What should my day of timeline be?

I need to start figuring this out...let me know what you gals think:

Make-up: I need 1 hour
Hair: I need 2 hours
Big Reveal w/ FH: At 3:00pm
Drive to pictures: let's say until 3:30
Pictures: Until 6:00
Drive back to RH for ceremony: By 6:30
Ceremony: 7:00

Is it safe for me to start getting ready at 11am? And am I crazy to think that all the pics can be done within 2-2:30 hours? Should I get to the RH before 6:30?

TIA!

2-2:30 should be enough time for pictures together. Remember, you don't want to rush around because then you'll get flustered. As for getting to the site at 6:30, I would personally get their earlier. If your invites say 7, then your guests will be arriving around 6:30/6:45 and you'll be walking in with your guests.

I will say this, I made a day of timeline and TOTALLY didn't work out the way I wanted it to. I would start AT LEAST a half hour earlier then you wanted to, at the most an hour early. Things happen, traffic, delays getting ready, pictures, and you want to make sure you have enough time. I would start getting ready at 10AM just to be safe. I started at about 8AM with all my girls getting ready and we ended up running a little late and not getting all the pictures we wanted.

That's a good point, I don't want to get there when guests are arriving - thanks! I'll aim to get there earlier.

I only have my MOH and the moms getting ready with me, so hopefully that also helps w/ time.

This is very helpful - thanks :)

Is your MOH also getting her hair done and moms too?! You should be ready by 2:30 and get ready last.......

Yep, they're all getting their hair + make-up done.

I have a similar timeframe as you. As of now I think I want to be totally ready by 3:30, we'll do the reveal and pics at the hotel, then head to the RH at 5:00 for a 7:00 Ceremony. I dont know what time we're going to start hair and makeup yet but I plan on running that by the vendors in the next couple of weeks so I can let you know what we're thinking then.

Let me know what you decide date + time twin!!!

Thanks date/time twin!!! :) I think I might start getting ready around 11ish. That should give me enough time. I don't want to be ready way ahead of having to leave the hotel either :)
