<human>: Hey reddit! Thanks for reading. I am currently struggling to plan some upcoming events. I have a wedding coming up 10-11-12 (yes we're silly.) Our plan is to just get married at the court with parents there with us to share the moment. I'm okay with not shoveling money into a ceremony, but we would like to have a celebration with family and friends on the following Sunday. This where i get stuck. I am not skilled at all when it comes to planning events and making sure they are fun for all. I am a bit of a dud. My family is very separated. Divorced parents step parents everywhere. Fathers side conservative, Mothers side wild party people, and Mother in law's side laid back. The family as a whole hasn't had a lot of time to get acquainted in general we live at opposite sides of town and they don't get together often at all so this will be a great "first" get together for them all. So opinions on places activities? 

Moving on to our second event, I am due to deliver in February, as well as my SO's college graduation shortly in march. I am being asked by everyone to plan a baby shower. Again no planning fun skills anywhere in this blood. I was thinking the baby shower could be in November, but that's right after the wedding party. The biggest issue besides being overwhelmed with not knowing how to plan and throw a great party is money. I bring in roughly 2k a month with about 1.2k in bills and of course have a lot I need to save and buy for the little one on its way. What tools and resources do you recommend for someone like me? what advice on fun gatherings for all (there shouldn't be any kids involved but i don't want a strip club either :P) that would pertain to all interests. I have talked with a few of my family members for help with planning but they all take off in different directions and being that they aren't very close to each other yet its hard getting them in touch to work together. Any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
