The BIG DAY is Coming…

After much attention to the fine details, you and your guests will soon enjoy the efforts of all that planning!

Other Things to Think About

• Photo Session - create a list of all of the photos that you want taken that day.  Be sure to indicate the "must-have" photos vs. the "it would be OK" type.  List names of people in each grouping; their relationship to the bride and groom might be helpful in the case of special family circumstances.
  
• Processional/Recessional:  Who is walking in with whom? How is everyone getting to the altar?  Music?  Unity candle?  How are the guests going to be dismissed?  Will the ceremony or reception site permit open flames, birdseed, rose petals, etc.
  
• Reception - when or are you doing these things???  Cake cutting, First Dance, Dance with Dad/Mom, Attendants Dance, Bouquet Toss (to keep the kids involved try throwing candy to them before the bouquet toss - then you can have the adult women only in the bouquet toss), Garter Toss, Dollar Dance, etc.
  

Rehearsal and Dinner Notes

1. Run through the ceremony and decorate the ceremony site, if possible.
   
2. Hand out detailed time schedules to ensure that everyone in the family and wedding party understands the day's schedule.  Include hair appointments, photography session, ceremony time, reception, etc.
   
3. Distribute attendants gift bags.
   
4. Eat and have fun.
   
5. GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP - you'll want to look your best for photos.
