I’m looking at the budget as I’m trying to see what I’ll need but what is a wedding favor is it a gift and what is given Also do I have to do a reception or can I just take everyone for dinner Honestly i just want something really simple like 7...

So most of my family lives next Provence over from me I’m not sure when I invite them if I am supposed to pay part or all of transportation and hotel stay as the bride and groom do we pay all half or is it for them to pay for

So am newly engaged and have no idea what I’m doing I’d like to look at dressed but I also would like to maybe drop a dress size or two due to covid weight lol before hand so would I look for a dress now or should I wait tell I’ve met my goal size
