The florist should deliver your bouquets to the wedding site and any flowers you have ordered to the reception site. Getting wedding insurance in case something unforeseen happens. The person making your cake will deliver it to the reception site and set it up. I would give the cake knife and server to your baker as well. What about favors for the guests? Who is responsible for setting up the bar? I know you aren't having alcohol but are you serving non-alcoholic beverages? Who supplies them and how are they served? If you are serving punch, you'll need a punch bowl unless the reception site provides that. Are your guests tossing anything as you leave the ceremony site? If they are you need to bring whatever that is and the containers that will hold the item. Setting up the chairs at the park. I would hand out the programs instead of hanging them on the chairs because if there's much of a breeze, they may blow off and be blowing all over the park. Aisle runner for the park so that your dress doesn't get soiled. Is the DJ going to serve as MC? If so, he needs a list of the order of the reception and approximate times for things to happen. He also needs a play list and needs to know if he's introducing the two of you at the reception. Do you have cake boxes for any leftover cake for your guests to take if they want it? Do you have an emergency kit? Do you have baskets for the restrooms? Do you have maps for how to get to the reception? Those are usually put in the program which is another reason not to hang them from the chairs. Are you putting bows on the aisle chair like pew bows? Congratulations and Good Luck!!
Reply:FOOD! - make sure enough plates and utensils and glasses are on hand. Napkins, food will be restocked upon devouring. Drinks will be replenished and cleanup.





CAKE- who is going to make sure it is there. Who is going to serve it. Are you going to have the special knife%26gt;? Make sure it is taken or you will be upset.





Music, garter, alcohol, everything needs to be in someone else's hands so that you can relax and enjoy your day because we all know you won't be able to relax and enjoy your day.
Reply:Seriously, the most over looked chore is picking up the trash and vacuuming.





Don't forget any gifts and cards, cake topper and registry book.





EDIT: Your toasting flutes! Make sure someone grabs them.





Good Luck and Happy Planning!
Reply:I'd put the groomsmen in charge of the chairs.





I'd not hang the programs on the chairs have the guest book person hnad them out--the problem with them being placed on chairs is they could blow away.





The brides maids/maid of honor, mother of the bride, mother in law, etc can decorate for the reception...





handing out the flowers everyone can just pick theirs out of the box.





I'd think the maid of honor can be responsible for your dress--if you're meaning after the ceremony youre planning on changing.





During the ceremony you hand the maid of honor yout flowers then she hands them back.





If you were not leaving immidately from the reception for the honeymoon you can load the gifts in your car, if you are then the maid of honor or other wedding party, it'd have to be someone you'd trust to not lose anything, the clean up again I guess the bridal party...
