Just suggestions, Brie; don't get snippy!

In case you missed it.

Brie has very high standards. Who ever she marries will have to meet all of these and more.

Hope she doesn't mind I included this, it has some good thoughts, too.

It's always difficult to know what to do with little kids. If they are close family members you may want to include them but their antics can be so unpredictable. Cute most of the time, but not on your special day.

Suggestion: Have them escort a special guest (Grandma, etc.) down the aisle.

If guests have to stay in a hotel fill a basket with special treats and ideas for things to do in the area and leave it in their rooms.

In the interest of a cheap wedding and big party, limit the personal flowers to groom, father of the bride & gramma's (they expect flowers). I don't need a corsage messing up the perfect outfit, groom's men / ushers don't care, and where do you stop? Guest book girl, cake cutter, it can get out of hand and expensive.

Drinking and Driving.
Hire a van or bus to carry family and friends from the reception back to their lodgings.
