Things I Need to Figure Out
Children
*Do we need a babysitter?
*What about games for them to play?
Caterer
*What time will the food be delivered
* Is the caterer providing the plates? If so can they get them in white?
*What will the menu be?
Beverages
*Are we purchasing alcoholic drinks? If so, what kind?
*Do we need water bottles?
*Do we need punch bowls or other beverage containers?
Rentals
* How many tables, chairs, etc do we need?
* Are we renting linens?
* Do we need to rent beverage containers?
* Do we need to rent trash cans?
* Should we rent plates, etc, or use disposables?
Photography
*Who will be in the professional pictures?
* What time will we do the family pictures?
*Where should we have the pictures taken? If we do it in the front yard, people will see us as they are coming in, If we do it in the backyard, we don't have much variation in the pictures. (as far as the background is concerned) Also, the sun is setting in the backyard.
Lighting
*Do we need to rent lights?
*How much are string lights? How long do solar string lights last?
* How much are candles?
*Would battery operated candles be better? (more safe)
*How do you light paper lanterns?
Music/ Karaoke
* Are we going to play music during the reception? If so, who will make the playlist?
* What music are we using for the ceremony? (My cello teacher offered to play)
* Should we have Karaoke? If so, where to set it up? Is the karaoke guy dad likes available?

* How many servings do we want?
*What flavors do we want?
Attire
