Only 16 days left, what am I forgetting

We still have to:

finish vows
wrap favors
programs (undecided on doing these but probably will)
finish my rose petal cones
final fitting
pick up my band in 2 days!!! FH's came in earlier than mine
trim hair (10/25)
waxing (10/28)
find something old and borrowed (I've asked mom and MOH to help)
write out and fill tip envelopes
finalize music (but my best friend from junior high is my pianist, we works for the Met and is AWESOME)
pack for trip
get marriage license as soon as we arrive in NY state
pick up tuxedos on 10/30

I honestly think that's it!
Can't wait

Wow that's great!

Don't forget:

bandaids
white chalk for any spots on your dress
safety pins of all sizes
bobby pins for hair
breath mints
hairspray
travel sewing kit

are you going to have a basket in the ladies room for toiletries?

Good luck!

Same as Maribelle said. I call it the emergency kit. Also, a pair of slippers for later on in the night in case your feet get tired, an extra pair of hosiery, directions for all your vendors to the appropriate locations (keep a copy for yourself and supply one to somebody as well)

Do you have a great indoor place for pictures in case it rains??? That was my biggest mistake, and it rained.

Bring bottled water. You won't believe how thirsty nerves can make you, and the limo usually only has alcohol and soda.

Tell your hall that you want to wrap up some of the cocktail hour food. That way you can have a little mini-feast with your DH back in your room later that night.

Give a list of 'must get' shots to your photographer! Very important if you want to be happy with your pictures.

Enjoy the day! Don't let anybody rush you. Take your time with things and if you're running late... SO WHAT. Expect the unexpected and let it slide. Refuse to let anything upset you that day. Have fun and congratulations!!!
