Best Wedding Tips for 2013 - Part 2

#8 Toss it: Ask your florist to create a toss bouquet, designed especially for this ritual. It won't cost much and you'll be able to keep the flowers you carried down the aisle to press or preserve.

#12 Staying Organized: As you receive your response cards from guests, store them alphabetized in a recipe card box. Record the guest's address on the back of each RSVP card. When opening your presents, pull each guest's card and write a description of the gift. When you are ready to write thank you notes, you'll have all the information you need in one place.

#18 Destination Dos: If your having a wedding away, send out save the date cards as soon as you know the date and location. This way, guests have ample opportunity to arrange for time off, book flights, and make hotel arrangements.

#3 Guest list logistics: As you assemble your unedited list, ask everyone involved (you, your partner, and both sets of parents) to develop his or her own "wish" list by ranking the names on their rosters from most to least important. After you've determined the realistic number of guests your budget can accommodate, you can ask everyone to simply cut an assigned percentage of names from his or her list, starting from the bottom.

#7 Getting around: One detail you certainly won't want to overlook is how your attendants will get to the wedding and back. A common snafu: On the return trip, couples only arrange for their own transportation, forgetting that the attendants who arrived at the wedding in their limo will need another way to get home.
