Call Anyone But The Bride

Day of Coordinator. If you hire one, the need for this goes away.

I would assume this is for vendors. But I may be wrong.

I plan on giving my vendors my parents' phone numbers just in case something comes up and I am not answering my phone. I don't really see the need for a formal card though.

ETA: double word,

While cute, literally no one called me the day of the wedding. If need be, give the vendors another number (they had my husband's, he was on site that morning) but other than that they just did everything through the venue coordinator.

I think it's cute, but I'm on the fence about it. While there's a bunch of cute ideas floating around on the internet, not all are necessary. I do like the idea of giving this to vendors, just a print out on regular computer paper or something

This is such an unnecessary thing to do and spend money on. No one called me that day and this list can be sent to all your vendors in a simple email. If you have a DOC put her # on it and have her send it to people. If you don't then give people your FH's # or MOH's # as back up.

ETA: clarity

I think some people give it to guests because guests might call bride or groom if they are lost, can't find parking, will be late. Honestly, I didn't have my phone on me the whole day, so if people called me they were SOL. I hope people realize that and if they don't reach me, call someone else.

I think even vendors know not to call the bride on her wedding day. Just make sure they have the phone numbers of others who can answer their questions.

ETA: Or just give your phone to someone else in case someone does call. But like others have said, nobody called me that day.

I am giving this to guests in their welcome bags. Also included is their hotel phone numbers and taxi information. I'm doing it as a business-sized card - just in case they need it, for whatever reason.

I also included the MOH and BM phone numbers (make sure this is okay with them).

This would be a good idea to give to the vendors as well.. But I doubt they will call me..

This is literally the dumbest thing to spend your money on. It isn't cute or necessary and likely not useful either.

pass.

We made welcome bags for our OOT guests; the bags contained a welcome packet with info about the area, suggestions on things to do, etc. We put a blurb on there to call my DOC with any day-of questions. She didn't get any calls and neither did I.

I think it's a cute idea. If you're crafty (or good with photoshop or word) you could make these yourself and save some money. I don't have a wedding planner/coordinator, so I think these would be helpful--for vendors, people in the bridal parties, or anyone else who might be helping out that day.

I even considered listing the numbers of the vendors and each contact person as well, so that anyone who is helping out can contact them if needed.

I just typed up a list of contact info in Microsoft Word. Nothing fancy. I gave it to all of my vendors.

I had people calling me the day of the wedding. STAPH. I would give a list of #s to vendors and anyone who has volunteered to help (my mom's best friend was extremely helpful to my DOC by being an extra pair of hands before the wedding to set stuff up but sent me several text messages about where stuff was... It did not help me at all bc I had no idea and was freaking out about where the guest book pens were when I wasn't anywhere near the venue nor had I dropped off that stuff).
