Funny, helpful, inexpensive handbook!, 3 Mar 2010

This review is from: The Best Man's Handbook: A Guy's Guide from Bachelor Party to the Toast (Hardcover)
Having been recently engaged, my wife-to-be was off purchasing guides and magazine subscriptions and handbooks for her maid of honor and other bridesmaids. This seemed totally appropriate for her, but when she asked me if I would be purchasing anything like that for my groomsmen, I declined. What could I possibly buy my groomsmen that they wouldn't laugh at or just throw to the side until the wedding is over?
This guide proved to be just the thing. At a great price on Amazon.com, and after reviewing some of the pages using their "Inside the Cover" feature, I knew this was a good choice. The handbook is quite funny, but never forgets to offer honest, helpful advice for your best man. My best man really appreciated it, and I would recommend this to anyone looking to help out their best man.

Horrible., 6 Feb 2007

My mom and I found this book in a store and bought it as an xmas gift for my fiance's dad. He mentioned he had NO idea what to do as a best man, so we wanted to give him something to help. I brought the book home and read it and I was astounded. Here I was thinking it was an honest, helpful guide. (It seemed like one when I flipped through the pages in the store) However, I was MOST disappointed to see that it was much more something you might give an 18 year old best man as a joke and hope he gets it. It made a mockery of a very important role in any wedding and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone. Utterly useless.
Taken as a joke, it's passing funny. But if you're looking for something helpful and useful....look elsewhere!

Books are of little value in planning a bachelor party. I read this book and had to laugh. For a suggestion that is a no brainer (if you are in the tri-state area) check out www.billydeans.com. I read someone elses posting took their advice and had my buddy's bachelor party there. Great value, heck of a lot of fun. He partisipated in the oil wrestling and I never laughed so hard in my life. SCRATCH the books when it comes to this subject!
