Contest: Enter to Win a Sane Wedding Book

I steered clear of a lot of wedding planning books during my stint with wedding planning, primarily because so many of them were chock-full of "Things You Must Include in Order to Have a Real Wedding."

I was always on the lookout for books that helped relieve the pressure rather than add to it. This book, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Weddings, seems to do just that. Heck, it even alludes to "How to Avoid a Nervous Breakdown" on the front cover.

Here's what you can expect:

The authors of the phenomenally best-selling Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series are back with all new, step-by-step instructions to help the bride and groom [or bride and bride or groom and groom]—and everyone else—survive the nuptials, from trimming the guest list all the way through to repurposing unwanted presents. his matrimonial magna carta teaches how to charm nightmare in-laws, survive the bachelor party, combat floral allergies, stop a disastrous toast, and respond to honeymoon surprises. A helpful appendix provides creative solutions to other wedding emergencies: how to make a ring—or a bouquet—out of paper, conceal wedding day blemishes, and painlessly generate thank-you notes. No one should say "I do" without this essential survival guide: it's the absolutely perfect shower gift, and an indispensable self-help guide to getting hitched without a hitch.
