Three days to go....

I'm not super stressed. Two guests are arriving tonight. This morning I dropped off the OOT bags at the hotels. Family arrives tomorrow....

Biggest issue is with the programs and one of our groomsmen. I just heard yesterday his father is very sick. He has been in Boone, NC with his father since Wednesday. The doctors think it is liver failure. I told his wife to focus on the family and not worry about the wedding. She is going to keep us informed.

So my question - Do I print the programs listing the original groomsmen? Do I wait until the last second to print in case we go with our backup? Again, my stress is small compared to their families.

    Print the programs with all groomsmen listed. It is OK if he can't come, at least you will have included him on the program to note his importance to you.  Go ahead and do these now so you won't be stressing about them at the last minute.  Hope that everything goes okay!

    I agree with Meredith.  You don't want to wait to the last minute to do something.  I say just print them.  Even if he isn't there, at least he will know that he was important.

    I would definitely do them now. With my luck, I would wait until the last minute and the printer would break or something haha

    Yay, three days! So exciting! That's so sad about your groomsman, but yes, I agree with everyone- print now, and include him- that way if he's not there he's still included in some way.

    Good luck!

    I left the program as is. I've done two different versions - one with a crossworld puzzle - one with a word find. I don't think I will have time to create a third version.

    Still waiting to hear from the groomsmen. They were supposed to find out the results of the biopsy yesterday.

    I say print, and that I am sorry to hear that his father is going through a hard time.

    Have fun and enjoy your big day! :)

    you can always put in one of those inserts like they do for plays and broadway shows saying that so-and-so is performing the part of so-and-so.  haha. 

    HAVE FUN!  So exciting that it's three days away.  I'm jealous!

    Elizabeth, we had a pretty quick engagement. Only seven months...so I need every last second to prepare. I don't think my house will sparkle like new. Instead, I'm going to be stashing stuff in closets before my family arrives.

    The programs turned out great.

    Here was my original inspiration - http://dellastella.blogspot.com/2009/02/wedding-diy-recap-fan-programs-with.html
