Are you having a DOC? If you are, she would do all that. If not, you could ask your MOH or a family member.

Our coordinator at our reception venue will take care of it. Otherwise, these personal (and important) things are often entrusted to the best man, the maid of honor and/or the couple's parents.
I was just thinking about this yesterday when I meet with the manager at my reception venue. She asked me if I had a Master of Ceremonies (I didn't even know those existed!)
Basically I'm just going to ask the FFIL if he can help because he happens to have a van!
@thebrigade: Often, your DJ doubles as your DJ and MC (Master of Ceremonies). Is this the case for you? I, however, would not expect those duties to be performed by my DJ/MC.
Our Doc will be tying up loose odds and ends at the end of our reception.
If you don't have a DOC, make sure you make plans with some family members so that they can help with clean-up, delivering presents etc...
We didn't have a DOC but we were fortunately able to leave everything overnight and clean up the next day. I'm guessing this probably isn't the case for you though?
We have the bridal party in charge of gifts, guest book, personal items, etc. the florist is handling any leftover centerpieces and balloons and the caterer is cleaning everything else.
I've asked my mom to make sure that anything personal goes with her in the cab back to the house. And she'll probably have a couple helpers do it - most likely my MOH, the Best Man, my sister and my friends who'll be setting up that morning.
I had a list made of who took what home. My bridesmaids and family each took home a centerpiece. Also our attendants and families took the linens, decorations, and gifts and we picked them up later.
thanks for the info!
We are not having a DOC. I'm hoping my MOH & parents will help (MOH is a event planner anyways!). Gotta be out of there by 10 or 11pm (gotta check).
We asked that each bridesmaid and groomsman clean up 1 table centerpiece. We had big glass cylinders with small ones around them, all filled with water. It was probably a hassle but everyone handled it well. And really, cleaning up one is not all that time consuming. I left the boxes for the glassware with the venue so that everything could be picked up.
Our venue took care of linens & charger plates, although we provided them
My sister (MOH) was in charge of all of the important things--cake serving set, toasting flutes, cards, pictures, etc.
My sisters' boyfriends took care of loading gifts into my parents' car.
I had my aunts all help with the take down of the items owned by us. I think a florist would take her items and the DOC the rest, otherwise.

Our caterer will of course clean up everything from food, plates to tables, linens, etc. My question is who takes care of the other "personal" stuff - like centerpieces, flowers, vases, guest book, gifts, cards, extra favors, candy buffet stuff, bathroom baskets??
Should I enlist our attendants? Some of them are from out of town and only a few will have cars (and potentially drunk). Should I ask relatives to make sure these things get collected?
