Wedding paper notes
- Prizes for bridal shower games: how many, and what to spend
How many prizes to buy for bridal shower games, three spend bands from published host guidance, and how to set the table so winners can choose.

- How to make a wedding seating chart

Name who can pay, cap the guest list, then check that total against published US averages before you split categories.
