2. Schedule. It's best to schedule the party six to eight weeks before the wedding. Since most brides today are employed, she needs to be included in the planning of the date and time.

3. Guest list.  Other than family members, friends, colleagues, or relatives can also be invited.  You don' t have to invite a lot of people since a large group has the tendency to split into smaller groups.
