Planning a Wedding
I hardly arranged any sims weddings in the past, but after I started playing nobility, I need to make a minimum of planning in order to have the event needed to at least take a few pictures. So, I tho...

I had to go to sleep last night after listing 27 obvious guests, but before planning their placement in the church or for the gala dinner. All these are from misc noble houses, so I will need to plan their outfits in detail, checking what jewelry and sash regalia all adults have access to. Well, it's a rainy day, good to have a project whenever I take a a break from my job.
@FatTribble23 That sounds delightfully chaotic! :) I stopped planning a lot for the weddings I may play, because the game will often come up with a few surprises anyway, like a guest turning out to be erratic and show up in swimwear, or the hired chef deciding to serve toasts and eggs... I might just invite whoever I can and then have the wedding arch and a photo taken - done. It can be fun observing certain situations, though :)
I totally forgot about the paparazzi - they would be a good feature in a nobility wedding, but then there is the annoying fans who will walk right up to the alter to faint or ask for autographs during the vows. I better remember to turn all fame off while they are in the church.
@permanentrose Thanks, those are great tips! Especially the move in the skilled sim, it will be so time saving!
This upcoming wedding of mine will not be a regular play through wedding party. It will be more like "rigged and imagined" for the pictures. Free will off for all, and I'll merge guests into the main house to control as many as possible. Part of the planning is to group guests and play each group actively for a run through where bits of the final pictures will be taken. I will obviously run through a regular wedding ceremony too, but probably not with this many guests - don't think my game allows more than 8-10 guests, but that is only sims tat they already know. I don't intend to spend days of my sims' lives travelling about just to greet guests to be able to invite them. I hate the lack of logics in this field - would be better if we could invite sims from the family tree, even if they are no longer listed in the relations panel. With both internet and cell phones my sims would obviously know how to reach Aunts, Uncles and Cousins without knocking on their door.
