Tip of the Day: According to the pros at Adam + Alli, "Sometimes couples feel like they have to do something just for the sake of tradition or because they think it is the norm. Everything you include in your wedding should be a true reflection of who you are as individuals and who you want to grow into as a couple. Make every little detail about 'you' even if it means breaking the mold!"

Tip of the Day: "I witness more arm wrestling over guest lists than I care to see. Even the almighty budget discussion pales in comparison!" says Deanna from Deanna Nash Events.

Your guest count will dictate your budget and vice versa. Deanna tells us that depending on your market, each additional guest could add as much as $100 to $250 to your total budget.

She advises making a short list of the people you must invite and include a separate column for those that you want to be there. "It typically takes many passes at culling and editing before you'll have your final list. What NOT to do? Don't start huge and try to edit down. Once a name is on the list, emotions weigh in, and it is much harder to delete someone from it then it is to add them on later," Deanna advises.

Tip of the Day: If you're stuck with an annoying amount of time between the ceremony and reception, have a distracting snack station for guests. "At one wedding I helped plan, the guests grabbed locally-made chips and drinks, then hopped onto the transportation, which looped them around the city for a quick scenic tour before cocktail hour. No one was the wiser as to the lag in time!" says Laura Ritchie of Events in the City.
