12 days.
So much to do.
- Get something to put drinks in. Galvanized tubs are pretty but expensive. What to do??
- Go to museum and examine amplification possibilities. Drag an AV-savvy coworker with me.
- Buy and prepare a whole bunch of fruits and vegetables. Bag them. Note to self: buy gallon-sized zip-lock bags. Sucker friend or family member into arranging them artfully on platters on wedding day.
- Figure out what the rules are regarding moving tables/chairs after the reception. Do our friends/family do it? Do the museum staff do it?
- Buy supplies and make directional signs so people know to go to the main entrance.
- Assign people to tasks: making sure the music keeps playing, making sure the food and drink remain replenished, making sure the generator keeps generating, making announcements, etc.
- Take dress to dry-cleaners.
- Pick up dress from dry-cleaners.
- Call bakery with final headcount
- Get passports from safe deposit box (though I guess that could be done in the couple of days between the wedding and honeymoon)
Oh, hey! Right while I was working on this post, I got an email from the museum. I replied with all sorts of useful data, and now I can check some stuff off my list. Keep in mind it wasn’t necessarily on the list above, but it was hovering around in my brain.
I just remembered something else I have to do.
- Attend a choir rehearsal so I get a chance to actually hear them live. I have a feeling that during the ceremony, my head’s going to be spinning around so much I won’t remember a thing about what their singing sounded like.
- Have trial hairdo appointment. That’s this Thursday.
Make sure Denny and the groomsmen get their tuxes. Nevermind. This is Not My Problem.
How many tubs do you need? Galvanized tubs don’t seem to be very expensive online (like $6-7 each for pretty large ones). If you need many though that could add up. What is the name of that farm supply store in iowa city? i bet they have them there. i will ask luke if he knows the name.
ok i guess it is in cedar rapids, and its called theisens.
That’s a great lead, Linds! Where are you finding galvanized tubs for $6-7? I’m not finding them for nearly that cheap. I will check Theisen’s, though. I know their themesong: “More of everything…at Theisen’s!”
