We forgot WHAT?!?! Your Wedding Day Checklists

Your wedding day finally arrives.  There is so much excitement getting ready that it's no surprise that sometimes essential items are forgotten. To help prevent the chaos of running around to get or find items, we give all of our brides a handy wedding day checklist.  Customize it to suit your needs.

We also suggest that you gather all personal & décor items up the week of the wedding into whatever they’re being transported in, checking them off the list as you do.  It's also helpful if you drop off your (non-valuable) décor items at the venue the day before your wedding.  Most importantly, if possible, bring your marriage license to the rehearsal to give to the officiant.  This paperwork can be easily forgotten.  But, legally, the officiant cannot perform the service without it.

To provide extra peace of mind for our clients, we always bring our wedding day cart that is filled with items for virtually any situation that may arise.

Personal Inventory List

Worried about who will collect all of the paraphernalia used on your wedding day? What if your guest book, left-over programs or grandma’s priceless cake server gets left behind? Our Personal Inventory Sheet is the perfect solution! Prior to the wedding day, take a few moments to sit down and think about all the items that will need to be collected at the end of the night. Make sure to include the quantity of the non-consumable items and a description of where the items will be located. Also be sure to designate someone to be responsible for collecting all of the left-over items. Discuss where these items should be stored or who they will go home with at the end of the night to make sure everything gets to the proper person.
