"This guide helped to keep my sanity when helping my daughter plan her wedding. And we didn’t go broke!"

Why Should You Listen to Me?
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.
I planned my own wedding and did it on a budget. I am just like you – but I know the techniques and tips you need to survive this process and I want to share them with you.
The internet is full of books written by Brides who love to scare you into thinking that all wedding vendors are out to scam you and rip you off. That is simply not true!
In fact, most Brides are taken advantage of because they didn’t do their homework.
You CAN plan your own wedding, plan it just as well as a professional and save THOUSANDS of dollars in the process!
I want to thank Crista for the "Ultimate Wedding Planner" and give her the full credit for making my planning experience the most enjoyable yet of any event I have ever done. I have truly enjoyed every minute of the wedding planning experience and I look forward to many more memories to come."
~ Amanda Ulmer
WHY MOST PLANNING BOOKS DON’T WORK…
Old timelines don’t work anymore. And most of the information you get out of those Bridal magazines is down-right WRONG! Brides 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.
If you go to a book store and pick up any of the hundreds of books they have on wedding planning available, I will bet you good money that 99% of them were written AT LEAST 10 years ago, and if not, EVEN LONGER. Trends, etiquette and issues change by the minute these days. Books written 5, 10, and 20 years ago are only going to cause you problems and cost you MORE MONEY.
WHY THIS GUIDE IS DIFFERENT…
You don’t have to be a professional to do it – just use the tricks of the trade – all of which are included in this SYSTEM.
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.
IF YOU USE MY METHOD, YOUR WILL LEARN …
- How to have that first meeting with your parents without discomfort (a template is provided)
- Today’s traditional break-down of expenses
- The role of families
- How to deal with an over-bearing Mother-In-Law
- The best ways to incorporate children and step-parents into the ceremony
- The complete list of responsibilities for every member of your Bridal Party
- How to deal with out-of-town guests and getting the best rates for room blocks
- The three rules of Bridal Survival
- The Bliss Method ™ (a comprehensive checklist for each phase is provided)
- The way professional planners create the agendas for the rehearsal, ceremony and reception (templates are included)
- Options for the flow of your wedding day (everything from location and timing to seating and toasts
- Everything you need to know about vendors. Every question you should ask (template included), How to work with them, who you tip and who you don’t, deposits and final payment arrangements as well as comprehensive quote templates for each category.
- How to choose the best rentals
- Creative ideas for accessories, favors and Bridal Party gifts
- Out-of the-box suggestions and complete directions for your invitations
- How to plan the perfect Honeymoon (template included)
- What you need to know about ordering your wedding gown, the Bridesmaids dresses and tuxedos
- What you need to know to prepare for your marriage
- Important wedding abbreviations and terms
- And so much more!
This guide is over 70 pages long with over 80 sample forms, checklists, and quote templates!
You Will NOT Find Anything This Comprehensive Anywhere Else!
Just listen to what my clients are saying:
"During my 25 years in the wedding industry I have seen many trends come and go, unfortunately, most outlived their usefulness long ago. The UBSWG is an inventive new look at wedding planning. It is realistic and in touch with the issues and concerns of a modern Bride.
~ Jeff Hodson – Publisher-www.WedPlan101.com
The UBSWG Was a Lifesaver!
“Thank you so much for this fabulous planner. When I received it I couldn’t believe how much information was packed into it! Since I couldn’t afford a wedding planner I was sure that I would forget something but I didn’t. It was the perfect day I always dreamed of.”
~ Megan Gentry

If I succeed in my goal then you and everyone in your family is happy and your wedding day is nothing but blissful and THAT is how you start a marriage.
SERIOUSLY!Just to make sure you realize that I really want to help you, I have added the following bonuses that will ensure you will have EVERY tool you need to plan a wedding that you will never forget! In addition to “The Ultimate Bridal Survivor ™ Wedding Guide”, I have written companion guides for the Groom, Best Man, Maid of Honor, and Both sets of Parents. I am including all five (two copies for each set of parents) of these guides FREE!
BONUS #1 The Groom’s Bridal Survivor ™ Wedding Guide...tells your love EXACTLY what is expected of him, and his Best Man; includes details on his tuxes, the honeymoon, the marriage license and even has wedding terms and abbreviations he needs to know. Not only that, but the guide is complete with notes for his toast, his “To Do” list and “Day Of” checklist. |
 |
BONUS #2 The Best Man’s Bridal Survivor ™ Wedding Guide....was written so the Best Man knows everything he is supposed to do to help your Groom out during the planning process and the day of the wedding. If you are afraid he thinks his job is only to get your love the night before and decorate your get-away car: this is the book for him and it is totally free!
|

BONUS #3 The Maid of Honor’s Bridal Survivor ™ Wedding Guide...is filled with tips on how to assist the Bride without going crazy, secrets on how to manage the wedding party like a pro, the MOH’s duties and financial responsibilities and everything in-between (including checklists & notes!)

“I have to say, the little books for the Groom and Best Man where great. They really didn’t know what they were doing. And the one for the parents was great because they BOTH saw what they were supposed to do without me having to tell them. I loved that!”
~ Tricia Jones
I LOVED how the guide helped keep me organized! “The Bliss Method ™ kept me on track and doing things in an order that made sense. The worksheets helped me figure out what I needed/wanted during the planning process. The Quote templates were amazing - they helped me ask ALL the right questions when meeting with vendors!!!"
~ Nichole Westrom
Finally, Someone Uses Common Sense!
Thank you for your refreshing honesty. I didn’t have time to waste on a book full of stuff about wedding dress styles and how to buy the perfect ring. You wrote exactly what a Bride needs to know (sometimes things they don’t really want to hear) in a humorous and entertaining way. I have never seen separate books for the Bridal Party either. That was a great idea!
~ Tina Young
Obviously, if you were to hire a wedding planner it would cost you upwards of $2,000 or more. I wrote this guide so you could be your own planner and 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. Since I know that every Bride is different, I am offering two different options to choose from:
- You can purchase the E-Book option and create your own binder/scrapbook to put it in;
- OR for just $20 more you can receive the E-Book AND the official 3-ringed hardback organizer with the UBSWG already inserted along with the pre-printed tabs and all of the forms and checklists printed out. It is your choice – your personality – your wedding!
The “The Ultimate Bridal Survivor ™ Wedding Guide” PLUS the bonuses are worth more than $99. HOWEVER, I am now offering it at $39.99 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.
Still unsure?
