Getting into and out of transportation always takes a few minutes longer than the drive itself so plan more travel time than you think you’ll need

Bring snacks along in your transportation to keep your energy up all day

Plan transportation for how you will get from the reception to your house/hotel after the reception

Communicate any major road constructions or projects that may impact accessing your church and reception venues to your guests

Transportation

02

Provide breakfast in your getting ready suite for the wedding party members.

Plan when you will eat lunch on the wedding day. With the excitement and nerves you may only want to snack on something light, but it is important that you do in fact eat and stay hydrated so that you don't risk fainting later. 

You’ll need to go to the bathroom throughout the day, be mindful about when you might need to do this. Before the bride gets into her dress, in the 30 minute out of sight time before the mass, before you leave the church, when you arrive at the reception venue are all natural times to do this on the day.

Food & Breaks

01

Bring a basket for your wedding programs if one is not provided by the church

Place a packet of tissues at your seats for during the mass (small water too can be a good idea on a hot day)

Bouquet of flowers for Marian devotion purchased and placed by the bride and grooms seats for the mass (or other area designated by your parish)

Confirm who will be responsible for the marriage license once signed (often times parishes handle this responsibility and other times they pass it along to the couple)
