Have friends and family members host a luncheon or backyard BBQ at their homes. Give people a chance to relax and connect. Have a hospitality suite at the hotel you have blocked off for out of town guests and have neighbors and friends restock it with brunch and snack items from 7AM-10 PM during the wedding weekend. Don't go overboard planning sightseeing tours; you will run your guests ragged and it simply won't be a relaxing experience for anyone in addition to being yet one more detail you have to plan.

A wine tasting sounds like a nice outing -- why not make this part of your rehearsal dinner or bachelorette party?

Don't worry about entertaining the world during down-time-- recommend some local sites, but allow yourself a chance to relax and your guests the chance to just enjoy the weekend and relax, too. A rigid schedule only stresses everyone out and just gives you an unnecessary chore to plan and an added expense to add to the tally.
