The Bride’s Book – Montgomery Ward Bridal Record Book (c.1955)

Mid‑1950s Montgomery Ward Bridal Record Book with Blank Pages

The Bride’s Book is a mid‑1950s bridal record booklet published by Montgomery Ward, likely offered as a complimentary keepsake to newly engaged women registering for their weddings. Measuring 5" × 9", this soft‑bound booklet features a textured cream cover with gold lettering and its original string‑tie binding — a charming detail typical of mid‑century department‑store stationery.

Inside are 20 pages (including covers) designed to record engagement details, wedding‑party names, ceremony information, gifts received, and honeymoon memories. The pages are beautifully printed in a clean, classic mid‑century style, offering a nostalgic look at how brides documented their celebrations during the postwar era.

This copy is unused, with no entries recorded. Condition is very good: no tears or bent corners, only light age toning and a few small areas of discoloration that may lift with a gum eraser. A lovely piece of 1950s wedding ephemera — ideal for collectors, bridal historians, or as a sentimental gift for a bride who appreciates vintage charm.

An ideal gift for a future bride who loves vintage, especially when placed inside this reproduction Colonial Bride's Box ready to store all her wedding mementos. 

Blank with no entries recorded, the booklet is in great vintage condition with no tears or bent corners. There is some discoloration that may be removed with a gum eraser.
