More wedding planning

I'd really like to involve lots of our friends in the wedding, rather than inviting people to a staged show where they would be the audience. Obviously there are arguments for and against doing it this way. I am pretty sure I'm not going to turn into Bridezilla, but I'm sure everyone thinks that, and I'm open to the argument that it would put too much strain on friendships and it's better to just pay professionals to do everything.

So here comes a poll. I'm mainly just canvassing opinion at this point, so don't feel you're committing yourself to anything. Obviously we don't even know who is going to be able to come at this stage!

( thoughts? )

I haven't put any textboxes in for you to specify which parts you'd most like to do, if you do want to help out. But I think that's probably better for the comments, along with pedantry about why my poll is wrong and ambiguously phrased and I'm an insensitive clod. I should add that all your advice about ceremonies and rings and clothes and everything else has been very much appreciated so far; you are collectively wonderful already, so don't at all feel you have to do more!
