The last week....

ThefuturemrsG, 23 September, 2015 at 11:41 Posted on Planning 0 16

I get married next Saturday and I just wondered if any OM's had any words of advice or can tell me what they had left to do with a week to go? I still need to finish making my table plan which I will do this weekend but apart from that and honeymoon prep I feel pretty organised. People keep asking me if I'm stressed about the 'mad last week' and I can't help feeling like I should have more to do or be busier?? I feel like I may have forgotten something huge!! So if any OMs could tell me the things they had left to do in the last week I'm hoping it'll help me remember anything I may have overlooked!!! Thanks in advance!!

    Hello date twin!!! You sound very organised! The things I have left to do are:

    • Get fresh flowers for mums (i'll do this the friday)
    • work out how to transport my table centre pieces to the venue
    • write our place names for the tables
    • send our bible reading to the best man
    • buy a duvet cover to put my wedding dress in
    • pick up wedding dress

    If you anything like me, you must be so excited! What time are you getting married on the saturday?!! Can't believe its only 10 days away!!! ?

    Eeekkk I know it's so exciting!! The last few months have flown! We get married at 1:30, how about you? I picked my dress up last night so it's now safely in its duvet at my mums house! I am trying to be organised but I can't get rid of a niggling feeling I've forgotten something!!

    We are getting married at 12:30!

    I keep thinking i've forgotten something, but i've googled 'wedding lists' online and 'things brides forget' but it hasn't come up with anything that I haven't already thought about and either done or dismissed!

    Have you anything left to do now or are you all sorted?! When do you finish work fro the wedding?! my last day is the 30th! It can't come soon enough! x

    I'm getting married at 12:00! :-o

    Hopefully I'll be ready by then! ha ha

    I still have to make up the table centres, do my final dress fitting, pick up the suits, pick up the dress after any more changes if needed, make our wishing well post box and I'm definitely sure I'm probably forgetting something! ARGH!

    I booked the Frday off work (got married on a Sunday) because everyone had said I'd have loads to do but it was all done really, the day before was a bit mad with transporting and setting everything at the venue up but I didn't have a lot to do in the last week.

    I need to make my table plan & get a couple of gifts for usher and dads & send some info over to venue but that's about it (I think!!!). We go on honeymoon on the Monday so I need to get organised with packing etc. for that, think a last minute shopping trip may be in order at the weekend! I just feel like there should be so much more to do!!! My florist is doing my centrepieces so I don't have to do anything in regrards to those which is a weight off!

    TheFutureMrsG - We finished our seating plan last night, just had to stick a couple of things on it! Where are you going on your honeymoon too?! You should definitely treat yourself to some last minute shopping! We are - although I am convinced I have forgotten some for the honeymoon though, like bugs repellent - i need to check!! That's nice the florist is doing your centre pieces! I think I am most excited about my cake! What yours like?!

    CornishBride - Last so exciting your ceremony time is 12noon! I'll be sitting at my mums waiting for the wedding car to arrive!!!! What are your centre pieces like?!

    Blissballoons - I have two days off before the wedding and I am hoping this is enough! I feel like i have everything under control so far!!! Hope it continues this way!!!!

    My Centre pieces are fish bowl vases, with sand in the bottom, shells and a large chunky seafoam candle. The table names are Cornish beaches and are displayed on a postcard of the place made by myself! :-)

    You sound really organised too sparkly bear!! I think I have definitely forgotten honeymoon essentials, we are spending 4 days in Las Vegas followed by 10 in Hawaii!! Cannot wait!! We've both been saving our holidays all year as having over 3 weeks off in October so we are both very tired and ready for a rest! Just remembered I haven't put the ceremony music onto CDs yet so that's another thing I have to do!! I have Fri, Sat & Sun off and then finish on Weds next week so plenty of time for last min shopping and finishing my table plan!

    Wow really? I can't wait to see flashes of yours either! :-D
    Some examples of mine are 'Lamorna Cove', 'Porthcurno' and 'Penberth'. The pictures of the locations are gorgeous so I hope it will provide a talking point for the guests!

    Oh and I haven't done my CD of music either! I completely forgot! Thank goodness for this thread!

    Hello date twin ?

    So far I have to

    - Pack OH's bag to go to the hotel (night before wedding & wedding night)
    - Pack my bag to go to the hotel (wedding night)
    - Check all my BM & MOH's stuff is ready to go the salon
    - Pick up BM/MOH's flat shoes
    - Call the caterer and have a final meeting
    - Pay the final balance for the wedding breakfast, and gave them the meal options

    I've had a few people ask if I'm stressed but I actually think I may be getting excited now!

    Roll on October 3rd ??

    I was manic (and ill) but had an entire venue to decorate - things we forgot to do were the kids packs (luckily only had 3!), finalise times for evening food and table clear downs, sort shoe liners and shoe changes (had 2!), get and write thank you cards, book taxi from venue to hotel for coming back from the evening.

    This is what we're planning! But San Francisco instead of Vegas. Did you use a company to organise or did you do it yourself? I'm not sure what is best.

    How are you feeling TheFutureMrsG?! Can't belive there's only 5 days left to go! I barely slept last night because I was so excited!! This morning my tummy feels like it has a thousand butterflies in it!!!! Other than that I am feeling quite calm, most things are done apart from picking up the suits (hopefully Thursday) and then putting some pics on a usb stick! What have you got left to do?! x
