13 answersHaving a wedding on a weekday
We are having a Jewish wedding and as such are very limited to the days that we can hold the ceremony. I really don't like having it on a Sunday night so was planning to do it on the day before Australia Day so that everyone has the next day off. However, as the wedding will take place on a workday, how early is too eary to ask people to attend? P.S. sorry the category is so arbitrary. Had to just choose the least unrelated ??

10 answersShould we have a band for background music and 1hr of "dancing"
We're having a cocktail reception that is shorter than most receptions so there's only about 1 hour for "dancing and mingling" We're tossing up if a band is worth the cost if they are background music most of the evening.

11 answersHow do you deal with significantly less RSVPs than expected?
I have just booked into a venue where we pay a minimum amount for 120 people, however, going over the guest list again I am feeling pessimistic and concerned we will get a lot of no's from out of state guests. Should I go back to the venue to see if it's possible to negotiate paying for a lower minimum, or stick it out?
