Things Brides Forgot

With one more day to go, can someone please post the list of things to remember on the wedding day? I can't seem to find the list anywhere

Re: Things Brides Forgot

Make sure you eat! !!!!!

Re: Things Brides Forgot

Let your bridal atendant know that you want to see the reception room before they let everyone in there.

Have a few moments alone with DH

If you put your Bo-k down during the ceremony, don't forget it when you walk back up the aisle.

Designate a bridesmaid for make up duty (powder and lipstick especially)

Do your vendor tips BEFORE the wedding and SEAL them- if you want to tip more due to their great service give your Best Man extra cash to carry for that and have your him give out accordingly

Make a list of all your vendors names and emergency contact numbers (carry one copy, give one to your FH and one to your BM.)

Put a family member or long time friend in charge of the 'must take' picture list. Give a copy to the photographer or assistant, DOC and to your friend/family in charge.

Pay as much as you feel comfortable paying to vendors in advance. You do not want to have to carry or have someone else carry thousands of dollars in cash with you the day of.

Make sure to eat something for breakfast or lunch. You will be running around the entire day and will need some food to keep you going. A hungry bride is a cranky bride.

Make sure your hall packs you food to take home. You will enjoy it more when you're alone

If you have hired transportation, make sure someone is in charge of who's to be in what limo or trolley. Also, make sure the drivers have a name of those people or you risk them getting left behind.

The day of the wedding, give someone your schedules, timelines, all vendor schedules and contact numbers, but also keep a copy for yourself.

Ask someone to watch your card box or remove it completely from the reception.

If you have a bustle, make sure all of the corresponding hooks/ribbons are there before you leave the seamstress. And, if possible, depending on the type of bustle, have your seamstress number the ribbons so you know what number goes to which ribbon.

Make sure you have something old, new, blue, etc

Create a “wedding box” to gather your ceremony accessories (marriage license, candles, ring pillow, basket, guest book) and assign someone to transport.

Prepare day-of emergency kit

Place tips for each vendor in envelopes

Re: Things Brides Forgot

Make sure your officiant tells guests to turn off thier cell phones

Re: Things Brides Forgot

Re: Things Brides Forgot

Make sure you take time to enjoy yourself!

Congratulations!

9-9... that's my parents' anniversary!!!!!!!

Re: Things Brides Forgot

Slippers or other comfy shoes to change into. I bought slippers and forgot them at my apartment the day of. My feet were killing me towards the end of the night.

Re: Things Brides Forgot

Superkat,
That's an awesome list that you compiled there!

Re: Things Brides Forgot

I'm so mad at myself that I never bougt flats!

Re: Things Brides Forgot

I forgot my slip.


I also forgot to STFU the 2 days before and thus, on my wedding day, i had NO voice! I was so excited and gabbing it up with my MOH and other friends and relatives in from OOT that I talked my voice away! I drank as much warm tea as I could and tried to refrain from talking that morning so that I might have a voice for the vows....I barely had one and it disappeared before the ceremony was finished...people in the back could not hear me at all!

Re: Things Brides Forgot

I need to print this one out. Such great things to remember and I will forget all of them.

Not quite funny. I had forgotten to eat breakfast.

The hall find me some pancakes and bagel (way too much!!!!) but they were great. It was only 9am in the morning and their bakery delivery truck had not come yet with the fresh food.

My photographer called me a good 5 times before the wedding...and no matter what the purpose of his call, he always through that in...to eat and drink something or else. When we arrived at the hall, he walked up and said: did you eat breakfast? I had.
