With so many details to keep track of, it’s easy for even the most organized couples to overlook a few important things. To help ensure a stress-free wedding day, here’s a list of the 25 most commonly forgotten items—some small, some significant, but all worth remembering!

1. Arranging Transportation: Don’t forget to plan how family members, the wedding party, and guests will get to and from the venue.

2. Assigning Someone to Gather Gifts: Designate a trusted friend or family member to collect and store gifts and cards at the end of the night.

6. Cash for Vendor Tips: Prepare envelopes with cash tips for vendors like the photographer, DJ, and venue staff.

7. Eating a Healthy Breakfast: A busy morning can make it easy to forget, but starting the day with a good meal is essential!
