There was a great article on MSN lifestyles this week: “10 Biggest Mistakes Wedding Guests Make.”

Some of these issues had me trembling in my veil: Guests that invite others to your wedding, don’t RSVP at all or showing up late (as in walking down the aisle right behind the bride). But some on the list – giving a long toast, requesting a song the bride doesn’t like – serves as a reminder not to turn into a complete Bridezilla. After all, your guests are supposed to be there to help you celebrate, not to watch you celebrate. Let them have a little bit of fun too. And if that means doing the Locomotion, so be it.

But this article also offers ups some good ideas for controlling guests: Mainly sacrificing the best man or maid of honor while you party on and relying on the DJ’s help to cut short that never-ending toast. It’s worth checking out the lifestyles section of MSN. You may be horrified, but at least you’ll be prepared.

Also noteworthy: There’s a wedding expo this Sunday in Springfield, Mass., 10:30 a.m.-4 p.m. at the MassMutual Center. $7 at the door. www.nebridalshow.com for more info.
