Re: 3 days to go...what am I forgetting?

What about a coin in your shoe? (Or taped to the bottom of it). The poem goes

Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue
and a silver sixpence in her shoe

Something old symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past.

Something new symbolizes optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead.

Something borrowed is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family.

Something blue symbolizes love, modesty and fidelity.

“A silver sixpence” in the bride's shoe represents wealth and financial security.

Just a suggestion regarding the breath spray, not sure if you are a fan but the listerine breath strips work awesome. They are very discreet. I don't normally use them but I picked them up for a wedding I was in on Friday. It was great cuz I slipped the little pack into my bra. I had fresh breath available all evening.

Re: 3 days to go...what am I forgetting?

make sure your got tips for the rest of your vendors laid out and make sure you give instructions to your BM or whomever will be giving them out or holding on to them. Our BM never gave our limo driver the tip and it was a pain to get to him after the fact.

are you leaving your pew bows or flowers at your church? if not, make sure you designate someone to grab them after the ceremony.

are you giving out favors? make sure those are ready to go to give to the RH staff with instructions on where to put them.

looks like you've got pretty much everything covered though!

you're going to be fine and everything will be WONDERFUL!

I was not stressing out until just about an hour ago. My Future in laws are creating a bit of stress for me, but I will be OK. I am just on the 'go, go, go' mode. I think FH is starting to feel it now as well.
