Afraid im going to forget the small things

Erin, on January 29, 2012 at 11:28 PM Posted in Planning 0 18

Anyone else afraid there are so many major things to do for a wedding that they will forget the small things? I ordered my garter today because i feel like its something i would forget about! What are the small things you have to remember to do?

    Things to remember that are most likely to be forgotten are envelopes with tips for the maitre d, etc at the venue. I read that in the beginning and thats one thing I wont forget.

    I forget that I might need other decorations other than centerpieces? But what and where? The ceremony space I suppose but I dont know what to do!

    I am terrified I'm going to forget things, nothing specific, but I feel like I'll spend so much time on details and forget something big.

    Gina, thats on my to do list, other decorations lol. Im thinking of getting those paper landerns to hang from the ceiling and also we have a fireplace in the reception venue so i thought it would be cool to put a framed picture of us on there and a sign saying just married.

    I've been trying to do stuff like that too. I've got our toasting flutes and our cake decorations, shot list for the photographer, a rough draft of the day of timeline, favors and decor all figured out (and purchased for the most part)... A close friend of mine just had her wedding in December and I tried to absorb all the little things that stressed her out in the last week!

    I have a 'shopping list' app on my phone that as I think of the 'little things' I know I need to buy or do, I just add them. This way I won't forget the small things. I am so scared of getting to the day and not having something I knew I would need. It's probably the thing I worried about the most.

    Im worried about the small things the most too, i have nightmares that the day of the wedding i will forget something like the sand ceremony or my cake topper or something. I still have over 6 months to get everything but i can forget a lot in 6 months lol.

    Something that also helped me was getting big, storage containers to use as my "wedding crap" boxes. Keeps everything all in one place, especially if you're buying stuff way ahead of time.

    I feel the exact same way. And I kept thinking oh, I have time.. and now it's under three months away! Where'd the time go? I did what Elisa K did and that is to buy storage containers and put all things wedding in them as I go so I have one place to look when I need something.

    You'll still get married and have a great wedding even if you forget something. Big or small. Except someone to marry you, someone to marry, and the marriage license. Everything else is extra.

    I totally stress about the little details! I keep waking up at 2 am thinking it all over-uggggh (cannot be doing THAT for 8 more months Smiley winking I find what's helped me a little is to keep a note pad by my bed so when I wake up in a frenzy I can write down the thoughts that come to my head and go back to sleep lol

    So what are some of the little things that might be forgotten?????? I think about that all the time too but I am not sure of what is so little but so significant? Anyone?

    What are you ladies jotting down in the middle of the night on your notepads?!?!

    I think Hayley had a great list of things not to forget. Let me see if I can find it.

    Im not worried about forgetting something. As long as I have the groom, an officiant, a few witness, and the marriage license... what else do you really need???

    I read this and it put my mind at ease...
