EDF Wedding Planner Guide

[DosXX]

Hey all,

I'm getting married summer (looks like June 20/21) 2009. We just started researching venues and making a preliminary guest list. I think it would be awesome to get some general wedding planning advice going. My own situation is we are young and are trying to stay around 12K, no more than 15K. Inviting ~100, expect ~80-85 at this point. Beach wedding in SoCal.

What does everyone think about Sunday weddings. Its cheaper for the venues (and maybe the vendors?), but I really want to throw a big kickoff bash and don't want a lame reception either.

So lets get this ball started.
