The Wind down

Once the bachelorette party has come and gone, we're counting down to the wedding. There's not much more for the MOH to do until the day of the wedding now. Even the bride is doing last minute things for the big day, and unless something huge happens between now and then, it's all down hill from here girl! Pat yourself on the back for all the hard work that you've done this far. The bride may not even choose to involve you in the last of the errands that she has to run. Here's a list of major things that you can quiz the bride on to ensure that the wedding day goes smoothly:
The wedding venue has received the payments according to the agreement.
The wedding cake has been ordered and will be delivered to the venue.
The DJ, wedding singer, etc has been finalized and everyone is set with an agenda. (remind the bride to include these folks when ordering food)
The photographer is paid and knows what shots the bride wants for the day.
The food is ordered and the guests are accounted for.
The flowers have been ordered and someone is incharge of picking them up or dropping them off.
The guys know when and where to pick up the tuxes; make sure that EVERYONE tries on the tuxes at pick up! NO EXCEPTIONS!
The girls have the dresses and alterations are taken care of.
Gifts for the wedding party are bought to give out at the rehersal dinner.
The rehersal time is set at the venue. Sending an agenda to everyone in the wedding party, including all of the parents and grandparents will keep her stress level down. The agenda should say when, where, and what time the rehersal is and has important times all the way through the big day. (trust me on this one!)
The rehersal dinner is planned and everyone knows where they are going.
All of the wedding accessories are bought; ring pillow, flower girl materials, champagne glasses, cake cutting materials, and guest book.
