She came armed with an entire suitcase of coralandnavy coordinated clothing. She also brought fabric samples that will be incorporated into the decor, and several pounds of lists outlining todo items and timetables for every aspect of the wedding, from the invites to the shower to the bridal arrival logistics. If I could be this organized at work, I'd be president of the college by now.
On the itinerary for this two week visit:
Visit the ceremony site
Visit the reception site and work out all logistics
Visit the shower site and plan menu
Pick up various registry items
Caterer tasting and plan reception menu
Makeup test
Plan floral arrangements
Try out place settings
Look at rings
Shop for favor bags
And probably a few hundred other items I am forgetting. Plus helping with my best friend's bridal shower! I don't understand how she has enough energy to do all this stuff. But I'm grateful that she does. Our guests would probably end up eating happy meals on the floor of the banquet hall otherwise. Here's to my mother, the wedding planner! If she ever decides she needs another career, I know what to suggest.
Caryl I love your outfit. Who ya goin' out with?Can I borrow your comb? I can't begin to imagine your lists and ideas.
ReplyDeleteI would expect nothing less from Caryl than a full itinerary and fabric samples!
