well, when you say 'completed', I presume you mean you booked those vendors and purchased those items...

now you have to make final vendor appts and assign all those items to a vendor (ex.- cake knife, guest sign-in book, go to reception hall 2 days before) so they can be set-up on the big day. What's stressing me out is making sure I give every vendor all the stuff.... I keep thinking I'll forget the programs, the votives, the ring pillow, the cake topper.... or I'll send it to the wrong person...

also, all DIY's must be completed ASAP. (favors, placecards, programs....)

I am totally clueless, I had no idea to drop off those items to the vendors. Will you please give me a list of where to drop everyting off? Also yes I mean I booked and purchased those vendors and items.

I can't give you a list, becuase everyone's set of vendors is different...

You have to take inventory of what you need set-up, and ask your hall, florist, and other vendors who is willing to set them up, and then have it written into your contract.

Then you pack up the items and hand deliver them to the appropriate vendors 1-3 days before the wedding in boxes labelled with your names and the wedding date and time.
