It’s time to leave for the hall. Don’t scramble and leave any item behind. Have your list prepped, packed, and organized ahead and enjoy a smooth, calm day
Yes, pack all of it because you never know. And while there might be other personal items that you need, this is a basic list that works universally.
What might those other personal items be? If you have a family member that may need an epi pen, pack it. If you know your little ones will want to get into pajamas before going home and that they’ll want a cozy blanket in the car, add that to your list too (especially if the wedding is not in your home town and they’ll sleep in the car).
Some people like to pack minimally. That’s because whatever you bring along will have to be packed back up at midnight (or whatever time the wedding is over!).
Some basics:
- Kids need to be fed. Make sure you have clean finger foods at the hall.
- Try on the gown, do a dress rehearsal, and make sure all the details are good before the wedding – see more wedding tips on these topics over here.
- Note that if you are hiring a dresser for the evening, she will be bringing many of the items on this list and you won’t need to.
