I am planning my wedding, however i appointed my aunt to be the Day-of coordiantor to handle business.

Im going to go to the hall arund 8AM that morning and drop off all the wedding stuff and maybe help out for an hour but then rest will be up to her

    I would give her a timeline, and write out the directions for anything you want set up (how/where/etc.) Also any other pertinent info that she would need to make sure the days goes as plan and is on time

    LP-

    Biggest thing I could suggest is to have her come to your vendor meetings with you.

    When you meet with the DJ to plan music and reception events; when you tour a venue; when you meet with a photographer; when you do a tasting; when look at decor etc etc.

    The more she is familiar with your vendor team and overall vision that you have, the better she'll be able to coordinate on the big day.

    Congrats and good luck!

    Did you appoint her or did she volunteer? what are you entrusting to her? like, are you just going to hand her boxes of decor and say "go!"

    if you have a very specific vision for the decor then you need to give her very specific instructions. she needs to have a timeline for everything, including everyone's scheduled arrivals. she will also need to be able to provide specific instructions to the DJ, photographer, florist, cake, etc. and you need to trust her to make decisions.

    Copies of all the contracts -- just in case there is a misunderstanding day of.

    Phone numbers for EVERYONE.

    In addition to all the suggestions above, I suggest also giving her a list of the people you need for photographers (they will need to be "corralled").

    If you have a specific vision for how you want everything I would give her detailed plans with everything i.e. "Guest book table" and then a rough outline showing that you want this photo here, the guest book, a floral arrangement, this table cloth, etc.. BE DETAILED. Do this for everything.

    Also, give an outline of the seating assignments if you are having assigned seats. If by any chance the place cards are not correct or someone can't find their seats it will be back up and she can direct the person to where they are supposed to sit. If she has to organize the cards or place them at the tables it is nice to have an outline.

    The names of the order you want people to walk down the aisle- if she is helping with this. Usually DOC's help line people up and direct them down the aisle. It is good to have list of who will be walking so she can make sure everyone is there and standing in the proper spot etc.
