Ok, so what am I forgetting?
Not all of those things are too difficult,...but some of them worry me to pieces. Feel free to pray for me....or come visit and help with some of it :)
Napkins? some kitchen supply places do them right there in the shop if you want their names and wedding date. Plain cocktail size work too.
ReplyDeleteWedding cake topper?
Shoes? comfy reception ones?
Something old, new, borrowed, blue, and a penny/sixpence in her shoe? I pinned a small bow tied from Clan Donald ribbon on the inside of my girls' dresses as a remembrance of family ties.
Ziplock bags come in handy for various things.
Also, you might put together a "bride's aid bag" with safety pins, needle/thread, bandaids, bobby pins, scissors, scotch tape, and anything else you might not realize you need. I tossed in a travel size can of deodorant, hairspray, a mirror (for seeing backs of hair), mints, Tums, hairbrush, comb, one or two of those Tide stain pens, toothpaste/toothbrush... whatever comes to mind.
Great ideas!! We've got a cake topper and shoes, I think Mama's making plans on the napkins etc for me. Old/new/borrowed/blue I had an idea for and want to include her bridesmaids in that. I like the small bow thought too...and we have some Bailey plaid... THANKS NANCY!!
