Reading the thread on the post box it got me thinking. I had completely forgotten that I'd need one since we've asked not to have any gifts. Then on my sweetie buffet thread someone pointed out we'd need scoops and bags too! It's these little things that I'm scared I'll forget. I know they don't ruin the day but still I'd like to try and get what I need sorted. SO.... what little details might we forget?
So far I've got *Post box *Scoops and bags for sweetie buffet

Good suggestions. Guest book - Haven't got guest book yet, must start looking Confetti - not allowed at venue - must add to website to remind guests not to bring any. Pen - Do we really have to provide our own pen??? Stockings - getting married in July so hoping to be bare legged! But it will probably snow!

My friend had a sweetie buffet and she just bought muffin cases and some plastic tongs - she uses the tongs in the kitchen and the muffin cases might be cheaper than bags...just a thought for you hun - and thanks for the reminder about the post box!! :-) x
Have seen candy striped paper bags on ebay pretty cheap but togs may be an idea.x

I hadn't thought about a pen either, I just assumed the registrar would provide one?
Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
They do provide one but it won't be a nice looking one just one to write your names down. If you want something fancy on the photos and not a cheap bic then you are best to take your own.
CommentAuthorkateh3
yeah do we need a pen lol!

I'll dig out my fancy Parker then. H2B will have to give it to the registrar

I knew I wouldn't be the only one. There must be more things we're likely to forget. Let's hope loads of other girls read this thread!

Rings...very little but a huge detail to miss. It happened to my brother!
Horseshoe cake stand and knife - if venue don't provide, amazing how easy it is to forget this. cake boxes or napkins to take cake home new, old,borrowed and blue and sixpence in your shoe.
don't forget to wear your shoes in the house a day or two before to wear them in, otherwise you may need to carry a handbag full of blister cushions.
car ribbon if car company dont provide. if you are having a sweetie station maybe print up your own design sweet jar labels - as not everyone will know what sweets they are picking. We are doing labels and tying with ribbon in our colours to match everything else.
Maybe also a little sweet station poem from you and h2b so guests know you have provided this and not the venue. The poem we have says something along the lines.... A little sweet thank you from Steve and Dee Fill up your cone and enjoy But save a few for me.
It's a work in progres.....xx

CommentAuthorTotallyLovedUp
oh my word! a pen? really?! I might take a pink one with feathers and a little springy heart on top lmao kidding!! would be funny to see H2B's face though when that god whipped out an had to sign and pose with it for photos lol
what about table sprinkles, napkin rings, bubbles instead of confetti, chair sashes...erh will try and think of more oh yea dont forget to pack a little make up kit and first aid kit. you dont want to get a killer heaache and have no pain killers or cut your leg and bleed over your dress, so remember plasters lol

CommentAuthorljeh92
Make sure you got your insurance!
I have bought some nice gel pens for the guestbook in dark pink and gold, was gonna buy silver but may not show up.. its better than blue or black biro?
Write a list for venue for night before e.g lanterns lit during day pink ribbon for decoration on railings, trees etc. tissues for top table for teary eyes
A toy box in case you have little ones who may get bored? this is a must at our wedding!
We have steps around the back of our venue so will putting little lanerns on the steps during day for photos and they will be moved onto outside tables in the evenings for those who want a smoke or find it a bit too hot inside.
Soon to be Mrs Laura Naylor !!
