Getting married? Here’s some advice on choosing your wedding party from the book “Where to Seat Aunt Edna and 500 Other Great Wedding Tips” (Hundreds of Heads Books, www.hundredsofheads.com, $13.95), straight from people who’ve done it:
Don’t have a ring bearer or a flower girl who is under three years old unless they are really mature for their age. My wife’s two-year-old niece didn’t want to walk down the aisle, cried, and threw the flowers: she was just too young. We really didn’t have anyone else to ask, but I think we’d have been better off without a flower girl.
– Anonymous, Florence, Ky.; number of wedding guests: 150
The guests my parents invited were people I’d known all my life, and I was glad they were there. I told my parents to invite some of their friends, but I made it clear that it couldn’t be more than 20, and it needed to be people I knew. And, of course, I had the final say.

We’re Jewish and found other ways to honor people: chuppah holders, ketubah signers, and readers. All these components are part of a Jewish ceremony, and they allowed us to include more people.
– Rachel, San Diego, Calif.
There was a fistfight at our reception because we were unaware that there were hard feelings between two people there. They nearly knocked the wedding cake over! It was crazy. You really have to be aware of the different relationships between people who will be at your wedding.

I look at the wedding video and I wonder what the heck I was thinking, letting some of those people share my big day. I don’t even talk to three of them anymore.
