So...I was reading posts on the wedding recap board and saw this little tip that just may save my sanity...she had 3 giant rubbermaid bins. "One carried everything I needed to get ready (MARRIAGE LICENSE, veil, garter, shoes, etc.) Another carried all things bar (signature drinks, wine, liquor, cups, mixers). The last box carried everything reception (sign in books, departure items, card box, escort card board, etc.). This saved my life and made things SO easy when my mind went scatterbrained at the last minute." I plan to go and get 4 bins tomorrow! One for ceremony stuff (programs, etc) one for reception stuff, one for getting ready stuff and one for bar stuff! Thought I would share since I have been stressing about how to not forget anything. I am just gonna start loading up bins now!
I have heard so many horror stories about brides forgetting things. A friend of mine had girls pictures/bride only photos taken before her ceremony. She forgot to put on ANY of her jewelry for ALL of these pictures. Really stinks - she had gorgeous family heirlooms that only got put on after all her photos were done. Another friend got to the ceremony site only to realize she had forgotten her grandmother's earrings, had NO earrings on, and had to borrow a pair. YIKES.
Definitely a wonderful idea to have a tupperware of EVERYTHING you need to get ready with - I am stealing that for sure!
