We have an overflow room for guest since the wedding hall is to small. In an attempt to include this extra room we are having part of the processional walk through the overflow room. I keep on going back and forth as to how I want them to do this...as far as the direction I mean...( this extra overflow rooms has many entrances - so they have several options) I have toyed around with them going up from behind as in the traditional way and this would be towards the screen that will be up front and then taking a right out the side door at the front...but lately I have been thinking that I would rather do it the other way because of the screen up front and to keep with the general idea of heading towards the main sanctuary. This would mean that the side door at the front would open and the party would come in and go to the main aisle and walk towards the back and thus kind of walking towards the main sanctuary.. rehearsal is in a few days and so I am asking for suggestions so we dont have chaos durning the rehearsal... I was just thinking that the flow would be better having them not walk forwards to nothing ...any thoughts ladies or gentlemen...bring them on... I have an interesting situation trying to work out.

Good question, but I think you can't question why you're invited. Sometimes the stars align a certain way and more people can be included. And maybe your offer reminded them that they would like to make room for you -- and then they were able. Remember, if they didn't want to invite you, they wouldn't! :) Have a great time! Hi there!

He's getting married in two weeks and another common friend has been invited long back, but this friend called me today and said he had some cancellations from relations and so wants to invite friends whom he previously had to edit from his list and would love if i could make it I had commented to his fiance in the past few days on her online comments regarding the wedding and talk to them normally about their upcoming nuptuials and had offered my help too as I am relatively free at work but did not over do it (at least I think not) I m not sure if I should accept as I don't know if the reason is that other friends, closer ones, in our common friend circle are invited and he feels shamed to invite me? Or because I mentioned his wedding a few times, did I just hint at inviting myself? I'm not offended to go at a last minute invite but just want to make sure the reasons as okay in my mind Any advice? Thanks Hi

The person who submitted the question got married last week and she wrote back to me to tell me that all went swimmingly. The "new" invite completely understood and was just thrilled to be invited - even at the last minute. Good luck! (and congrats!!) Glad to help, Alyse!

Since my fiance and I are on a tight budget and had to edit our guest list this will definitely come in handy if we find out anyone cancels and we want to invite a few more friends last minute.
