1. don't worry about creating a seating arrangement, this will cause problems during the wedding and reception, and it will ruin what should be your day.
2. keep food simple, a buffet style dinner works the best, that way people can get what they want
3. don't go overboard on flowers and decorations for the wedding, instead think of practical decorations that you will be able to reuse for your home after the wedding--candles, table clothes (put the candles on top of silver platters it reflects the light and you can use the platters around the holidays)
4. have an open bar, not one that you pay for, but one that if people want to drink they buy it themselves.
5. looking to make a little extra cash in order to pay for the final cost of the wedding, have a "dollar" dance--this is where anyone who wants to dance with you or your new husband gives you a dollar/him a dollar (I had some people actually give me $20 bills) its a good way to make extra money |

what do you still need to do?
My fiance and I decided to instead of having a huge reception to just have a cake and beverage reception. Much easier to plan and much less expensive. |

If you're sweating over things like bridesmaid shoe color doesn't match bridesmaid dresses, then just keep in mind that the wedding day goes by very quickly. If you look back 5 years from now, some of these things won't matter anymore.
If you're sweating over things like you still don't have a DJ / band, or you don't have a dress, then girl, get your friends and family, including your groom, to help out. 2 weeks is still a lot of time, and you can still make a lot of things happen, but you will definitely need help.
Good luck. |

I have tons of suggestions...Alope was the first thing that came to mind, but if you insist on a big to do, then formal ceremony, and informal reception. Pig roasts do fairly well...buffet style is cheap. Enlist the help of your older relatives who love to cook. See if they can make one dish each, check your local VFW...the halls are inexpensive to rent out. Keep in mind that everyone is attending to celebrate your marriage, not critique your planning. I've been to the most lavish weddings and have been bored off my butt, and I've been to the backyard bbq, ones where the teenager got to play dj with mom and dad's stereo, The men get to play bartender, table settings were picnic tables with daisies for the centerpiece, and have had the time of my life. It seems like family gets along better if it's a relaxed environment. So stop stressing, take a deep breath and relax. Nothing in this world is perfect and nobody expects you to be. |

I think you should get someone to help you with all the tasks such as a housekeeper or something. Well I wish you soooo much love and I hope you last for a million years together.
Don't forget that the most impotant thing is to be happy all the time and don't get too much stress because at Honey-moon you are going to need a lot of energy :) |

b & b. they will do everything for you from decorating to food.all you need is a preacher and guests.
just keep this in mind:
it's about spending the rest of your lives together, as one.
something will get all screwed up that day, but it will be something to laugh about next year. |

o.m.g you poor thing i think wedding planning and going insane are one in the same i have one word for you delegate,find a girlfriend or a female relative who has already been down the long and winding road of wedding planning to help you out .you can easily oversee everything and make final decisions without having to be everywhere at once.this is supposed to be the happiest time of you're life the last thing you want to do is become a bridezilla you have you're entire marriage to be a control hand the reigns to someone else foe a bit put up you're feet .or you can always drink alot of vodka....vodka helps good luck and congratulations on you're upcoming nuptials. |

Don't worry about the little things.
Think about making the relationship good in the long term. Face it...not everything will be perfect. In fact, perfect is just a dream to go for.....
Try to work out frequently and manage you and your fiances stress. Smile alot and don't forget to laugh about everything. You are making a memory to look back on over the years.....and remembering the planning won't be in your memory. What you will remember is how you laughed it off and managed dealing with all those people who thought they were being helpful.
Be your sweetie's best friend...and be happy. This is a magical time. Take pictures...and delegate the yucky parts to "helpful" people. Remember to wear a pretty smile.
Good luck to both of you |

Order the cake NOW!
Enroll your family and friends help. If you have bridesmaids, delegate functions.
Order your flowers for your bouqet now, Decide on whether or not you want a florist to do it yourself. Fresh or silk flowers.
Have you tried on your dress. Does it need alterations?
Decide how are you going to go to the ceremony. Limo? Horse drwn carriage? car?
Decide wheteher or not you will have liquaor at the reception and see who is going to prepare the food and serve it.
Good luck |
