Is this normal?

How many boxes of wedding stuff are you bringing to the wedding? Holy moly. I don't know how I am going to be good about letting go and letting someone else finish my vision. Also, isn't hard to plan out where every little item and table should go? I think I'm going crazy!

Do you think a memory candle can go on a table with other decor and pictures or is that weird? Where is a good space for the candle?

    i was nervous, but i trusted my DOC to do a good job, and they did amazing... but of course they couldn't do it without my bridezilla detailed instructions! i drew out the tables, and which centerpieces go where...diagrams of where the cake, plates, silverware, toasting glasses go..etc. just draw it all out.

    i gave my DOC's about 3 or 4 small boxes of stuff (plus a few totes of chair covers) the day before, i dropped off one or two boxes at my reception site for them to deal with. the day of, i only brought my precious babies (swarovski toasting glasses), other than my clothes, makeup, etc....

    Geez, I can't even TELL you how many frickin' boxes we're going to have! Of course, we're DIYing the majority of stuff, but geez, it's like a truck full, I swear!

    Ooooohhhhh, yeah, we're gonna have craptons.  But like PP said, I am trusting my DOC to do a great job (I have total confidence in her), and I am going to take pictures and have drawings of how I want everything.  I am learning to let go a lot though.  I think that's mostly because at this point I don't care anymore & just want to get it over with!

    I had a ridiculous amount of boxes to bring over to the venue! It was crazy.

    I think the memory candle with the photos sounds very nice.

    argh!! at least you guys doing have to hop a plane. I have no idea what im going to do.  I think I will have to do most of my projects the week of. 

    Definately enlist friends and family to help transport the day before if you can.

    We had a lot of stuff too.

    And I agree with Jennilin- write everything down!  You can't just expect people to understand when you tell them. I told 3 people what I wanted done on two tasks... and they didn't get done. And on 5 other tasks they were done "wrong" - not to my vision. So my big advice is write things down and have pictures. Because I can tell 20 people to think of a boquet of flowers and everyone will have a different mental flower boquet from mine.

    And I think the memory candle on the table with other pictures is a nice touch. They will get looked at- not overlooked.

    Tell me about it!  we've got boxes everywhere in our tiny apartment.  I'm loving our reception site since they are lettng us bring our crap in the entire week before the wedding, which will be less stressful for us.
