I know there have been questions about this before but I can't seem to find what I am looking for when I search the boards so please forgive me for asking again.
I am 5 days out from my wedding and am just wondering what things I need to remember (or conversely, what am I forgetting)?
Our seating chart and place cards are done.
I have a tote that is organized between what is going to the ceremony (marriage license, rings, programs) and the reception (guest book and pens, cake topper, table numbers and place cards, centerpieces, toasting flutes, cake cutter, vases for our bouquets) as well as what needs to go with me (jewelry, garter, perfume, emergency kit, dress and under things are at my parents' house).
Bridal party gifts are wrapped and my thank yous are done.
I am going to the bank tomorrow to put together envelopes with tip money in them so they are all set to go.
What am I forgetting?
Re: What am I forgetting?
Did you give your photographer a list of photos you'd like to have taken so you don't forget anyone? Such as: Bride + Grandparents, Bride Family photo, Groom family photo, Groom + Siblings, etc. Both mine and DH's parents are divorced, so we had a fair number of separate photos with each side.
Do you know what time/day you will be bringing these items to the reception? I.e day before vs. day of?
Have you created yourself a day of timeline? Hair, nails, make up, get dressed, photos, drive to ceremony site. If not, I would write this down somewhere clearly, just so you have something to keep you on track and other people will know where you will be.
Don't forget to eat! (Write that in your time line as well- breakfast and lunch!)
Fortunately by this point, everything should mostly be taken care of. I don't think you have missed anything. Enjoy
Those are really good ideas. It's that kind of stuff that never would have crossed my mind. Thank you!!!!!
That panda was the first (of very many) that my DH gave me when we were dating, and I went out and got him the little tux at Build-a-Bear just for the occasion. He is actually in a bunch of my pictures- I have pictures of everyone holding him while getting their hair done and my photographer got him in a bunch of pictures with my dress and stuff.
