The 10 Commandments 
of Elegant Wedding Planning

Commandment Eight & Nine

Commandment Eight
Don't forget the step-parents, include everyone. In the U.S. today, the blended family has replaced the traditional family. For that reason, most of us have step-parents and step-families and all the joy, or problems, that may go along with them. 

Weddings are a time of happiness, family togetherness and inclusion. No matter what kind of relationship you have with your step-parents and/or step-families, it's time to put your personal feelings aside. Don't take any actions which could hurt a family member (and step-parents are members of your family). Don't make plans, for example, that include certain immediate family members and exclude others. At a wedding, everyone is equal. Be sure that all parents (and grandparents) are represented in some way, even a corsage or boutonniere will do. You'll be glad you did. 

Commandment Nine
Apply common courtesy to every aspect of planning your wedding. Always put yourself in the other person's shoes. 

Let me give you an example. If you were invited to a dinner party and you were seated across the room from your husband, how happy would you be? Not very. So why do brides and grooms insist on seating their bridal-party members at their table, without their dates and/or spouses? The result is an empty bridal table, whose members are busy visiting their companions, who are seated elsewhere. It's only common courtesy to seat people with their dates and/or spouses, with people who will make them feel happy and relaxed.
