    Any gifts for bridal party, parents, etc.

    Keep your dress and accessories together! I brought my dress but left my veil and shoes. My dad had to go get them.

    I made a list and alphabetized it so things were easy to find on it. Yours looks good!

    @SDC reminded me, I brought a copy of every contract and document related to the wedding. We didn't need anything, but bringing it was worth it for the peace of mind.

    I mentioned this on a thread earlier this week but if you aren't getting ready at a home/hotel/traditional place wedding parties get ready be sure there is a full-length mirror there. I am fairly certain the place I am getting ready won't have one, so I'm packing 2! Just a thought! Good luck!

    Advil, tums, pepto bismol, etc. Toothbrush and toothpaste if you want to brush your teeth after snacking/lunch before the ceremony.

    PJs to sleep in the day before and outfit for the day after if you're not staying at home. I completely forgot these so I had to wear my RD dress the day after the wedding since I didn't have anything else lol.

    If you havent written your thank you notes to your parents and bridal party do so now! I waited until the day before our RD to write mine. I figured it would only take a few minutes... 30 minutes later I was a crying mess because I was so damn emotional lol. I couldn't bring myself to finish all of them because of how emotional I was. Definitely start them asap!!
