Wedding Information Packet for wedding party members

I know this may seem like a little much, but I'm an overly organized individual, so please humor me. I drafted this packet that is rife with informational goodies for all of those involved in our big day. Pretty much everyone on the contact list on the last page will get a copy of this packet (via email, and will have a physical copy). I removed everyone's phone numbers from this particular version, so I could get a little feed back from you lovely ladies (I'm actually asking for opinions this time!). Is there any thing important you think I may be leaving out? Anything that seems a little redundant?

    I do like the idea of adding pictures, to kind of break up all the text.

    Please do! Lol. I have way to much time on my hands. :/ I don't like being bored, and I get bored REALLY easy. So I am constantly finding ways to pass the time.

    I don't think it's overwhelming, but I like to be organized like that. I make something similar for brides that want them. I tend to use a bit of humor in them so that people don't feel like they are being told to do something like a child and the guys in the wedding are thankful for them.

    Elle Ill look tomorrow on a different computer. I love this, I knew I wasn't the only one that like things to be a certain way. I would rather know my bridal party know what I expect. Instead of me getting upset at the the unknown.

    I feel like you are incorrectly using the term "Bridal Party". To me, that refers to the people on only the Bride's side. It should be addressed to the Wedding Party if you are including bridesmaids and groomsmen.

    Am I wrong?

    I have always heard the bridal party refered to as everybody in the wedding. Bridal party for the whole group, bridesmaids for the bride, groomsmen for the groom. Maybe its a regional thing?

    Also the part that says Hair (if possible) - does someone in the bridal party not have hair, or just not long enough hair? I dunno, it sounds funny. If there is one person unable to do their hair that specific way you have probably already talked to them about it.

    Anything like that if you have already discussed it I would not include it. There are too many words, and people will skip over the important details because they don't have time to read a novel.

    Do the socks really matter for the guys if they are wearing converse shoes?

    Yay for sonic screwdrivers though!

    Bridal = Bride

    I say wedding party. Maybe it is regional, but I think this makes the most sense.

    I just listed the socks so they wouldnt forget them. It was meant as a sort of checklist, as there are specific socks fh picked out for them.

    Smiley smile
