Wedding day mishaps

See about hiring a day of coordinator. Someone who handles any of those random blimps in the day..such as DJ is late, something breaks or goes missing etc. it’s good to have those plan b ideas but you don’t want to be the one having to actually deal with it on the wedding day. Pay someone else to. It will be worth it.

I agree about planning and coordinating. Daughter is extremely Type-A and had lists of her lists. She planned down to the last detail and had great vendors and a really wonderful, supportive wedding party, all of whom were on-board for doing their best to follow the plans she'd outlined (and, she had left a lot of extra time in the schedule, so a couple times on the day of the wedding we were actually slightly ahead and had time to breathe & enjoy what was going on). For the most part, everything was about as perfect as it could be, but daughter also gave herself a cut-off, I think it was when we left for the rehearsal, that from that point out she was just going to be "in the moment" and go with whatever happened. It was a great way to spend those last ~48 hours before the wedding, and definitely the wedding itself. Give yourself permission to let go at some point!

As far as DIYs, I will say the only stressful thing that week was the planned for last minute assembly of the cookie favors the afternoon of the rehearsal. It took longer than planned and daughter was, understandably, super distracted. I briefly wanted to kill her.... It turned out fine, but, if someone asked, I would say SKIP THAT. Good luck!

I am curious what type of things you created plans A, B, and C for? I am struggling to find what needs more than one plan?? Besides like if it rains my ceremony is inside instead.
