Time is counting down to the wedding day.
I never realized planning an event like this is so much work. My first advice would be to just hire a planner if you can afford it. But if you cannot afford that, just keep it small and simple. Choose a small intimate venue. Don’t have your ceremony, dinner and receptions at different places.
On that note, I must say Jim Raffel does an amazing job co-ordinating and planning the user group meeting for ColorMetrix every year. That event is entirely different, but I can sympathize on the amount of thought that must go into just the planning.
And one last piece of advice to the wedding planners. Register somewhere like Amazon.com. You will never run out of items to add to your registry.
