During your wedding planning, arrange for even numbers of guests at each table. Try grouping tables by age groups so that they can talk about similar things.
Post a schedule of events on your wedding website or send an itinerary with your wedding invitations.

Include relevant information about the rehearsal dinner, reception and so on, so that each person knows where to be.
Even if your dress has been selected and paid for, you may want to store it with the bridal boutique until the day of your wedding. This will reduce the chance that it becomes stained or wrinkled. If you keep it at the shop until the big day, it will ensure it is in pristine condition when you wear it.
If you have the budget, consider a cruise as the venue for your wedding and just invite those who are dearest to you. This would make the honeymoon begin immediately following the ceremony. There are even packages available for people wanting to marry and honeymoon on the ship.
If the guests are going to enjoy a meal consisting of multiple courses, make sure they are entertained by keeping little candies in a dish at the table in between the serving times of the courses.

Poor planning can easily turn a wedding from a day of rejoicing into a day you want to forget. Hopefully, these tips can help you plan a wedding that will be filled with joy and frees of excess stress.
