Top 10 Things Brides Most Often Forget on Their Wedding&Day - Blog - Indianapolis Wedding Planners | Wedding Coordinators | Wedding Consultants | April Foster Events - StumbleUpon When a wedding day is packed with activity from beginning to end, it is easy to get lost amid appointments, checklists, and last-minute details. So, to ease the stress, here is a list of the top ten things we found from research that brides often forget on their wedding day. 10. A Point Person. It is not easy to get through wedding day responsibilities alone. Brides often forget to assign a “point” person on their wedding day, or a close friend or family member who can assist you by running minor tasks, preparing for emergencies, and ensuring that you remain well-fed, hydrated, and at ease. 9.

A Fun DIY Idea To Keep Kids Entertained At Weddings - StumbleUpon This is such a simple yet brilliant idea… All you need is a printer, some card, pencils and a disposable camera! {via Martha Stewart Weddings} Send children on a photo scavenger hunt with this game of i-spy! They have to spot a variety of typical wedding day occurrences / outfits and tick them off on their list. {I recommend using pencils rather than felt tips as you could end up with felt tip stains all over their hands, clothes and the table cloths ~ and you wouldn’t want felt tips anywhere near your pristine white dress!} If you wanted to, you could provide a little incentive such as a small bag of sweets or a pound shop toy for the first child to find all the things on the list or simply give the treats to the children’s parents for them to hand out as they see fit. Staying focused on this task will be tricky for some children ~ especially younger children so parent’s could reward them when they feel they’ve tried their best. Here’s a larger version:
