Only 4 days to go...any advice??

We are getting married in 4 days! I am overwhelmed and want to make sure we did everything.

All vendors are confirmed
Timeline is set
Stuff is at Venue with instructions
Ex: Unity Candle
Ketubah
Favors
Seating cards
cake knife & server
wedding rice & basket
table cameras


Envelopes are made and marked for everyone we still owe $$ to


Any other advice?
Any wedding day emergency kits?

Thanks in advance...

You seem to have everything under control. I don't know if you have this already, but make a bag/basket of stuff to keep in the bridal suite: white chalk- in case anything gets on your gown, Tylenol, hairspray, 2 changes of stockings, deodorant, needle and thread, bobby/hair pins, bottled water. Also, remember that once the day comes, there's nothing else you can/should do but sit back and enjoy all of your hard work. Let your parents or maitre'd sweat the small stuff. Good luck!

Hey!

It seems to me as though you have everything under control..... I know it's overwhelming, but now that you have everything done, I hope you can sit back and relax now and just be excited about the day. I know I was such a nervous wreck that the night before I could barely even talk to Howie because I felt so sick. Don't let that happen to you!

The one thing I can think of is in regards to the honeymoon. I don't remember when you said you are leaving, but I would assume it might be the next day or even the day after that? I would have just about everything ready and packed for that, as you are not going to want to do that once the wedding is over.... you are going to want to reminisce about the day, look at pics people are going to be sending you online and opening the gifts. So I would have all the honeymoon stuff ready to go so you can just enjoy being married once the wedding is over.

It really is going to be the best day of your life, so please don't stress about the little things that can go wrong. I'm sure you are going to have a beautiful day and we are looking forward to it. If you need anything, any help, any last minute things you forgot, etc.... just let us know. See you soon and take the time now to just do the countdown and be excited!!!!!

Ooh, I like the chalk idea! Also, mouthwash or breath mints and clear nail polish (in case somebody gets a run in their stockings and there's no replacement pair). Congrats to you and good luck!!!
