there are some good resources on the microsoft website under the templates - thinks like planners, to do lists.
We had funky tree branches made out of wire for our centrepieces that belonged to a friend of ours, we had candles in glasses (like the jam jar glasses & used church style candles). But then again we had a REALLY simple wedding in my brother's back yard with the reception upstairs in the family lounge/dining room & on the verandah.
We didn't have seating allocations, just table allocations & left people to sit with who they wanted, in saying that all our friends were on a huge L shaped table that sat 40, other than the bridal table - we only had 2 parent tables & 1 table for my work mates because we couldn't fit them on the friend table.
Invites were sent out in early Sept, RSVPs for mid Oct (I specifically asked for written/emailed replies, but a few just told me they'd be there when they saw me at my brother's 60th birthday & 30th wedding anniversary party in Sept) and the wedding on 13 Nov. I still ended up ringing a few of them 2 weeks before the wedding to check if they were coming, I ended up having 2 x-friends who RSVPd and never bothered showing up on the day - hence the fact they're x-friends now.
ETA - do the thank yous the same time as the invites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It saves you time after the wedding. I made all our invites & did the thank you cards at the same time with space to write what they gave us & for DH & I to sign.
