What last minute things are there to do?

YeahYeahYeah, 18 April, 2012 at 15:11 Posted on Planning 0 5

Me again! Sorry if im getting boring!

I have had the day off to do wedding stuff and have spent most of the day noseying about!

What last minute things are there that I should be doing?

I have 9 days left and feel like I should be doing something!

  • I have all my menus, table plans etc. ready to print next weds in case of any more dropouts
  • I am starting my crystal bouquet tonight ( I think im having around 100 stems so hoping it only takes 2-3 evenings at most
  • I want to make a bride jute bag before my honeymoon, again, one evening
  • Pack for honeymoon, it's half done but keep taking things out
  • Lovely 'last supper' evening out planned for Saturday with the h2b with NO KIDS IN TOW!!!! It has been so long........
  • Need ikea to get my centrepieces but also got to wait in for a few large parcels im expecting so that needs to wait, also, don't have room for all the stuff in my house so don't want to get it yet!
  • Picking cake up/all beauty bits next wednesday

There must be a few things Im missing. Anybody have any suggestions? Feels like there should be loads to do but i have done only the table plans etc. today which took AGES to align correctly etc.

    Are all your presents sorted? all decorations? have you dont a photo list or order of the day list?

    final details confirmed with the venue? all your beauty treatments booked in?

    i'll be watching this thread as i havent done anything weddingy for a few days and am sure i should be doing more considering how little time is left!

    Here's my list (10 days to go):

    Make seating plan (last minute like you said)

    Print out large Order of the Day sign

    Email ushers re their duties

    Make a list of who gets buttonholes/wrist corsages when flowers arrive at venue (for ushers to distribute)

    Pick up favours/place cards

    Pick up hired glasses

    Make confetti cones (if i can be bothered)

    Confirm everything with all suppliers (florist/cake/caterer/chair covers&sashes) - esp time they are dropping things off to venue

    Make final payment (only florist left now)

    Collect up everything that needs to be taken to venue the day before or on the day - including lip balm/makeup, hair and safety pins, tissues, contacts and solution, inhaler, dress, perfume, shoes x 2, side tiara, clutch bag, jewellery

    Give rings to best man

    Write a letter/note for OH to find on morning of wedding, left with little gift

    Epilate my legs and underarms night before

    Get cash to pay some of the suppliers with on the day (hairdresser and cake lady)

    Wrap any remaining presents and arrange bouquets for MOB and MOG

    Make arrangements for all cards and presents to be collected up at the end of the wedding (to go in email to ushers)
