I’ve never seen a 52 BRILLIANT IDEAS book, but if all of them are as disorganized as this one, I don’t want to.
The “idea” behind this book is that each chapter is one big idea with several small ideas in it. Each “idea” is only four pages long–five if it’s a very unusual chapter, and the last page is just some Q & A, usually etiquette related.
But the book seems to be in no order whatsoever. “Honeymoon” is chapter/idea 30. “I Married A-Broad” is idea 22, while “Start Spreading the News” (about engagement announcements) is 34. Civil Ceremonies is idea 40, religious ceremonies is 45, and commitment ceremonies is idea 48. Between ideas 40 and 48 we find chapters about, among other things, music and bachelor(ette) parties. What sort of logic is this? Similar topics aren’t even grouped together.
The pictures look like they came from some stock image source. Many of them don’t seem to mesh with the chapters they’re in. This only helps to solidify my opinion that this book was only printed because brides will buy anything with WEDDING stamped on it.
Also, this book would only be of (very little) use if you are planning the traditional white wedding. If you are looking for ANY out-of-the-ordinary ideas, they aren’t in this book.
If you MUST get this book, get it used at least, to save some money.
