Weddingbee boards

What I found was most valuable for me, was to sit down and walk through the entire day in my head. As I did anything in the make-believe day, I made a list of things I would require. So I went something like this:

Wake up: phone charger is packed (I use my phone as my alarm, so I needed to make sure it was charged)

Shower: whatever you need. For me, the extra was that I wanted to remember a shower cap, because I needed day old hair for my updo.

Girls meet here. Head to the salon. Remember to take veil.

blah blah blah.

Eventually I got to things like the ceremony. So I thought of things that not only I would need, but general things that needed to be there. 

-programs

-marriage license

-rings

-candles & pictures for famliy candles

What did we need for photos? OK, I need to pack a cooler full of water (and ahem, beer), bug spray, flip flops (sinky grass= no heels), extra lipgloss, etc.

Same for the rest of the day. Really, just walk through it all- what do you see, and what do you need to bring for that moment in time?

And to help you out, I'll make a short list, though it won't be all inclusive, and you may not be using all things:

-programs

-marriage license

-any ceremony music (on a CD? iPod? getting played?  Do you need extension cords or speakers for any of that?)

-tips/payment for anyone that needs to be paid day of

-anything for photos: other shoes, emergency kit, water and maybe a snack, props, directions for anyone who may not know where they are going

-cake topper, cake knife

-thank you speech

-toasting flutes

-card box

-favours

-guestbook & pens

-stuff for centerpieces

-stuff for extra reception decoration if you are providing your own

-any sort of stationary you may want photographed (invitation, STDs), or need for the day (bar menu, signs for guestbook etc)

-suitcase or whatever for wherever you are spending your wedding night. And know which car this is in! I forgot to bring a pair of shoes to wear away from the hotel the next day, and my MOH forgot a pair of pants lol!

@cherrycoke: Just the bride & groom, and only if you have a special set. We skipped them, and just used the venues regular wine glasses (we skipped champagne entirely).
