Anyhoo, my other half piped up this week gone and decided he had some amazing ideas to input into the decorations for the reception. Don't get me wrong, the suggestions were great and looked really good, but I've had some of those decorations ready for months and changing them a week and a half before the wedding made me a little wound up, edgy and felt pushed for time (which I was trying to avoid being all 'prepared') But, as it is I love the changes we've made and they're all done now anyway with plenty of time to spare.
So, my list of lists:
- Things to do the week of the wedding
- Things to take to my parents house to get ready the morning of the wedding
- Things for the overnight bag for the night of the wedding
- Things to take to the venue
- Things to bring back to the venue
- Things we need for our 'mini-moon' in Paris
Yes I've gone completely ocd, but in a very controlled manner where only my hubby-to-be is seeing the slightly crazed look in my eye...surely this is a good test for the longevity of our married lives together!
I've also done a whole 'breakdown of the day' which I've shown to the bridal party so everyone knows who needs to be where and when.
Pretty prepared. The last thing I need to do is finish off the favours bags, but I cant add the sweets until a couple of days before to keep them fresh.
Here are some pics of my fiancé's great added ideas. The candy buffet was a stroke of genius as we'll have quite a few left over sweets from the favours, so figured we'd pop the rest out for anyone wanting extra but also for the evening guests who wont get favours bags!
