i dont know why but after i wrote it i had a feeling youd say she wasnt here sorry about that x

Don't worry about it - you weren't to know. TBH, I'd want all the parents to enjoy the day rather than have "chores" to do, but that's just me

someone to check the venue is set up properly & candles are lit that's what we have the coordinator for!
as above for when we move into the evening room best man is also M.C. with big shouty voice!
make sure that everyone has signed the photo-frame n/a
make sure that the dj knows our 1st dance, fathers dance and requested songs. we have a band who will have a set-list!

Just a quick question - if my best woman is looking after OH's ring, should she have a bag? I guess she could have my lippy too?

Yeah of course, that'll be fine. Treat her like a pack horse (my friends all do with me as i always carry a huge bag) :rotfl:I'm sure a lippy and a ring in a nice little bag will be cool.

Our jeweller gave us a small pouch for the rings on the day, easier than the boxes for the best man. Can lend to you if it helps?

i am making a ring cusion using the mats that will go in our centre piece. Its only a cheap polyester thing from avon with a few sequins sewn in but i am going to use the favor ribbon with our names and date on it to hold the rings (obv sewing the ribbon on myself) and if i can learn it quick enough, i will also have our initials embroidered on t it. I am really crap with embroidery though.

The rings will be tied to the cushion with the ribbon and i am hoping to have a page boy to carry the rings for me.

My OH has come up trumps for this - he and his Best Men (2) are going to the venue early to check cake/tables/flowers/table plans.

I have been told just to arrive and get make up done! I have said there will need to be co-ordination for time when I can make a quick check too, so he and BM will go and watch the cricket! We are getting married at The Oval, while there is a cricket game!

I am not having Bridesmaids as they all live afr away, but on the day friend doing make-up, and another friend arriving early for dress checking.

No worries! I thought it was a nice touch by the jeweller, but it's not like we will use it again
