| Talk to your family about your budget, first of all, then go out and start to look at venues for your reception. Get started right away and try to be flexible on the date because some of the best places only have a few openings! Things will slowly fall into place after that. |

| First you have to know that the same people must be invited to BOTH the ceremony and reception, so budget accordingly. You can't just have 50 people at the ceremony and invite 150 to the reception, that's very rude.So to start, you and him have to come up with a budget that the two of you can afford, then you determine the number of guests, style of wedding, and go on from there.Good luck! |

| Have exactly what you want. Have immediate family and close friends invited to the wedding and everyone invited to the reception. Just make sure you have two invitations printed one inviting the family to the wedding with a reception card enclosed and one inviting everyone else just to the reception. That makes it feel more complete for the people just being invited to the reception. theknot.com is a good place to go to get a schedule/plan of what to do when. If you need travel arrangements, www.fasttravelguide.com is a good place to go to get great hotel, airline and rental car rates along with limos. |
