Do I need security at my venue?

Do most venues provide this or do I need to look around? I don't know if I need it, but we have a large group (210) so I wanted to know if that means I need it? Also what is the ratio of security to guests?

I have a budget but I'm unsure how to keep to it?

I have a $10,000 spending limit that I can't go over and if I do I have to push it back a year, how do I keep it under my limit? The wedding is already to far away in time for my liking :(

Is it normal to invite only family to the wedding but open up the registry to anyone?

We only want a small wedding but some of our friends want to get us a gift. It seems rude to still ask them to contribute but would it be a faux pas to post our registry and wedding website link on social media?

What happens at the "sunday brunch"? Am I expected to have one?

My mum said I should have one and open gifts in front of guests, especially for people who have traveled.. I'm not sure about it. Is this a thing that modern couples do?

should the groom have his suit jacket on or off during first dance?

My partner and I were having a chat and we got stumped on whether he should or shouldn't wear his suit jacket during our first dance. If he does will he look really stiff but then if he doesn't will he look less formal? He's not wearing a vest either so it'll just be a tie and white shirt
