packing list for day of...

AngB1230 · July 2012

i started this list and so many things popped in my head then i went blank...i will be staying in a hotel the night before maybe we can all share our lists of things we need to pack in case one of us forgets something?

I love this idea! I seriously cannot pack without a list even if it's for a weekend. I'm nervous because I need to pack for the RD, wedding AND the honeymoon all at once. We're leaving for our honeymoon the morning after our wedding from the hotel. I feel like I'm going to forget something. I need to start my list!

I can give most reception-y things to our caterer a week out so I'm TOTALLY doing that. We're also going to store the marraige license at the church the day before.

Ooo! Something I thought of! Bring a stamped envelope to make sure you can mail the marraige license in once the 'deed' is done.

Right now my list goes something like this:

Dress

Veil

Steamer (mostly for my veil- it's a travel sized one. the steamer that is. veil is cathedral.)

Shoes

Accessories for le dress including designated bra/undies

Button Down Shirt (for getting my hair did)

Nice Robe (so I'm not nakey in my getting ready pics)

Toiletries

Makeup

Jeans, Sundress, Comfy shorts (want to be prepared for all eventualities

My little camera

Cellphone/Charger

Cash/Wallet

Wedding binder with all contracts, contact #'s and timelines incl extra copies of EVERYTHING: ie must shoot photos, seating chart in case it gets lost, timeline, etc.

Toothbrush, Spare Toothbrush and extra mouthwash/floss (Clean teeth are essential!!)

Thank you notes (I just seem to write a LOT).

Flip Flops

My emergency bridesmaid kit that I've souped up- (includes sewing kit, chalk, stain removers, safety pins, bobby pins, clear hair ties, antacids, pain relievers, tummy remedies, saltines, about 3 feet of duct tape wound onto a wine cork for portability, super glue, nail file, etc. in my basic and I will ad to it I'm sure.) It's been used and lent out many times.

To Be Continued

Delegation stuff: Best man has the tips, Groom has the rings, FFIL has lots of organizational stuff and the spreadsheets to go with who's in the formal pics so it moves along (taking advantage of his engineer's obsesively orderly and logical mind.) Gift to groom is pre-left in our apartment where groom gets ready, gifts to BP will be given at RD. Everything else will be already handed off prior to that.
