Be smart when setting your wedding date. Avoid prime hurricane season (if marrying in the Caribbean) and snowy months (if marrying in a state that gets lots of blizzards) to help minimize the chance of weather-related complications.
Hire your photographer for a limited time—say, from the ceremony until the first dance—rather than for the whole day; many will work for as little as four hours. 
Be sure to weigh your completed invitation before applying postage. You don't want your beautifully engraved envelopes returned to you.

Serve wines from the years you were born or when you met. Share your reasons in a note to guests at each table.
Many catering places—even upscale spots—allow you to bring in your own wine, which can save you big-time, even if there's a corkage fee.

Loosen up your guests by ushering them to a bar or cocktail table before starting the ceremony. It will result in a more laid-back crowd for both the ceremony and the reception.
