This sounds like such an obvious tip but so many people leave booking their wedding day venue to the very last minute and end up absolutely devastated. So before sending out invites pick a few potential dates and phone the venue immediately, this way if one date is taken you have some others to choose from.

In my opinion this is probably the trickiest of decisions to make and often you find yourself getting into arguments over who is invited and who is not. If you work out the number of people that you are able to cater for, within your budget, from the beginning this will stop arguments brewing and create less hassle later.
