What am I forgetting?

I know all the major things that go into planning for a wedding, just curious about the smaller things I may be forgetting. So far the things I have are:


Catering


Florists


Church/Reception Hall


Decor for Church/Reception


Wedding favors


DJ


Wedding party atire








Any ideas? Thanks!

What am I forgetting?
Cake (sometimes done by the caterer, sometimes ordered completely separately, but definitely something you'll want to go over in detail)


Music for the ceremony (organist, singers, specific songs, etc)


What the groom is wearing


What YOU are wearing (right down to your shoes, stockings, and underwear)


Makeup bag to take with to the church/reception (so you can touch up for photos)


Invitations


specific photo requests for the photographer (such as special people or groups of people you want to be sure to get)


Who is going to marry you (minister, J.O.P., friend) and what vows are you going to use


Rehersal (where, and what about dinner after)


Wedding gift for your groom
Reply:don't forget to check your state laws regarding special licenses, insurance or permits especially if you want to serve alchohol like for a champagne toast. this is something thats easily overlooked.





Don't forget your cake! cake topper, toasting goblets and cutlery, unless thats all part of catering:)
Reply:Bride %26amp; groom I just don't see it on the list sounds like a great party though.
Reply:Invitations. Thank you notes for after. Pictures.
Reply:do you have someone that is marrying you? I don't know if that's included in "church". don't overlook the ceremony...it's the whole reason you're doing all of this!





who's doing it, are you writing your own vows, is anyone going to sing/read, what kind of music are you going to have, do you need things like a unity candle, aisle runner, get your rings...
Reply:Cars


Hotel for night of the wedding


Cake


Bonboneries (Gifts for guests)


Signature Book for guests to write a message to you both


Photo for the door of the reception


Table centre pieces
Reply:Photographer, gift for your groom, gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen and mother and mother-in-law (%26amp; father, father-in-law) possible first dance song with your groom, song to dance with your father (or whoever gives you away). Transportation, where will you get ready, make-up, hair, jewelry for yourself. something new, old, borrowed and blue. Does the catering include alcoholic beverages IF you are serving alcohol?
Reply:transportation for everyone on the wedding day.





gifts for your attendants.





the person marrying you (unless that is included in the church part).
Reply:Make sure to pack things for the next day if your planning to stay at a hotel. My husband and I stayed at a hotel for 5 days in NYC and planned our honeymoon later in the year because of lack of vacation time.





The rings





The envelope bag/birdcage





My mother bought me a knife to cut the cake and I forgot to bring it:( I never told her





Your checkbook for final payments to the reception hall, photographer, DJ





Will you need a wrap shawl??





Other jewelry





Very Important!! Make sure to tell the photographer what photos you would like, my guys took tons of photos of decor and less of people. They were trying to be artistic but how many pics can I have of my bouquet.
