Going to a wedding- what do I need??

fishfins

Hi everyone,

We've been invited to a friend's wedding, it's next weekend and I think I've got everything I need but I'm not really sure what I need to take! I've only ever been to two weddings, one as a bridesmaid when I was 9 and the other was my Dad's, which wasn't really an ordinary wedding. This wedding I think is probably going to be quite a formal one, it's in a church then on to the reception.

I'm trying not to spend too much as well, apart from anything I don't really know the people all that well, but saying that I don't want to forget something important!

So far I've got:
Dress (£25 H&M)
Shoes (ebay)
Clutch bag (ebay)
Flowery thing for hair (handmade from some silk flowers £3 from John Lewis)
Card
Present
Small things like umbrella, plasters, cash, phone, etc

I'm not sure if I need to take confetti?? And anything else I've forgotten!

Thanks for any help

I would be adding to the list

camera if you want to take some pics
tissues in case you get a bit emotional

other than that you've got it covered. id also be taking some painkillers, small bar of chocolate or something to eat and making sure i had local taxi numbers if getting a taxi. i know its considered rude to take something to nibble on, but if their are medical reasons or its going to be a long time between the church and the meal then i dont see a problem with it.

I'd ask about the confetti just in case. Some places won't allow it being thrown in their grounds. The couple may have some bought for the day too or might have gone with bubbles or something. Better checking than getting a load, spending a little cash and not being able to use it
