What logistics should I consider for a seated bridal party?

When I stood in my brother’s bridal party I just kept wishing I could see around the maid of honor’s head and I thought “Man, being honored is great and all but I’ve got the worst seat in the house.” Plus, some of our shyer friends might feel more comfortable sitting instead of standing as a part of the show.

I can’t seem to find anything around Offbeat Bride about others with a bridal parted seated around them so I’m wondering how often it’s done and if there are any logistics I should consider.

How do you fight wedding decision fatigue?

While trying to organize everything for our wedding, I feel so overwhelmed with options that I have become very indecisive about things.

How did you come to a decision on anything from theme, color-way, dress, guest gifts, etc.? Was it hard after to not compare it to other options? How often did you change your mind before coming to final decision?
