A good place to start is the guest list.

You may need to face up to the reality of having a so-so wedding with everyone and his brother invited, or the wedding you really want with fewer guests. Close friends and family are usually shoo-ins, but do you really need to invite all of your dad´s fraternity brothers from varsity?

Unless your parents are footing the entire bill, try to keep guests to the ´must-haves´.
