What To Pack For Your Wedding Day
Who loves a checklist? Here’s a little checklist on what to pack for your wedding day.
You’ve wrapped up the last timeline confirmations, guest drops outs, picked your song choices and put all the finishing touches to your wedding ceremony.
What’s left? .. That’ll be you!
Packing yourself up for your wedding day is usually left till last. We often come bottom of the pile; we’re so busy organising everything and everyone else.
But getting YOU ready is essential; you don’t want to give yourself any stress worrying that you will forget something you will or might need.
So sit yourself down a few days before the ceremony and write out a list of what you need to take with you to wherever you’re staying the night before the wedding ceremony.
I’ve covered a few of the essential items here, but get yourself a pad and write down things as you go along.
Better written down than forgotten!
