Wedding is June 21. Help me remember everything I'll need?

Question

I have been planning for over a year already. I have boxes of stuff under the bed, under my desk, next to the bed, in my trunk and some in the basement. There are some things like purchasing cups, plates, utensils, etc., that I'll do closer to the big day. I have lists upon lists of what to take with us.

We're spending the night before in a motel near the park where we're being married.

Please name things, small, & large-basically EVERYTHING you can think of (leave no details out) that I'll need to remember to take.

Don't leave anything off your list because you think it's silly or obvious.

Thanks for your help!

Wedding Rings
**
Dress & appropriate alterations
Undergarments for dress
Jewelry
Veil & headpiece

Flowers to present your moms during the ceremony
(If you're catholic) Flowers to take to the Blessed Mother
Arrangements for church and altar
Pew Bows
Unity candle
Shoes - for the ceremony & Pictures
Slippers or something comfy for the reception
***
Gifts for:
Bridesmaids
Groomsmen
Parents
Flower girls/ring bearers
Readers

***
Money for officiant/church
Tips for altar server(s)
Copy of readings - just in case!

***
If you have a limo, you may want to consider a sandwich ring or something small to snack on between the church & reception. You'll be surprised how hungry you really are, and what champagne can do to you on an empty stomach!

***
Okay - This is going to sound nuts, but I did this for my own wedding, and it was awesome. You can go as extravagant as you want - but you probably have most of these things anyway.

Make an "Emergency Kit" and bring it with you - full of "just in case" items:
Extra pantyhose
Clear nail polish
Hairspray
Bobby Pins
Brush/Comb
Hand mirror
Makeup
Shine blotting papers!
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Deodorant
Tampons/pads
White chalk (to quickly cover a stain on your dress)
Stain remover
Duct tape (to quickly and temporarily fix a hem gone wrong. Trust me. It happens. A lot.)
Safety pins
Sewing kit
Granola or cereal bars
Bottled Water
Aspirin!
Antacids
Gum or mints
Your fully-charged cell phone, along with a copy of the names and phone numbers of every single vendor you hired - just in case (I'm talking DJ, Videographer, Church, Limo Driver, Reception Hall, Florist, Caterer, Bakery where your cake came from, Photographer - if you hired them for your wedding day, take their number!!!). As an aside, give a copy of this list to a trusted friend or family member as well!!

Good luck!

Answer 3

You don't say where you are going on your honeymoon, so it is difficult to answer. I'm sure you've been on vacation before. Pack as if you are going on a vacation (because you are). Obviously at your bridal shower you will most likely receive some lingerie that you will want to pack, and depending on the hotel you go to, they will provide hair dryers, irons, shower supplies. Take your toothbrush and hair brush (most hotels either supply complimentary items you may have forgotten or have a supply of things to purchase). You are overthinking everything. Go take a hot bath, with a cup of tea and relax. No matter what it will be a beautiful day and everything will turn out well. Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 4

1. dont forget to show up
2. if you show up, wear the dress/gown
3. make sure there is actually a groom
4. send out the invitations
5. call the caterer
6. make sure the priest/minister is there to marry you
7. there should be a "something new, something blue, something borrowed"
8. look for "souvenirs".. token for your guests that they are able to come
9. register for the "gift registry" and don't forget to sign up all the good things that you want. and don't just sign up in one store, if possible, sign up on all the stores, so you'll get all you want.
10. remember to bring the following: cord, veil, candle (for the ceremony)
11. the ring of course!
12. if you have a vow, write it (believe me, you don't have the time to memorize it)
13. make sure the flowers are there, for the decorations and for your bouquet

if you want, you can always hire a wedding coordinator so you wont have to worry a thing about what you will forget..

Answer 5

Your dress, bra, underware, hose, shoes, going away outfit if you plan on changing clothes, flower girl baskets and flower petals, your bouqets, pew bows, candles, tuxes, guest book and pen, decorations for the church and reception hall, the cake, picture list (ones you want taken), the marriage license, bubbles (or bird seed, balloons, etc), camera, film, batteries, video camera, tape, plates, food, forks, spoons, knives, cups, napkins, table cloths, table skirts, card basket or bird cage, the rings, ring pillow

I'm sure I'm leaving some things out. But, just relax - sit down and write out your list of all the things you have and check them off as you get them ready to go. You'll do fine!

Answer 6

Oh my goodness! this is countless undesirable success. So, enable's start up with the 1st situation...the costume. you have some concepts with it. a million. you will come across a seamstress. seem for one which's fantastically stated and that's an expert at fixing maximum of those issues. I worked at a bridal save so i comprehend the wonders that a robust seamstress can do. 2. you could bypass on eBay/craigslist on your costume in a bigger length. then you could sell your unique costume. 3. you could bypass to shops and come across a matching costume (lots of designers have comparable designs) and then eBay/craigslist your costume. the main necessary element is to be chuffed and delicate on your costume. ok, for the ring. maximum rings might properly be sized. It does value extra and apparently like an exceptionally undesirable time to be incurring extra expenditures, yet each and every so often you in basic terms could. As for the bridesmaids outfits, this is terrible approximately your bridesmaid that pulled out and that your sisters costume did no longer extra healthy. yet in view which you at the instant have 2 extra bridesmaids outfits which you paid for, bypass on eBay and craigslist and sell them as a pair. you will no longer get all your money decrease back yet some. finally, looking a makeup artist would be confusing yet no longer impossible at this element. yet another selection could be shops with super shops with super makeup departments that do makeup. Or countless spas have their own makeup human beings. For the marriage and rain situation, consult with the seller and see if there are any concepts if it does rain. (possibly they have tents) finally, the broken blood vessel will clean up until eventually now the marriage. in basic terms undergo in strategies you could cope with this; its sooner or later. And no count number what, after June twenty first you would be married. solid success!

Answer 7

go to www.theknot.com and create an account. Enter your wedding date and you will get a check list of things you should have done/need to do. It's a WONDERFUL tool, it helps me every single day, seriously. Some of the pre-entered things won't apply to you, simply X them off but you can also add items that aren't there. It's truly a life saver and keeps you from going mental and thinking "now what did I forget". Best of all, it's free. Congrats and good luck.

all of the dresses and tux, shoes, flowers, seating arrangments, what will you be serving, are you sure you have enough seating/food/room for every one, will you practice the day before so every one knows what to do, has every one rsvp, have you checked all your reservations (catering, music, hotel, park, prest, etc.) to make sure your all on the same page, are you and your brides maids getting your hair done, have you picked the best man and the maid of honer, do you have an arangement in which order you want your bridle party to stand (maid of honer, then your cousin, then a friend.....) you apperently have the plates, cups, utensils on your mind already. just a few ideas

Answer 10

Get a notebook that is a calendar with big blocks to write in each day. Write everything in the notebook and check it off as you do it. Stop stressing and enjoy.
Number one is to enjoy your wedding. Drop all of the things that are unnecessary, bogging you down, causing you stress and simplify the whole process. Have fun.
