So now I am obsessed with details. I'm thinking cocktail napkins, programs, and menus. Are there any other details I'm overlooking? I know no one cares but us but I care!
you could order some boy-band buttons and give em to the bridesmaids.

well we could geek out over the whole thing but are you thinking there's something specific you're missing? I mean swizzle sticks and personalized toothpicks, matchbooks, there's a fistful of stuff I can think of but it's not that I dont' care, it's that how much money do you feel like you have to spend on something they'll wind up throwing away? whatcha think kiddo, you talking about chair covers or....? miyah called us google warriors lol, give us a category, we'll find anything.
Lol I'm thinking that there is something I'm missing, I got the big stuff like chairs and such but I forgot about cockatail napkins until someone brought them up, stuff like that
I'd vote that it depends on how deep you want to go. I sort of remember the cocktail napkin discussion and would agree with one of the posters, it does make a nice touch. It just isn't something I'd throw loot at because literally, at the end of the day, that's going in the garbage, when I could've given that 70 bux to a vendor for a tip. OR used it to give my guests a pouch full o' parking meter quarters but I'm personalizing. Go over each category in your head and see if it looks like you want it to. happy to hear to you think out loud in the meantime tho.

<div>Excellent list! In addition to this, I have sparklers on my list. </div>
There are so many things. How about a welcome sign to the ceremony and reception. They have nice ones on etsy: our hobby to your home. Or you can semi design your own at vistaprint.
Don't forget about gifts for those in wedding party including minister...as a token of appreciation.
You can include Mr/Mrs signs on your sweetheart table if you are doing that type of setup. It's just so much you can do...
