When inviting guests to your wedding is there a proper way to say no children?

Who is supposed to receive the RSVPs for a wedding?
Whoever is issuing the invitation--most usually the bride or her family--receives the RSVP. There are two schools of thought on RSVPs, since there will be a number of people who come who have not RSVP'd and vice versa. If it is not a large number and you are providing a meal, it may be best to give them a call to verify. Or, take the chance that the numbers will cancel each other out and you will not have paid for too many meals.
What is the place called where groom and bride exchange vows in a church?

How to Decline a request to be a maid of honor?
- It is a great honor to be asked to be Maid of Honor so the decline should be a good one such as: lack of funds if you are expected to pay for your dress and shoes and extras; illness in the family such as a parent; traveling too far; no time off work for the event; etc. You should phone the Bride and not email them or send them a note as that is too impersonal. Phone the bride with your excuse as to why you have to decline, but be sure and tell her you were honored she chose you. If there is a good excuse such as looking after a sick parent, etc., then tell the bride you will make every effort to at least be at the church or miss the church and be at the wedding reception. If this is not possible then hopefully the bride will understand.
How do you convince your friend to be in your wedding because she detests formal gatherings?
- Although disappointing it sounds like your friend doesn't like being the center of attention and prefers to stay in the background and you should comply to her wishes and ask one of your other friends. Simply tell her you understand and you will be asking one of your other friends; then wait a week to 10 days and see if she changes her mind. If she doesn't then ask your other friend.
How much money can you give as a gift in 2010 to your son?
You can give as much as you like ... as long as you pay the gift tax on any amount over $13,000.
If you gave more than that to any one person, you would have to pay a "gift tax" of 35% on the amount exceeding $13,000. (The $13,000 "resets" for each recipient, though, so if you have two sons, you can give each of them $13,000 before you'd be required to pay the tax). Also, the $13,000 is per person making the gift as well, so you can give $13,000 to your son and your spouse, assuming you have one, can also give $13,000 to your son.)
You should really see a tax professional about this, because there's a lifetime credit that can be applied (so you may not wind up paying the tax after all) and it can get fairly confusing in terms of what you're required to report, what forms you need to file, and how to do all the calculations.

Which side of her father should the bride be on?
The father typically stands on the right side of the bride. This is just custom and not necessarily a rule.
How much should you pay your wedding musicians?
According to The Wedding Report (focused on statistics in the Wedding Industry), wedding couples in 2008 paid anywhere from $245 to $847 for wedding musicians. I don't know whether this includes JUST the ceremony and reception or everything thrown in, like the cocktail hour, dancing etc. In Cincinnati, the 'going rate' for a wedding pianist to play at your ceremony is anywhere from $150 to $280.
Make sure this includes the pianist's attendance at your wedding rehearsal! Extras probably include asking the pianist to accompany for a vocal/instrumental artist at your wedding; or staying later to play for the reception or cocktail hour.
Hope this helps!

How different were Elizabethan wedding dresses than wedding dresses today?
Extremely different, as fashion and undergarments then were different. It also greatly depended on your station in life as to what you were wearing, as even the fabric told a great deal about you. Firstly, Elizabethan gowns were not white, but were generally your best dress. Most Elizabethan dresses consisted of bloomers, a chemise, farthingale, and a corset. On top of these would be the petticoat, the underskirt (the decorated front panel), the over skirt, a bodice and sleeves. Sleeves and underskirts were decorated and interchangeable.
