I dressed professional, wore flats (no running around in heels for me), and had my bluetooth in along with the phone #'s for the florist, DJ, caterer, photographer. I ended up doing:
- last minute detail work in the reception area
- set-up the unity candle table, put flowers in the girls'/guys' rooms
- brought pitchers of water/ice to each room as well as snacks
- assisted the photographer with detail shots (ie-dress, flowers, jewelry, etc.) and organizing the people who needed to be in the photos
- pinned on the ring-bearer's boutineer (he wouldn't let anyone else, they were all family)
- repaired ripped table cloths
- set-up the cake table (spun the napkins just how you taught me mom!)
- helped the caterer set-up the hor'devours table
- called the DJ when she was running late, after she arrived-delivered the CDs and timeline
- managed to control the Jr. Bridesmaid, flower girl, and ring-bearer...whew.
- opened the door for the bridal party entrance into the ceremony (and exit into the reception)
- made sure there was constant communication between the couple and DJ during the reception
- helped cut/serve the cake
- announced when we needed everyone outside to say farewell to the couple
- helped with clean-up
- ...and probably tons of little things I'm forgetting
I only got to take detail photos, but the photographer got a picture of me with the Bride and Groom and said she'd e-mail it to me in a week or so (her son is stationed in Hawaii and deploying to Afghanistan Monday... she is actually on a plane headed there right now).
