Instead of spending a lot of money to get a huge cake for your wedding, think about tiers of sweet, delicious mini-tarts or cupcakes. These arrangements are convenient and affordable. Guests can even take a cupcake home.

To make it easier for them to find good dining, a local restaurant guide is certainly helpful.
When making table assignments for your reception, ensure that even numbers of guests will be at each table. Try grouping tables by age groups so that they can talk about similar things.
