Packing Tips
Packing up all of the stuff for your wedding is a big task! Below are a few helpful tips that we have picked up from our past experience.
Label boxes by where you want them to go - not by what is in them! It helps your set up crew know your vision.
Alphabetize your escort cards! This takes up lots of time on the wedding day if you forget.
Bag things by table number! Its so helpful to be able to walk to a table and unpack everything you need.
Do your craft projects at home and make sure your pictures are already in their frames! Get everything assembled as soon possible so you aren’t in a rush on the big morning.
Unbox or unwrap whatever you can! Things like sparklers and votives that come pre-wrapped, should all arrive to the venue unpackaged to make for easy set up.
Put your tea candles inside the votives and pop the wicks up. It will make it easier to light them.
Napkins need to come pre folded! It can be helpful to get them a little damp to keep the creases nice and sharp!
Remember lighters, scissors, and other set up tools.
Anticipating smokers? Be sure to pack some ash trays. We provide a disposal in our designated smoking area. Too many cigarettes left behind qualifies as excessive clean up.
Don’t pack too many extra "just in case" things. It winds up being more work to just load in and out of the trailer.
Pack your linens last so they are the first thing to come out of the trailer at the venue!
Pack your alcohol first so it is the last thing to come out of the trailer at the venue.
Pack by space so it is easy to drive over to the ceremony space and drop off.
If you are using Abella as your Day Of Coordinators, please leave your boxes on the prep kitchen counter for us.
