8 Things You Will Need Day Of

As the day gets closer you may feel overwhelmed, or underwhelmed, however you are feeling just know it is normal. It is normal to feel like you’re forgetting a multitude of things and that is why I created this list.

Emergency Kit

This kit needs to have tissue, extra makeup, fashion tape, scissors, bandaids, and nail clippers. Yes there needs to be more than that, but these things are essential.

Timeline

This one may be common knowledge, but believe me when I say it helps to know when everything is supposed to happen. It is worth noting that not everything will happen at the exact time you expect it to.

Food

”Destiny, I have a caterer. . .” Yes you do, but that is dinner. What about breakfast? Lunch? Snacks?! Plan to eat ALL of that, even if it is a bite here and there you need some nutrition. Luckily, I provide snacks and I make sure you’re eating.

Shoes

Yes, you will have shoes on already, but do you have some shoes to change into if those are not comfy?

A Ride

How are you getting to the venue? How are you getting home, or to the hotel?

Plan for Extra Food

Do you know what you are going to do with all the extra food, or cake? I suggest getting to-go boxes to make it all the easier. I provide them to all my couples because the last thing you want to worry about is where the food is going.

Alone Time

Do not forget the reason this wedding is happening. You both decided to have a wedding to celebrate your love, so take 10-15 minutes out of your day to just stop and enjoy the moment.

Day of Coordinator

I know cheap plug in here, but you will not be sorry if you hire one. These people are here to make sure you‘re not bombarded with ridiculous questions all day, or week. Coordinators are there to help you.

This list works for all budgets and people. Happy Wedding Planning!
