Did you forget anything on your wedding day?

yotagirl67 · September 2009

So I have 19 days to go and I am making lists of thing to and timelines for the big day. Is there anything that you forgot to bring along or do before the wedding? I am trying to make sure I don't forget anything!

Two of my married friends both had grooms that forgot their socks. Maybe pack some extras!

My mom forgot her slip. My grandmother had to call up the nearest shop to ask if they had one, pay for it over the phone, and raced over there to get it for her in time.

I forgot my earrings and garter. I had my grandmother's hankie, but forgot to walk down the aisle with it (it was in my bridal purse with my Aunt).Those were minor things, but I was a little down about forgetting the hankie.

We forgot to hand out the bubbles....but no one missed them - including us....after the wedding we donated them to our friends school.....

At the reception itself, I meant to save my escort card and my menu card (both of which we made ourselves). I forgot and they got tossed out by my venue. Not a big deal as I have pictures, but it would have taken 5 seconds to toss them in my purse.

Somehow almost all of the groomsmen and my dad forgot to bring black socks. There are a couple of shots where the whites got caught but it was no big deal. I have an emergency kit list in my bio if you're interested

What helped me to not forget my own items was to have a pad of paper and pencil ready in my purse so that whenever something struck me that I didn't want to forget on the day, I'd write it down and when I got home I added it to my master packing list. Then on the night before I was able to pack everything up using my master list and nothing got left behind on my part. But, I'm a medical student and a little type A, so that might explain it. Make sure you don't forget your vendor tips! That's something my friend forgot on her day.

I bought a really cute paper parasol to take bridal pictures with and I forgot it

. I also forgot the backdrop our photographers needed for our photobooth, but luckily they had an extra in their car. I really think thats it though!

I forgot to put on my lipstick, and didn't bring it with me. I realized on the way to the church, and my mom kept asking if we wanted to stop somewhere to get some. This was cute because its not like I can just pic out a lipstick that looks good (I have a hit rate of 1 in 50 with lipsticks).Anyway, you will forget something, and it will be totally fine. just a story to tell at the end of the day.

We forgot to pour the Prosecco for the cake cutting toast. We made an on the fly decision to move our "Wedding March" dance ahead of cake cutting to take advantage of a sunny break in the clouds. When we got back undercover, it had started to sprinkle, so we leaped into the cake cutting without giving the catering staff a head's up and adequate time to pour. It so totally didn't matter. We have a case of leftover bubbly and the toast was still marvelous!

What I forgot was kind of major - the marriage license and my husband's wedding band. We were just in the limo at my house so luckily it wasn't a big deal. Other than that, I just forgot to put on perfume.

I forgot to get a dance with my brother--well not really forgot, but all of the sudden the night was over. Its really my only regret about my wedding/reception.

My reception forgot to put out cake plates and no one noticed until our cake cutters asked me what they were suppose to put the cake on. LOL No one noticed and I was glad the plates weren't in any of the photos anyhow... the staff quickly brought out 4 huge stacks of plates for everyone. Most of the centerpiece candles weren't lit so I have a TON left over:)I didn't cry during the ceremony but was prepared with a tissue, but did not have a tissue when my dad gave his speech- he wrote a poem to me. Everyone was crying, especially me, and I didn't have a tissue then. Right after that, it was time to bow our heads for prayer and everyone at the head table was sniffing like we had colds-then giggled because of it. My friend who said the prayer thought we were laughing at her- even after we explained the situation I still felt horrible! Be prepared with tissues at all times... you never know when someone will spark an emotion:)

Everyone - us, wedding party and pastor - forgot to sign the marriage license. We have to take it by his house after the honeymoon! I forgot my earrings, but my husband brought them to me. We also forgot to have anyone pick up the beer from the liquor store and put it out for the reception. After everyone had their food my dad realized there was no beer! Luckily the liquor store was across the street, so it only took about 15 minutes to fix that.

We forgot our toasting flutes- they were beautiful and I loved them but didn't get to use 'em. But the day of I didn't mind. In fact, I ended up just drinking beer anyway!

I forgot a watch! There was no clock in the nursery where I got dressed, and after being scolded to 'stay put, you're in your wedding gown!' I paced and waited, afraid to sit and wrinkle the dress. The wedding was at four, and I assumed that someone would come get me when they were ready. The room was pretty soundproof, so I couldn't hear the music. FINALLY the pastor poked his head in and hesitantly asked if I was ready yet. I was really quite surprised, as my mother and the other women KNEW I was ready when they left the room. The 'forgotten watch' bit haunted us the entire honeymoon, as we were on a cruise in the Caribbean and never had any idea of what time it was when we were on shore! (or in the room, for that matter - the only clock was a TINY tiny one on the phone, and in military time!) We didn't want to spend the amount they were asking for watches in the stores and never even found a cheap drugstore that might have sold cheapy digital ones. We didn't use our cell phones because of the long distance fees and kept them turned off to save the battery.

I forgot to save one of our personalized napkins. Sounds silly, but I really wanted one to put in a scrapbook!

I forgot perfume & my eyelashes...oh well! By the time you are walking down the aisle, all you can think about is your hunky groom waiting to be your husband!
