What did you forget?

odonnellj · October 2010

So my wedding is less than 2 weeks away, I can not believe it! My question to everyone is...what did you forget, and what should I be doing? I have started my to-do list but I feel like I am forgetting something. Thanks for your help!

I forgot... wow. Day of, I forgot the pew bows and boas for the girls reception. Not a biggie, I had an aunt still at the hotel get them.

The big oops was DH and me. We forgot to bring clothes to the hotel for the day after the wedding. I didn't even have undies or a bra. I left wearing his boxers and shirt that he had worn to get ready. Funny now, not so much at the time.

Good luck!!

I put together a special little kit whenever I am in a wedding! Things to include: extra pantyhose, advil, clear nail polish, bandaids, saftypin (or 2), a Nutragrain bar, breathmints, eye drops, tissues and hairspray! And anything else someone might need!

don't forget drivers license, keys to the house a little extra cash. think through where your cars will be and when. and what clothing you will need and when. little things - i got ready at home and left the hanger and bag for my dress there. took off the dress at the hotel and needed to get it home (would have been nice to have hanger and bag).

i forgot my copies of the readings. When I got to the ceremony - they couldnt find them. Luckily I had a friend who was still home and he printed and brought them to me.

Um lets see, we forgot our cake topper, pens for the guest book, our Thank you sign to take pictures with and I think thats about it lol. I made my DH make a Thank you sign and then we forgot to take it with us for pictures, oops!

We forgot to take our Thank You picture! Thought about it early on during the day, but by the end of the night, it slipped our minds. Oh well! Also forgot some of our stuff for our overnight bag...nothing major, but hairbrush and toothbrushes got left out.

bring binder clips and safety pins if your bustle breaks. binder clips worked wonders!

if you are giving our thank yous and tips to any of your vendors dont forget to write out the cards and have cash. i scrambled at the last minute the morning of the wedding to get my dad to the ATM for cash and then had to find time to sit down and write out a bunch of thank yous for our dj, catering staff and DOC. i wish i would have thought about it in advance!

LOL...everything for the ceremony! Granted we had mass drama the night before (long story, had to replace a bride's maid at 1:00 am before the wedding, you get the picture). So we forgot: the aisle runner, the two big huge ferns we were going to borrow from a neighbor to put in the church. The plume pen and the formal guest book got taken to the reception site instead of the church (and never resurfaced either). We had our flowers in the vases that were supposed to be in the reception hall on the head table...forgot to take those up there, so the flowers were just laying out on the table. Ah, and batteries for the bubble machine so the bubble machine that I bought brand new never got used (and also dissapeared with the guest book...) Despite all that, I LOVED my wedding. Had a BLAST. A lot of it could have been prevented but there was a ceremony before ours at the church, so everything was rush rush and there was a reception before ours as well, so that made it all rush rush as well. Therefore, if you can avoid that scenario, it will probably prevent a lot of anxiety.
