And here is the crux of the matter. You do what works for you. We did not use the standard wedding march (I believe funeral march from a certain opera - my memory is now hazy) and used Trumpet Voluntare. We used both our full names and full parents names for the invitations. Both sets of parents helped with the reception and the rehearsal dinner. We didn't have the guys wear tuxes - bought them double breasted suits from a the company that supplied suits for the traveling choral groups at college. Ended up being around $60 I think, per guy and they got to keep the suits. We did things as we felt best. We tried to be considerate of everyone and not ask any one person to do more than the normal that can be expected from the respective roles. I didn't have a bachelorette party but my 1 of bridesmades and my Maid of Honor lived about 8 hours away so it wasn't reasonable to ask for one. We had our own little "pizza" party the night before. Just keep it stress free, delegate, spread the responsibilities out and do what YOU want, even if it means eloping.
