Re: Final meeting with RH questions
I had them walk me around and describe where everything would be, I saw the place card table/cake table to get a sense of dimensions.
Ask where the 'early arrivals' will go, will they have someplace to have drinks until CH? Ensure which is your bridal suite, be clear on who your vendors are...I can't remember what else.
It's like a big blur. Mostly, it was about the menu and linens. SO EXCITED!!!!

No idea lol. My BM called me last week and asked me when can i come in and i told him after 7pm and he scheduled me for this Wednesday. At my RH it's only one guy who does the finalization so maybe that's why.

Make sure you ask where you can set up the candy buffet and let them know when you want it available for guests

Re: Final meeting with RH questions
I came up with these
What time can we come to drop off stuff the night before?
Can we take the extra cake home?
If some guests don't come even though we had put them down can we take their plates to go?

Oh! Also, find out what other events are there that same night and what the start and finish times are....just good to know as far as congestion at the doors.
I found out my event ended last (an hour after the other wedding) so we will set up our cupcakes/cookie table outside of our room so our guests can mill around and say their goodbyes in the lobby.

I found out that there is a wedding before ours. We thought we could get to the RH much earlier then we actually can. They said I have to call them when approaching to make sure that we don't run into the other bride and groom. Def ask that!
