Wedding Planning 101

Quick Tip: Where Do the Gifts Go?

  1. Great post! It’s amazing how much “wedding stuff” has to be tracked. I have a couple of systems in place. 1 List of the wedding items with 3 columns: column 1 bride checks if she has an item (not all brides have toasting flutes, cake cutters etc) and I can’t know if items are missing unless I know they have them in the first place. Column 2 is for me to check off on the wedding day and Column 3 is for me to check off that those items are packed at the end of the night. I also have the bride fill out who is responsible for removing the items. On a couple of occasions I’ve had parents “tell” me it was my job because I was the planner and I was able to pull out the sheet that indicated that someone else (usually them) were responsible. This is especially important when there is a lot of stuff and I know it isn’t going to fit in my car. For the cards I always bring large envelopes and put the cards in those and seal them as to avoid a “Card fell behind the backseat of the car” issue with friends or family and have never had an issue with that.

    This is one of the questions we ask at our final timeline meeting 4-6 weeks before wedding day. On wedding night, who takes the gifts? Part of our service is to load them so we want to know (and want the bride+her parents to know) exactly where they should be. We typically load them in the parents’ car during the reception while everyone is dancing and we have a chance to sneak away and get them all loaded up. 🙂
