My mum forgot to bring any knickers to my wedding. And then she got quite drunk with the pressure of it all and kept telling people!

Taxis home at the end of the night?

Have a lovely day and hope it does not rain.

Speaking from experience, blister plasters. Nobody wears worn-in shoes to a wedding, so the chances of a blister are quite high.

That list is fantastic thank you.

Where are you staying the night before and night of your wedding? I forgot to pack any clothes to have breakfast in the hotel the morning of my wedding Shock

Noting all of these down, never heard of the chalk idea.

Thank you cards or presents for attendants / helpers? We also had two birthday girls as guests at ours so we got them gifts. Party bag things for child guests?

If you’ve hired the men’s suits, arrange for someone to take them back again the next day.

Umbrella? Check weather.

Flowers for both your mums.
