Today's giveaway is A Catholic Bride's Wedding Planner by Tracy Becker. File this away in the category, "I wish I had this when I got married."
A Catholic Bride's Wedding Planner includes information about the sacrament of marriage, prayers, appointment stickers, a fill-in calendar, receipt holder.
My favorite feature is the laminated bookmark with a planning guide, with tasks like "request baptismal certificates." It would be handy to keep right in the planner's calendar section.
The only drawback for me was a lack of introduction. The planner starts right off nicely with a quote from Scripture (1Cor 13:4-8), but then jumps right in with some challenging (meaning, a challenge to read) quotes from Casti Connubii, a Piux XI encyclical. I wish there would have been a little introduction, perhaps a summary of the church documents. Otherwise, there are lots of great ideas here!
A Catholic Bride's Wedding Planner is also featured on the Catholic site, "For Your Marriage," and its helpful page on wedding planning resources. This page is a great source of other websites and books listed--do check it out if you are getting married in the near future.
