It's tough to find any missing from your lists -- I've got just 10 days to go, so I'm focused on all the stupid last-minute things:

** Vendor phone numbers (in case there's a last minute issue)

** Extra Stockings (In case yours run)

**Shout Wipes & Chalk (in case you get a stain on your gown)

**Throwaway bouqet if doing the toss (I left my sister's in the limo when I was her MOH -- Boy was she pissed!)

** Matches, napkins, other small favors for the table (My best friend forgot the personalized napkins & matchbooks at home for her wedding.. what a waste!)

** Send readers their readings before wedding -- Plus, print out readings in large font and bring to church (it's a lot easier on the reader)

** Waxing / Tanning / teeth bleaching (get that personal grooming out of the way)

** Comfortable shoes (a lot of brides change into slippers -- but that means the hem of your dress will drag. A friend gave me this tip -- buy platform sneakers the same height as your shoes --> all the comfort w/o dirt on your hem)

** Figure out who'll take the stuff home from the reception hall / who'll drive you to the airport...

** For Pet Owners --> arrange boarding for your pet

**hankie

**Breakfast the day of (something light, that won't get you messy, that you don't have to spend time cooking. My sister got an Egg McMuffin from the drivethrough on the way back from the hairdresser's the morning of her wedding...)

** Any additional decorations

** Shop & pack for honeymoon (My FI had virtually no swim trunks -- it was a nightmare finding som at this time of year)

** If you are spending the night in a hotel, then leaving immediately for HM -- figure out what you're doing w/ your dress (I'm still a little stumped on this -- my poor MOH is gonna be a busy girl the day after, cause I thinks she's gonna have to pick it up for me...)

** For HM -- travel stuff (neck pillows, book, walkman, sleep mask -- Overseas: passport, visa, converter plugs, guidebooks...)

** Caketopper




Extra set of maps and directions cards for anyone who forgot theirs.

Arrange a place/ suggest places for quests to spend the time inbetween the church and the reception (if applicable)

Have list for photographer/or designate someone to hold a list of photos you would like taken to make sure none or no one is forgotten

Make 'day of' and 'day before' agendas so you don't forget anything you want to get done

Have gown and tux bags for after the reception

Have a personal camera with extra film

Have a camera for rehersal and dinner

MARRIAGE LICENSE !!!

All vendor contact information, as well as copies of any contracts to avoid any problems

If you are having any extra decorations, etc. We are having snowflake candle lanterns, so I want to make sure I have plenty of extra votive candles

If leaving for honeymoon that night or next day, make sure everything you need is all put together, esp. passports, drivers license, tickets, agendas, etc.

Hey Jennbaby!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to you and the other girls that is ythe exact list I was looking for. Thanks sooooooo much!

THANKS SO MUCH!! THIS WILL BE A GREAT HELP!!!
