It makes me glad that that the most recent wedding I was actually part of/family with, was in 1976, lol! And in the UK. Back then in my country at least, weddings were not expected to be so expensive and elaborate or involve multiple showers and parties and rehearsal dinners etc. Bachelorette or "hen nights" as the UK calls them, were just a case of going to a local pub for a few drinks, rather than a trip to Vegas, lol! We didn't even have showers or rehearsal dinners or anything. There was really nothing much to do except the normal arrangements and bookings.
Weddings today involve so much more than forty years ago, I'm glad not be involved. If it were me getting married again, I would want to keep things super-simple and low-cost, old-school. I'd have maybe ONE bridesmaid, lol! Keeps things manageable!
