Hi, I’m Crista Tharp.

Congratulations! Preparing for a wedding should be a time filled with happiness with the promise of a new beginning.

But sometimes it can be a very overwhelming and stressful experience.  Times have changed dramatically since you got married and Emily Post no longer rules the day.

 

 

 

Questions start to flood your mind:

• Where do we start?
• What if we forget something?
• What is the “right way” to do things now?
• How do we prevent getting taken advantage of?
• How do we make sure we give them the wedding of their dreams without going into debt?

Let me reassure you first and tell you that IT WILL BE OK. I have been an event planner specializing in weddings for over 10 years.  I am an author of 5 books, a newspaper columnist, a regular contributor to www.WedPlan101.com, and I speak all over the country on my creative method of wedding planning.

Through my years of experience I have watched couples struggle when they couldn’t afford to hire a planner/coordinator.

They believed that if they didn’t have a professional and spend over $50,000 they couldn’t have a beautiful, seamless, perfect wedding.

 BALONEY!

You CAN plan your own wedding, plan it just as well as a professional
and save THOUSANDS of dollars in the process!

 I forgot to mention that I have been married for 13 years to the same incredible handsome stud-of-a-man and we have 8 children all under the age of 12.  Yes, they are all ours and we do own a T.V.!  We just love each other – which is what I hope for all Brides and Grooms.

Planning a wedding can be a very stressful experience and Brides & Grooms can easily forget the reason why they are doing it in the first place – to marry the love of their life!  Which is why I Created “The Ultimate Bridal Survivor ™ Wedding Guide”:
I tell couples….

Because you are the parent, you need a guide that walks you step-by-step through the process just like the Bride.  You have your own issues, responsibilities, duties and questions that you want answered.

So how do you get all of your information without wading through the internet, the bridal books, or bugging all of your friends who have gone through it before?

Easy!

I created The Parents’ Bridal Survivor™ Wedding Guide for BOTH sets of parents.  This way, both sides of the family know exactly what their responsibilities are and it helps to foster discussions that are positive and productive.

It lay out the process step-by-step for you but it includes the Bliss Method ™, vendor information, and ways to save money.  Not only that, all of your notes, worksheets and checklists in one place to keep you organized and ready.

 

"The Parent's guide is perfect for keeping both families on-track and up-to-date! Both sets of parents will enjoy tips on how to help the bride and groom while fulfilling their roles in the wedding process. It's truly a marriage-saving tool."   ~ Amanda Wilson

"I had no idea where I should start.  I had cake and punch at my wedding 27 years ago.  My daughter wanted a huge wedding and I was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to get it for her.  She bought me The Parents’ Guide and I can not tell you what a God-send it was!  Everything was laid out for me.  It told me everything about today’s weddings.  The wedding was a huge success and I actually enjoyed the day!  Thank you so much." ~ Grace Wynters

"This is the best thing I have ever read!  It is exactly what my husband and I needed.  I have passed it on to all of my friends that have a child getting married.  Without a doubt, every parent should read this.  I promise it will make it easier." ~ Joan Miller

You will NOT find a guide that was written for BOTH SETS Parents that is more concise or more informative than this one. Just take a look at the Table of Contents and you will see how much crucial information I have packed into this guide.

There is no fluff. Only what you need to know. And I have included pivotal worksheets and checklists that will keep you organized and will NOT let you forget a single thing.

And another thing…

This guide features The Bliss Method ™, a 4 phase system that guides a Bride step-by step through the planning, delegation, and execution of her wedding day. This method is shockingly simple and is spreading like wildfire through the wedding industry – of which I am extremely proud.

Lets face it…old timelines don’t work anymore. And most of the information you get out of those Bridal magazines is down right WRONG!  Brides are screaming for everything they need all in one place. They don’t want to spend hours scouring the internet for bits and pieces of the right information and sorting out what isn’t overt advertisements.

It is important that you have this information too. We need to put the “engage” back into “engagement”. This guide helps you do that. I promise.  And I also promise that when someone asks you “how’s the wedding planning going?”  You will respond enthusiastically – GREAT!!

 Really?

Obviously, if you were to hire a wedding planner it would cost you upwards of $2,000 or more.  And even if you just hire us hourly to “pick our brains” it will cost you anywhere from $60 - $100!

I wrote this guide to answer any question you may have, bring you up-to-date on today’s trends, lay out each of your responsibilities and help you save money as well.  I am NOT going to take advantage of you and I refuse to overprice what I have been blessed with to share. The wealth of information packed in the Parents’ Bridal Survivor ™ Wedding Guide is worth well over $25.

HOWEVER, I am now offering it at $9.95 to celebrate the unbelievable success of the second edition!

 But wait!

I’m am so sure you’ll love every word of it that I am offering a 30 day 100% money back no risk guarantee!  If for any reason you are not 100% satisfied, just send me an email and I will refund every penny – no questions asked.
