Friday Bridesmaids' Book: The Bridesmaid’s Survival Guide

There are dozens of books being billed as “perfect bridesmaids’ gifts,” but only a few are actually worth purchasing. This book by nine-time bridesmaid Mary McDermott is an exceptional selection, largely for the “insider” view it provides. Rather than dispensing lofty clichés, McDermott gets deep into the more nuanced side of bridesmaiding, from being the default bridesmaid needed to even out the groomsmen lineup to dealing with undesirable bridesmaids’ dresses. This book isn’t for everyone but it is definitely the Bridget Jones of Bridesmaids’ Books: perfect for the young and single attendant looking to buy a flattering bridesmaids’ dress without blowing her Visa bill in the process. The fiendish cartoon illustrations also add to the fun. Copies of this book would make great bridesmaids’ gifts for younger bridal parties.
