sorry if this touches a nerve with some people - I know many are stressing about what is left to do but I have a genuine worry that I am missing something obvious as seem to have done nearly everything but feel as though should be stressing more. Wedding is 21st May
rings - bought and paid for Car - sorted. Need to get decorations for it though (friend of my mums car) Cake - sorted. Aunt is making and bringing down day before. Dress - sorted. Final alterations being done May 6th Accessories - have tiara, veil, earings, necklace, shoes, garter Suits - boys booked in for fittings 1st April. Suits have been chosen this is measuring up. Venue - booked and half paid for. Rest of payment due 1st May Church - booked and hymns and readings chosen. DJ - songs chosen inc first dance and father daughter dance Order of service - printed Flowers - have fakes and have my bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets and top table decoration Table decorations - using bridesmaid bouquets and putting in vases (need to get the vases) have blowing bubbles, table runners, balloons as well for decorations and table christals. Invites - out and all day rsvp's back. Missing 4 evening rsvp's only. Menu and drinks - chosen Charicaturist - booked and deposit paid Photographer - have gone round church and venue with them and planned the staged group shots and what general shots we want Honeymoon - booked flights and hotels (this is one area we need to plan more) Table plan - planned but not printed (will print a couple of weeks before in case anyone drops out) Favours - have Hag night - joint hen and stag on 16th booked and paid for. Hair and make up trials - done yesterday. Bridesmaid dresses bought and girls dresses are being altered now thank yous for bridesmaids done - need to get the mums ones nearer the time as getting bouquets.
With 54 days to go and struggling to find stuff still do do I can't help but feel I must be missing something glaringly obvious. I am normally the worlds most disorganised person.
Does the list look complete or what else should I be doing.
Still to do More honeymoon planning vases for table decorations Speach writing and rehearsing car decorations. Gifts for dads
Anything else???

CommentAuthorJilly17
You have done so well!!!! How about your something old new borrowed blue? Place cards? Extra pens for the guest book as they tend to wander on the day! A posh pen to sign the register with so you dont have a biro on your photos! List of your bits you need with you on the day eg lipgloss, make up to touch up, perfume...things to freshen up with?

I think that you are looking well prepared and if you have missed something it isn't going to be important and you can live without it. Hope you have a fab day.

Stockings or tights? Thank you cards? Suitcases/honeymoon clothes/sunglasses/European health card (if honeymoon in Europe)? Confetti? (Got two little boxes for my BMs to put in their little bags!) Buttonholes for the men? Corsages for the mums? Book in for waxing?
Cant really think of anything else....
CommentAuthordizzydora4
what about emergency bride kit? paracetamol for headache, tissues for tears, clear nail polish for stocking ladders,needle and thread, safety pin. oooh the list is endless x
CommentAuthorYourFirstDanceBride
Wow you have done great. We're getting married 2 weeks after you so this was useful to me too.
Have you got a postbox for people's cards that they will bring on the day. You will need a safe place for these.
Also have you done an order of service?
And a list of specific photographs you want for your photographer. We are also doing a list of the order of photographs for bridesmaid and best man so they can help round people up at the right time.

If you are changing your name and going abroad for your honeymoon, have you changed your passport? Or will you be using your current passport? What name are your air tickets in?
Have you given your Notice of Marriage?
You seem very organised, well done.

CommentAuthorMrsSnedden2B
U can provide some confetti just incase people forget thats what i am doing leaving some at the church door hoping most people will bring there own but xx
CommentAuthorYourFirstDanceBride
I've done some confetti cones so we definately have some.
CommentAuthorMel D
Our venue doesn't allow confetti so I've bought some rose petals and will have them in a basket so people can grab a handful if they want to.
