Wedding Day Checklist (What to Pack)
Below is just a small list of things to pack for your wedding day. You've got your dress/suit, you packed your overnight bag for after the wedding, what else do you need? Why add to your stress? We've got you covered! These are items that past brides, grooms, bridal party members, and more have asked if we had on hand, or if someone else had with them.
