimate. The lady we have is brilliant and has offered so many ideas/advice already, and we're just having her be there on the day and I've done all planning myself.

This might be good for your friend- chatting to someone who knows the ropes and can put her in the right direction?

Bex! I got that one too! Its got little wallets in it too so you can print things off and store them in there for reference. Why not introduce her to Hitched too, might help to ask questions for when shes stuck, and get advice.

Hello from a new hitcher (introductory post on main planning board)- best thing in my humble opinion is to guide her to a forum. books are great but if for any reason it doesn't give her the answers she needs, real people going through the same process will be an even better font of information! HTH

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I don't think she'd use a forum, she'd never have chance to be honest. I'll have a look in WHSmiths next time I'm around town. Other than that, I think this MOH is going to be heavily involved in keeping the bride on track!
