my advice...
Hi ladies. I have been thinking about our wedding in such detail ever since (and even during...)
I will admit that I was not the most organized of brides. I was very very very detail oriented and, and it sounds SO cliche, but please please please don't sweat the SMALL details...........
Yes, you need seating cards, yes you need the favors done,so finish that..... (we ended up without programs and without photoshare cards bc I just ran out of time.....)
Other than the MAJOR details, the best thing you can do is make sure you eliminate As much chaos as you can the day of.... Figure out your music NOW. Spend the hour or so NOW (even though you feel like you don't have an hour) Figure out WHAT photos you want NOW.....
And please please please assign someone (the best man, a bridesmaid, someone......) to take care of tipping and paying whoever needs to be tipped or paid... You don't want to be worrying about any of that the day of. Your mind just will NOT work and you won't even know it until later... DH and I keep talking about how overloaded we were that night.... We almost didn't pay the videographer for the extra hour or tip him because we thought we had taken care of everything....
I thought I would have remembered who and what I wanted pics of. I honestly don't even know where the photogs were during the wedding and almost feel guilty about that. I know they were taking pics though bc I see them in all of our non pro-pics and ppl keep saying that they must have gotten a million pics, but still....
Our music got ALL messed up and our last song ended up being our first song AND our last song and we even cut our cake in silence (totally our fault and not the dj's)
We still had an amazing day and I'm so happy that I was as detail oriented as I was. Our flowers and our favors and our jordan almond notes and S cookies and even our table names were AMAZING... And a lot of that was commented on and the music issues weren't even noticed (unless people knew what we were planning).... I mean really, our Best Man and MOH were even announced as 'The NEW MR. & MRS' at first.....
BUT It all worked out, and now we have some funny memories!!!! It was a great day, I just wish we weren't so confused during those stupid parts....
Sorry this ended up being SOOOO long. I had some wine tonight!!!!![]()
