I have an irrational fear that my venue is going to lose something important on my wedding day.  Maybe I've read too many posts about that happening on here.  So tell me...did your venue lose anything pre-reception?  Post-reception?  Was it something important or did you not even notice it was gone?

Our venue lost our jumping broom, but found it again. It was my fault -- I had given the broom to the florist weeks prior, so he brought it to the wedding. The venue thought it was his and kept it to return to him. We were able to pick it up later. My mistake was in not letting anyone know that the broom, while brought by the florist, belonged to us.

Other than that, I'm a super nerdy-bride, so in the days before the wedding, I typed up labels for every box or bag we gave them which listed what was in the box. I also had a typed piece of paper listing each box and what was in it.

I gave this paper to the venue coordinator, the wedding planner, and kept one for myself. It really didn't take much time at all (the "labels" were just typed sheets of paper that I taped to the box) and the venue people loved it!. They packed up every single thing, because it was so easy for them.

I posted about my fantastic cake topper here: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/our-custom-cake-topper  And this is what I'm afraid they're going to either lose or break.  It cost a lot of money and means a lot to me.  I know I need to let go and I have control issues, but I would be so sad if something happened to it.

oyster, that's a great idea!  I am planning on doing the same thing!
