Being collected on Saturday, my friend is in charge of flowers.

Bridesmaids all have dresses

You've sent the invites right?

Photographer/someone in charge of getting some good pics?

Transport

Transport to get to the ceremony?

Who is doing the set up and break down? Has everyone been paid?

Sounds like youve got it all covered! Have a wonderful day!

Invites out.
Friends doing set up, have not thought of tidy up! It is a venue so they will clear but will need to get someone to collect the plethora of bunting and fairy lights!

Borrowing a family members car....
Need to figure out how many left over and book taxis.

Well done!

Keep em coming!

music?

Photos

Whose taking photos and have you written a list of the photos you want? Are you buying gifts for the attendants? Guestbook?

Festival ponchos in case it rains (fingers crossed it doesn’t)

Make up /lipstick - practice run?!
Bag for phone /tissues!!

A little bag containing paracetamol, plasters, needle and thread, extra hair grips, hair spray.

Clothes for the next day if you're staying in a hotel.

Music?

A big blue fold up bag for presents (you never know). Comfy shoes for later? Cake? Speeches written down? Music?

To relax and enjoy!!! X

Photographer.

Wrt the photographer, if you are doing that thing that most people do where there's someone taking pictures in your home or hotel room as you're getting ready, do this: keep some nice-looking area v tidy so that you can do photos there. I have bombsite pics from my pre-wedding hotel room and my sister had to have various bits of clutter edited out of hers.
Congrats!
