So, my FI and I don't have a wedding party but we have lots of friends who would love to help out and lots of things we need done. I have a college student I used to babysit (YIKES) setting up the reception for me along with the caterer but can any former brides think of anything else we'll need volunteers for besides the following:

*Guest Book Pushers!

*People to collect all the things from the church ceremony & replace the moved pews

*Someone to return the FI tux.

*Someone to return the unused alcohol (if any!)

*People to gather all our stuff after the reception and take it back to our house (gifts & decorations)

*Someone to be in charge of losts guests--I'm going to give everyone their cell phone number so lost people can contact this person instead of us! :)

*Someone to hand out the programs.

Anyway... can you think of anything we're forgetting??? Thanks so much!!!

I'm not sure if this is something you need to worry about but I was going through the same list as you and I realized that: I don't have anyone to make sure I am ready to walk down the aisle!! All my BMs and MOH will all be at the other ennd of the aisle when it's time for me to walk down and no one will be there to fix the back of my dress before I go... do you need someone to be behind you???

Also, we have our photographers but we decided to have a friend video our ceremony ... maybe another friend assited chore?

EXCELLENT! I didn't think of either one of these:

•Official Dress fixer

•Official food & beverage getter....

My plan is to come up with some fun names for everyone's jobs....

Oh and I thought of another one today. We're leaving from the recpetion to our hotel and the next day to the airport for our Honeymoon. I need to change out of my dress before leaving the reception and give it to my parents otherwise we have to take it with us to Hawaii! :( That would be a bit silly! Thanks for your help you two!
