Probably all your friends are not in a position to offer any help to you.

If you are seeking help from friends be prepared to do without wedding gifts.

Just dont go and ask anyone for help especially people who have no respect for time and are always late. Such people will arrive late for your wedding planning and delay your preparations. Make a fair choice and dont exercise your choice being biased.

Tell them about your plans and know whether they are willing to carry out the tasks according to your will.  

Express your gratitude by writing thank-you notes. They maybe handwritten .
