Thanx but I need questions for my final meeting.
well most of it is going over the menu, they will show you your choices and you pick. They will ask alot of questions such as the names of all your vendors, how many speeches, which dances you are doing, when you want to cut the cake. What items you will drop off before the wedding such as cardbox, favors, flutes and all those type of stuff, they will ask what is on your tables.
The questions you ask really are about things you specifically need to know. For example i had to ask for table dimensions for table runners i am making. I also asked about making a certain drink for CH.
Dont know where youre taking pics but if you plan to take any at the Rh you can ask how far in advance you can get there to do this.

Re: Final Meeting... Questions for the RH?
I posted this for another bride earlier today. This is the list I have going right now, but I keep adding to it. We're going to meet with our RH this Thursday.
Vendor Meals Kids meals Display of cake/cake table decorations Place card table details Cocktail tables decorated? What do table #s look like? When do we need to drop everything off? What time can we get in to start getting ready that morning? How’s the room set up? Can it be changed?

when you go they will give you a sheet with how your room is set up, youre going to have to take it and fill it out with the number of guests per table and favors. So you will see how they have the tables and everything set up
dropping things off is the week of, up to a few days before
as far as placecards, they give you theirs if you need it but flowers and stuff like that your florist provides it
