Getting "things" to the reception always seems to create headaches. By "things," I mean guest books, programs, menu cards, party favors, baskets for the ladies' room, escort and place cards and the like (add kippots, kiddish cup and the ketubah if you are jewish.) It's never fun, and it's really not fun if you are doing it the day you are getting married. And you want to feel special that day, so please, make arrangements to get all of this stuff to the venue before your wedding day (or hire a messenger to do it.) You will be grateful you did.
Some additional thoughts:
- Provide the venue with a list of what they are getting, and ask them to contact you if anything is missing.
- On the list, make sure you indicate what to do with these items AFTER the wedding (and include gifts.) (OK to discard the programs, your mother will pick up any leftover party favors, etc...)
- It's possible that you won't have the place cards done when everything is ready to go. OK, so now you only have one "thing" to think of that day. Infinitely better.
